SAMS Latino Experience - SAMS Youth

Latino Experience

"I would recommend Latino Experience to anyone who is open to a life-changing experience"

guitars.pngGet involved in cross-cultural mission. - It’s your chance to experience real life in Latin America first hand. It lasts just 3 or 4 weeks, but is a life changing experience!!! As well as interacting with the churches, (and maybe see a few sights), the teams will work alongside the church in South America, as they do practical work and reach out to their communities. You might find yourself in a shantytown in Peru, a new church in Uruguay, a street children project in Brazil or an indigenous village in Paraguay.

"Staying in a boarding school in Chol Chol was an amazing but humbling experience for me. Despite the poverty the children had amazing love and joy which was precious to me. I learnt that being with the kids and showing God's love to them was better than doing." Charlotte Hastie, LE 2002 in Chile

"On the Latino Experience to Chile I learnt a huge amount about God and my relationship with Him. Before I left one of my friends had said to me that I'd be really aware of God's presence when I arrived in Chile, and that was so true." Laura Calder, LE 2002 in Chile
