Our hope for these immersion experiences is for participants to encounter a culture and way of living different from their own, walking away with a broader worldview and an integrated understanding of their faith as a part of who they are and how they act for a more just and peaceful world. We especially hope this introduction may help clarify how individuals feel called to serve in the short and long term.
We will pray with the community, contribute to a service project to better their grounds, and enjoy playing with the children living at the Finca. The children speak only Spanish, but we will bring a mix of English and Spanish speakers and be guided by bilingual Finca staff and volunteers.
The immersion will cost approximately $1000- $1500 including airfare, food, transportation and housing. Trip participants will have the opportunity to raise funds to cover the cost of the trip.
SPOTS ARE LIMITED, though still available; we will reach out in early January to offer spots to those who have been accepted. Priority will be given for those who apply by Jan 8th at 11:59pm ET.
