For nearly three decades, Engage has partnered with IberoAmerican Ministries (IAM) and their network of Ecuadorian churches and church planters who are passionate about multiplying healthy, gospel-centered communities. On this trip we will come alongside the ministry work in the small coastal villages in and around San Jose. IAM has been faithfully investing in this community through local leaders, and we will get the chance to encourage them, serve and evangelize alongside them, and experience how the global Church lives out Kingdom Work.
Who are we partnering with? IAM is a church planting and compassion-based organization working to see peoples, communities and nations transformed by Christ, through the global movements of Kingdom disciples. Working in South America, West Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, IAM’s goal is to see disciples of Christ rise up and continue extending His kingdom to other parts of the world. Since 1992, IAM has worked using dynamic discipleship techniques and a variety of compassion and education projects to see this goal come alive. In Ecuador specifically, IAM has served to raise up national leaders who now work with 6 church plants, elementary schools, children’s feeding programs and tutoring programs in low-income communities.
What will we be doing? Serving in small coastal villages through Bible Programming for kids, plant seeds among unbelievers through home & prayer visits, and participate in outreach strategies to help the church meet new people. It's a chance to stretch our faith through evangelism and testimony, serve together, and return home with a bigger picture of how God is working in Ecuador through His people.
Cost per person: $2,500
