Field Cost – $2,000 + airfare, insurance & visa costs
Buenos Aires is a large and fast paced city. The city is home to roughly 15 million people with 3 million of those concentrated in the city center where our team works. Like most urban settings life is hectic, crowded, and full of distractions. The city has a more European feel and culture than other cities in Latin America. There is a high literacy rate, booming arts and music scene. and proud history here. However there are many people struggling due to a poor and fluctuating economy. Worries over making ends meet clash with the business of city life. Many people are looking for hope. We know the answer for that is Jesus Christ, the only one who can bring lasting hope. Thankfully we do not have to do this work alone. The church has an established presence here. In the city center there are 42 Baptist churches.
This may sound like a lot but not nearly enough to reach 3 million people. As a team we seek to see people evangelized, see churches planted and see our Argentine brothers and sisters in Christ mobilized to their city, nation and to the world. That’s where you can help us. Because so many people live packed together in large apartment buildings and have such busy lives, they can often be hard to reach. One strategy we are utilizing to connect with new people is digital media. While here you will help with creating content and getting images for our digital outreach. We will work on strategies to connect with new people in creative ways, specifically through social media. You will also be involved with prayer walking and mapping around the city which will help with our church planting and mobilization of national partners, University outreach, and English club activities. There will also be opportunities to connect with and walk alongside local believers as you encourage them and go together to share the gospel with others.
