Opportunity Details

Rionegro is located just outside Medellin, the second largest city in Colombia. The people of this region are called “paisas” and are known for their strong work ethic, entrepreneurial spirit, and vibrant culture. Roman Catholicism is the primary religion, but it’s common to find that many (especially younger Colombians) have left Roman Catholicism but are interested to know more about Christianity. This presents a unique opportunity to minister to college students through relational ministry, and so we are excited that Rionegro has been added as an RUF-Global site.

The team has been serving students since 2022 and the ministry has seen increasing student involvement with the help of RUF interns.  Still, a pastor is needed to develop this ministry further. We are looking for a campus minister to serve this RUF-Global location, primarily at the University of Antioquia, Oriente campus.

An ideal candidate should sense a call to serve in campus ministry in Latin America and either be ordained in the PCA or in process to become ordained. Knowing/learning Spanish will be a must. There will also be many opportunities to serve in the local church plant alongside the MTW team.
