From La Araucanía to the nations
The mission that moves us.
We want to awaken the Church to the power of the Word and train believers to live it and share it —so that God's truth transforms each life first, and from there, every family, community and people.
Oral Bible translation
Not every culture relates to the Word through written text. We form teams that translate the Bible orally, so oral-tradition peoples receive it in their own language and voice.
Rooted in our land
A work that begins here, alongside the peoples of La Araucanía, and reaches out to the nations. We serve with respect, closeness and hope.
A Church that leaves a mark
Discipling the 7 spheres of society.
We believe the Word transforms every area of life. We form believers who influence, with the gospel, the places where God puts them.

Testimonies
Lives the Word transformed.
Here the Bible stopped being a distant book and became part of my daily life.

Learning to study the Scriptures myself changed the way I see everything.
