Between October 24 and 26, 2024, the Fe Chile Ministry visited various towns in the Northern Chile Association (ANCh). During their visits, they trained and motivated Adventist entrepreneurs and professionals to strengthen their missionary impact. This visit sought to get closer to the local reality and promote projects that support the careers and businesses of church members, inspiring many to dedicate their talents to God's mission.
Fe Chile, along with the Manos a la Obra (Get Down to Work) ministry and the regional Adventist Church administration, visited the site of the first Adventist Church in San Pedro de Atacama, which will have its own land. During the visit, Ingrid Fuentes, president of Fe Chile, said, “We thank the ANCh administration for opening this space to discuss how, from the mission, we can put our gifts and our lives into the work of God. Fe Chile guides this missionary vision and seeks companions who, with what they have, serve the Lord.”

The Fe Chile team also visited churches in Antofagasta and held the workshop Expande tus Talentos (Expand your Talents). There, Adventist professionals and entrepreneurs shared the desire to integrate their careers and entrepreneurship into missionary work.
“It inspired me deeply. I have wanted to use my gifts in God’s work for a long time. Now I feel more intentional and motivated to take the next step and strengthen my abilities. This meeting encouraged me a lot, and I hope to continue moving forward with the support of this group,” said Lizza Reyes, a participating psychologist.
Fe Chile aims to highlight professional initiatives and Adventist ventures that promote the preaching of the gospel. This effort aligns with the church's mission to bring Christ to more people.
César Montecinos, president of ANCh, said, “We had an important meeting with part of the Fe Chile team, especially to learn about the work that this foundation does in our country and the valuable support they provide to the preaching of the gospel.”

The 5th Fe Chile Meeting will be held on November 22 and 23 with the aim of starting or strengthening a ministry to support the mission of the Church.
