      Students travel to a suburb of Santiago, Maipu Chile, to work alongside our dear friends and ministry partners, the Phillips family. Students are immersed in the culture while participating in the activities of the church, including a worship service, young adult’s ministry, Bible studies and more. With a focus on outreach and evangelism, students will visit the coffee shop and participate in community activities like soccer clinics on a field Valley teams built.

Students stay with host families and experience Chilean culture and food, making this trip a unique cultural immersion opportunity.
