CORRIENTES MISIONERAS
Corrientes Misioneras is a mentoring program for the preparation of Latin American missionaries. The Latin American church is participating in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19) and Corrientes Misioneras is helping these missionaries fulfill the call to "go and make disciples of all nations."
The name of Corrientes reflects the flow of the Holy Spirit and the movement of God's people in response to the Spirit's call. Since its launch in 2009, Corrientes Misioneras has trained Latinos who are serving the Lord in Asia, Africa, North & South America, and Europe.
Our history
The Mission Made Passion
The Corrientes Coalition is a network of mission agencies and churches united to share resources and cooperate in the preparation of Latin American bi-vocational and cross-cultural missionaries.
It is an informal continuous training program using internships and mentoring sessions designed individually with the candidate who wishes to use his profession as a mission tool.
HCJB Global recognized in 2009 that the Latin American missionary movement was growing noticeably and that a significant portion of missionaries were going out to serve as bi-vocational workers outside of Latin America and even in the 10-40 window. Therefore, this new generation of Latin missionaries required innovative and specialized training, in accordance with the new challenges and opportunities.
This reality motivated some international and national missions based in Quito, Ecuador, to join together and form a cross-cultural missionary training and mentoring program with an experiential approach. Some of the missions that joined the initiative were: International Missionary Board (IMB), Serving in Missions (SIM), Latin Link , Operation Mobilization (OM), Iberoamerican Missionary Cooperative (COMIBAM), COMEC, Latin American Mission (LAM), World Impact, Ecuadorian Evangelical Missionary Association (AMEE), and Youth with a Mission from Ecuador (YWAM).
