LATIN LINK
Our vision is to see vibrant, Bible-believing Christian communities in Latin America, impacting their neighbours, their societies and the wider world. We work in partnership with churches to send and receive individuals, families and teams to share the love of God by caring for street children, training church leaders, supporting university students and generating employment opportunities.
Objects
The Objects of the Charity are:-3.1 to advance the mission of Christ, principally in and from Latin America and also amongst Spanish and Portuguese speaking people elsewhere in the world and in particular (but without limitation to the foregoing) to join in evangelism, church-planting, the discipling of Christians and the training of leaders, working in partnership with Christians in Latin America; and 3.2 the relief of those who are suffering hardship or injustice by reason of their physical, social, environmental or economic conditions, including working to prevent the causes of such hardship and injustice. Any change to the Objects is subject to consultation with the wider Latin Link mission community.
