Short term mission

Step-pic (8K)


We send Step teams to work with churches in Latin America, Spain and Portugal each year. The teams usually work on a building project, in community work and evangelism. For three to seven weeks, or four to six months. 
Step has its own website www.stepteams.org  
or contact step.uk@latinlink.org | tel. 0118 957 7100

AguarunaVillage (9K)


As the name suggests, Stride is longer than Step. It offers individual applicants more time in which to gain experience, contribute, and explore their faith in another culture. Find out more and read how others got on, or contact stride.uk@latinlink.org | tel. 0118 957 7100.

Both programmes run each year - Step during the Spring and Summer months, and Stride starting from September.
