Are you interested in joining a partnership that has blessed people across North America since the 1980s? Is the Spirit urging you to discover Christ’s work in communities that look dramatically different from your own?
During March break 2026, 20-30 people and leaders from the East Central Ontario Regional Council together with the Eastern Ontario Outaouais Regional Council and the Pacific Mountain Regional Council will travel to San Salvador to be guests of our global partners at Emmanuel Baptist Church. Through this week together you will learn about Salvadoran history, perhaps help build a school, community centre or church in rural El Salvador, learn about peace making initiatives in a country with a violent history. In short, your life will change.
Adults who have visited El Salvador before will also have an opportunity to visit United Church global partner ADES, the Santa Marta community advocacy and agriculture support group.
Are you ready for this?
Then please consider joining us March 6-20, 2026, (actual dates to be confirmed) but before you complete this application, please consider some important, practical facts:
While our hosts are well connected and make our safety and health their priority, it is important to understand the political situation in El Salvador:
