The Adventist Private Educational Unit of Santo Domingo in Ecuador inaugurated the School of Missions, which will prepare 60 students to be missionaries. Their goal is to train new generations with a vocation for service.

This event was attended by Pastor Isaí Fernández, Adventist Volunteer Service assistant (SVA) for the country, who explained the project in depth and motivated the teenagers to participate in “Mission Trip,” a program that invites them to serve, build, train and help through a purposeful missionary trip.

This school, inaugurated on June 26, 2024 is part of the Adventist Volunteer Service and will be led by the institutional pastor Marlon Leines, who mentioned, "Our educational institutions must constantly motivate our young people to be fully equipped to serve without borders. Through the School of Missions, the new generations will discover their vocation to service and love for evangelism," he said.
