Do you want to invest your Spring Break reaching students in Guayaquil, Ecuador, Chicago Metro’s new overseas partnership? On these trips you’ll have the opportunity to share your faith with students at the Universidad de Guayaquil, a campus with over 80,000 students. From a recent trip to Ecuador we can tell you that students on this campus are extremely open to the Gospel. You’ll also have the chance to experience Ecuadorian culture and all that Guayaquil has to offer.
There will be two groups of students and staff from Chicago going to Ecuador, the first from March 14th – 20th, and the second from March 21st – 27th. The cost for both trips is $1450. It includes flight, hotel, food, in country transportation, and SOS/Medical Insurance. You can register for the trip using the links below. The registration also serves as your application for the trip. A $200 deposit is required for your application to be reviewed. In the event that you are not accepted on the trip, your $200 will be refunded within 3 business days. Your deposit is not refundable for any reason other than that you are not accepted on the trip.
The deadline to fill out the application and pay the deposit is February 17th. The deposit counts toward the total payment for the trip. If your deposit is paid with personal funds it can be refunded later if enough support is raised.
We hope to let you know of your acceptance status within three days of your registration/application. If you are interested in going please apply as soon as you can so that we can have accurate information in terms of numbers (which helps us plan well and keep costs low), so that you have time to discuss the trip with your parents, and so that you have as much time as possible to raise support for the trip. Resources to help you with your support raising will be made available upon your acceptance.
