Experience the breathtaking view of snow-capped Andes Mountains as you step outside your door each morning. Work for the Lord this summer in the shadow of the mighty Mt. Cotopaxi, the world’s highest active volcano. Following Boot Camp you travel to Orlando International Airport for a flight across the Caribbean Sea to Panama City, Panama. A connecting flight takes you across the Gulf of Panama to Quito, the capital city of Ecuador. From Quito you bus past majestic scenery to the Teen Missions in Ecuador BiBle, Missionary & Work Training Center.
The base is an old Spanish-style ranch with a barn, house and buildings surrounding a courtyard. Your project is to upgrade the buildings and repair the road to the base. Housing is in dorms with hot showers available. Bring winter clothing for cold days and nights.
During free time you might enjoy a hike up the mountains surrounding the property or have your picture taken with Mt. Cotopaxi in the background. On weekends, you can visit churches in Latacunga and use puppets, songs and testimonies to share the love of Christ. The local Indians will visit the base and you can barter for their goods.
On sightseeing day you will visit Mitad del Mundo, where you can stand astride the Equator, one foot in the Northern and one foot in the Southern Hemispheres. Enjoy bartering in the local market for llama wool clothing and blankets, jewelry, dolls, leather goods and paintings.
