Steve and Carol Thompson are partners with Heartland and have been missionaries and church planters in Ecuador for over 35 years. Each year, we take a construction team down to help them with construction needs. Every year, it’s a little different, and we’ve had projects that range from building/renovating churches, constructing new buildings at the camp, building furniture, bookshelves, and desks at the seminary to building the new chapel at Chacauco. We would love to have you join us as we prayerfully prepare to take a team once again to be a part of the amazing things God is doing in Ecuador.

This HC Mission team will be working with Heartland’s newly adopted unreached, unengaged people group in Southeast Asia. We will spend time encouraging and training local believers in evangelism and working with them to see their people come to faith in Christ. Due to our partnership with Bardwell Baptist Church and the need for this team to remain small, we will only be able to take 2-3 Heartland Missionaries on this trip.

Though HC Mission teams have worked with Ukrainian orphans for several years now, the ongoing war in Ukraine has forced us to alter our strategy for reaching lost Ukrainians. This Heartland team will partner with Hope for Orphans to host a camp for Orphans inside Ukraine, if the war is over, some other country outside of Ukraine, if it continues. Depending on this, we may end up serving at a camp in Switzerland for Ukrainian refugees, as in years past.

Our Heartland team will be partnering with church-planter Gerald White to help Hope Church Bingham prepare for its annual holiday club (think VBS). The team will have a chance to meet, interact, and share with scheme residents with Gospel conversations. Gerald works with 20 Schemes, a ministry that is working to build healthy, gospel-centered churches in Scotland’s poorest communities through both church planting and revitalization. Space is limited to 6 people.

This Heartland team will work with one of our long-standing partners in Thailand, Pastor Ekkachai and his congregation, to share the Gospel with the Thai Nyaw people group in the villages surrounding Na Wa in Northeast Thailand.

Heartland Church has been working in Myanmar with Pastor Aung Kyaw Moe and his team of church planters and leaders for 15 years.  This trip will involve evangelism in areas where churches are already planted or are being planted, as well as training for church members and leaders on how to effectively evangelize and disciple the people in their communities and villages. We will also have the opportunity to work with a Burmese church plant located in Bangkok, Thailand. Team size will be limited to 6 people.

This will be our 5th year partnering with Heartland missionaries Roberto and Esther Sigcho to serve the people of the Yucatan Peninsula. The team will seek to bring healing and physical relief through medical care, opening the door to address people’s greatest spiritual needs through the Gospel. The team will work directly with El Shaddai Baptist Church in Izamal to reach their local community, as well as a village named Sitilpech where they are planting a church. The construction team will have the opportunity to build something useful for the church. This is truly one of the best mission points for new Heartland missionaries to plug into!
