Ministry Description

I am going to Argentina to teach English at Palabra De Vida's Christian School and to assist with their Bilingual Bible Program for college students. While I am there I will also be finishing my degree, which focuses on education and next-gen ministries. As I teach English in the school, I will not only be helping the students with their education but it will also allow me to share the Gospel with them! When I am not teaching in the school, I will be helping with the Bilingual Bible Program (BBP). The BBP consists of students from non-Spanish-speaking countries who want to come to Argentina to learn Spanish and to learn more about the Bible. Because I am from the USA and many of the BBP students are also from the USA, I will be able to help them as they adapt to a new country/culture and to disciple the girls within the program. I am very excited for the opportunity I have to not only teach children in the elementary school but to also pour into other young adults as they grow in their faith. These are the main things I will be assisting with while in Argentina, but I also look forward to serving in any capacity I can and helping every person take their next step with Jesus.

About Tara

I grew up in a home that loved the Lord and was very dedicated to Him, and I am so thankful for that! At the age of seven, I made the decision to accept Christ's salvation for myself and give Him my heart and my life. As I grew older, I encountered sin and difficulty in various ways but was always brought back to the truth of the Gospel and God's plan and desire for my life. In 2022 I decided to attend the Word of Life Bible Institute in order to further my relationship with God and my understanding of the Bible. I spent two years in-depth studying the Bible and also growing in my personal walk with Christ through discipleship, chapels, and a variety of ministry opportunities. This led me to the end of my second year at the Bible Institute, when I attended a missions conference and then went on a missions trip to Argentina. During that time I felt God change my ideas and plans for my future and felt Him calling me to be part of Word of Life's Cross-Cultural Internship in Argentina. I have always loved people, specifically children - young adults, and going to Argentina will allow me to serve God and others in a way that uses my gifts/talents and my passions! I am very excited for this next season in my life and to see all that God does in and through it.

"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." Colossians 2:6-7
