During a weeklong English camp in rural Chile attended by 80 at-risk youngsters, 40 of the children received Jesus as their Savior. “Vision for Chile, an Alliance ministry, brought a team of 10 people to teach English as a Second Language,” said Robert and Cheryl Fugate, Alliance missionaries who serve in Santiago. “The group held three hours of English classes each day, and national Chilean leaders shared Bible stories and taught songs. For most of the children, this was their first time to hear the gospel. Many had never even heard the song ‘Jesus Loves Me.’”
Vision For Chile is involved in construction projects designed to improve the living conditions of homeless children living in Alliance orphanages in Santiago, Chile. The group also ministers to the youngsters through cultural celebrations, providing gifts of love and sharing testimonies with the children.
