PURPOSE

San Juan del Sur is home to our Latin America headquarters. Since Hans and his wife, Demi moved there three years ago, God has produced incredible fruit in the day to day life of the community especially with local families. Our goal is to create a safe, fun, and engaging space for the youth in the city through a VBS camp. Here, they will hear the gospel, be taught the word of God, and dignified as God’s image bearers! If you have a passion for teaching children and are willing to serve where needed, this is a great trip for you to get an up close look at our ministry in Latin America!
