Short –Term Mission Trips To Chile
We are in contact with the Chilean Baptist Convention leadership (the Convención de Iglesias Bautistas de la Misión Chilena). Presently we know of 25 churches that were damaged or destroyed along with 9 pastors who have lost homes. Chili is a wonderful place for a church group to do construction and other types of missions. Dates, locations and lodging will be worked out with the Baptist Union of Chile. Spanish is the main language spoken in Chile.
The BGCT is offering grants to help with airfare to Haiti and Chile. The average cost to fly to Haiti is around $600 to $700 dollars, Chile is even higher. Contact Marla Bearden at 214-828-5382 if you are interested in finding out more about these opportunities.
