Mission Trip Details: Pastor Rafael and Anita’s Asamblea de Dios church in Villaflora, Quito, has expanded its outreach to Machachi, southern Quito, with an after-school program that has exceeded all expectations. Overwhelmed by the response, the church is now reaching out for help. Join hands with the SIFAT teams as we build a two-story addition to accommodate more classrooms, a kitchen, dining area, computer lab, music room, and offices. Your contribution will help provide a space where children can experience joy and God’s love, creating a lasting impact on their lives.

 

What Will We Be Doing?

• Worship & Exploration: Begin your journey by worshiping alongside Villaflora church members, followed by lunch near an extinct volcano crater and a visit to the equator.
• Vacation Bible School (VBS): Engage with the community’s children and youth through morning and afternoon VBS sessions. Activities include Bible lessons, crafts, games, and unforgettable experiences for all.
• Construction: Roll up your sleeves and get involved in the construction process. From mixing mortar and concrete to laying blocks, spreading stucco, and painting, contribute to the growth of this vital facility.
• Tourist Day: Explore the beauty of Ecuador on a designated tourist day before heading back home.
