The work of Mission is now as varied as the continent of South American. No longer are we simply sending people. Financial support for various projects is being sent directly to the people involved.

• Siwok Crafts

• Education

  Education is seen as a crucial part of Mission, especially in St. Andrew’s College Paraguay because through the work of Christian teachers, the whole of society can be influenced for the good of all.

• Bible Translation

  Bible Translators are working alongside members of the Wichi, Enxet, Toba, Lengua and Chorote people in order that these indigenous tribes can have the Word of God in their own language.

• Orphanages & Street Children

  We support childrens’ projects in Brazil - Dona Marta comunity centre, My Father’s House in Recife, Boystown Orphanage, and Mount Horebe. We also support the Esperanza foster home and street childrens’ ministry in Paraguay.

• Church Planting

  Church planting is actively supported in Paraguay, Bolivia and Argentina. New churches have been established and congregations are growing. One recent example is the church plant in Remansito, Paraguay. Teams from Ireland have been involved in construction and repair. Read more about this kind of work in Mission Paraguay, Reencontro in Brazil, and Santa Cruz in Bolivia.

• Training and seed funding

  Locally based church and community initiatives have received seed funding from Ireland. An example of the seed funding process in practice is the Red Box Project in Northern Argentina. Read more. We are also working to train pastors for the Argentine church through the La Caldera 2010 project.
