For nearly three decades, Engage has partnered with IberoAmerican Ministries (IAM) and their network of Ecuadorian churches who are passionate about multiplying healthy, gospel-centered communities. On this trip your students will come alongside one of those churches in the small coastal town of San Jose. IAM has been faithfully investing in this community through local leaders, and your team will get the chance to encourage them, serve alongside them, and experience how the global Church lives out Kingdom Work.

During your time in San Jose, your group will help with children’s ministry, run soccer outreach on the beach, and teach Bible lessons that remind kids of God’s deep love for them. You’ll also have opportunities to build relationships with families in the community, support IAM’s program for vulnerable children, and even tackle some work projects if needed to help the church keep moving forward. It’s a chance for your students to stretch their faith, practice serving together, and return home with a bigger picture of how God is already at work in Ecuador.
