MAKING DISCIPLES, DEVELOPING LEADERS, TRANSFORMING COMMUNITIES.
Life in the jungle is undeniably tough with urgent physical and spiritual needs. That is precisely why we have dedicated ourselves to bringing hope to the people of the Amazon for over 70 years.
We meet them where they are, caring for their bodies with desperately needed medical and dental services while also nourishing their souls with the truth about Jesus. This kind of effort goes way beyond short term missions to create lasting change.
Real transformation requires more, it takes a genuine personal investment from our indigenous pastors, staff and volunteers who invest deeply in these communities. Their efforts have proven effective to made disciples, train future leaders in our seminaries, and launch those new leaders to transform their communities.
WHY CHOOSE US:
Long-standing history (70 years)
Indigenous staff
Combined physical + spiritual care
Access to remote villages
6 Training centers serving 3 countries
We don’t just go on mission, we stay to:
Make Disciples
Your team plants, waters and they may also see a harvest. All of this work needs to be cared for after you are gone. Our pastors and staff return to stay connected to the people to bring about long lasting change.
Develop Leaders
Our work continues as we identify potential leaders to be trained in our seminary. Our indigenous pastors and staff equip new leaders that are launched into their own community to lead churches and disciple others.
Transform Communities
A community of disciples that have well trained spiritual leaders will bring long term, sustainable impact to a community. The power of the gospel to change one life will be multiplied to affect many more.
This Is Not A Quick Fix
It takes time to change individuals and their community:
Meet physical needs to build trust
Share the gospel with compassion
Disciple new believers consistently
Train indigenous leaders in our seminary program
Launch these new leaders to make disciples and plant churches
“Without the seminary training of Amazon Vida I would not be able to reach my people with the gospel.”
