We also need workers to work generally with children in a day care centre children aged 3 - 5 years or with older kids, or in our Casa Hogar for abandoned children in Arequipa.

 Northern Argentina Positions

Following a visit of the  Latin Link Representative in the last Urban Pastoral Meeting, the short term programs STEP and STRIDE from Latin Link have been approved. This means that there is a new openness to
consider short term missions which is quite an achievement.

The Urban churches need the following personnel:

1. Medical doctors
2. Nurses
3. Teachers
4. A couple to work in a new church plant in San Salvador de Jujuy
5. A couple to work in a new church plant in Formosa city

The latter two would be good to have a presence of 4 years. However, if
somebody could stay for less time, this would be fine too.

Short Term Missionary Service is:

Short Term Service is anywhere from a week or two up to 6 months, and offers an opportunity to gain a taste of mission work and sparking enthusiasm in local churches for ongoing mission involvement.  This can include sending teams of youth and adults who go to assist Long Term Mission Partners with specific projects and ministry.  This could be a unique vacation experience, an adventure for youth groups, or just the right opportunity to kick off, or spice up, retirement.


Mid Term Missionary Service is:

Mid Term Mission Partners go to Latin America for anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.  They are responsible for their own support and will be directed to wherever work is available.


Long Term Missionary Service is:

Long Term Mission Partners make a commitment for at least three years plus preparation and deputation time.  This involves raising prayer, financial and practical support from friends, home church, other churches and groups and maintaining communication with supporters and SAMS Canada.  Placement in Latin America is arranged with an individual diocese and its Bishop, through our Mission Personnel Committee.


Short Term Group Mission Service

Groups are an important part of mission service and the mission trip will normally last only one or two weeks.  Generally a group will go to an area with specific objectives.  These could include providing dental or medical service, building a fence around a structure, or building or renovating a structure.  These groups work with SAMS Canada members in setting up, planning, and preparation for the trip.  They then work closely with mission staff in the host area when they get there.
