LIVING CONDITIONS
Each intern will live with a Chilean family. In most cases the majority of family members will be Christians and involved in one of our local churches in the Santiago area. Most of these families are of the middle- to lower-middle-income bracket (for Chilean standards). They will be comfortable living conditions, but in most cases relatively “cramped” based on U.S. standards.

Most of the interns’ ministry responsibilities will be carried out within the local church of which they are assigned, under the supervision of the local pastor and the supervising missionary. They will gather together on a regular basis (usually weekly) with other interns as a team and with supervising missionaries and pastors for fellowship, cultural orientation and debriefing.
