Long-term sending: Latin America
The church in Latin America is growing substantially. Most of our work involves partnering with established local churches in what we call “mission-with-church” relationships. These churches are now taking steps to engage in missions across other cultures and countries as far away as Spain and North Africa; our partnerships are therefore moving toward what we call “mission-with-mission” relationships.
