ASSIST first began its ministry of supporting indigenous pastors back in the early 1990’s. The ministry in Latin America has gone through periods of growth and change and we currently support 15 local pastors in one specific country.
We provide spiritual encouragement to needy people through supporting local pastors so that they can focus more effectively on their own church families and communities. ASSIST is also involved with equipping pastors with biblical training through educational seminars and conferences at a local Bible Institute.
ASSIST finances projects by raising funds to build new churches, schools, and medical clinics, provide ministry equipment and facility upgrades in local churches, as well as meet the most basic necessities of the community, like providing clean water.
Short-term mission trips provide opportunities for evangelism, street ministry, and free eye clinics in remote communities as well.
We are excited to announce, that we will have in-country ASSIST representatives continuing to support the work we currently do, as well as support new work with orphaned and vulnerable children families. Please see the news page for updates regarding our new Latin America project.
