There are over 100,000 university students in the city of Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Many young adults flock to Bolivia’s largest city for post-secondary education in hopes of bettering their status in society and finding a good job for their future. These university students are open to the gospel and searching for their place and value in the world. The University ministry leader will be a person with a passion for discipleship and college students and will use whatever skills and passions they have as a platform to engage with students. Missionaries with ESL or sports backgrounds have the easiest in-roads with the students. Many volunteers are often asked to become part-time professors or TAs in English classrooms at the university level. The University Ministry leader will schedule meet-ups or hangouts with college kids at local cafes, parks, and plazas as well as evening events for English conversation or discipleship. The duration of this role will be from 9 months to 2 years or more.
