Chile is a breathtaking country surrounded by some of God’s most majestic creations—the Atacama Desert to the north, the towering Andes Mountains to the east, the wild beauty of Patagonia to the south, and the vast Pacific Ocean to the west. But beyond its natural beauty lies a deep spiritual need.

Since arriving in early 2023, our family has had the privilege of planting Iglesia Bautista Esperanza (Hope Baptist Church) in Valdivia—now one of the few independent Baptist churches in southern Chile. Over the past 2.5 years, we’ve launched a growing addictions recovery program, weekly discipleship groups, and are actively training future church leaders through the local church. God is doing something incredible in southern Chile, and we are grateful to be part of it.

We were sent out by DaySpring Baptist Church with a vision to reach the lost, equip the saints, and see lasting Gospel-centered transformation throughout Chile.
