Argentina Youth Mission Trip
June 15-30, 2026

A Message From Kira And The Team

It’s officially five weeks until our team leaves for Argentina! We’re continuing to spend time in prayer together as a team as we prepare for this trip. Down in Argentina, we’ll have opportunities to connect with three Vineyard churches, build relationships in those churches, and partner with how they reach out in their communities.
During these last few weeks leading up to our trip, we’d love for you to pray for us!
               ⁃             Pray for unity in our team as we work out final preparations and details
               ⁃             Pray for God’s blessing and safety on our travel and stay in Argentina
               ⁃             Pray for God to prepare our hearts and the hearts of the people we’ll meet in Argentina for what He wants to do!
We’d also love if you would consider helping us raise the last bit of financial support we need. Currently we are 93% funded and need $3,000 more to fully fund the rest of this trip. If you’re interested in donating, you can give here: https://universityvineyard.com/give 
Thank you again for partnering with us as we prepare for this trip! We’ll continue to send updates as the trip gets closer and when we’re in Argentina.

Here's the team at an asado.  What is an asado, you may ask?  Well, "the word Asado is a multifunctional term that describes the method of babecuing meat in South America, the meat itself, and the social event associated with the meal".   So here they are enjoying an Argentinian BBQ with La Vina Cordoba!

Today's adventures began with a trip to Lamadrid, Cordoba where our team, alongside La Vina Cordoba, ministered to an impoverished community.  They hosted a gathering for the local children, served  lunch and ministered where needed.   Later that evening, they gathered together for fellowship and worship led by Jenna and Jared.

Well friends,  today's flights to Cordoba were changed and the team missed their flights.  Unfortunately, there are no more flights to Cordoba today.  They are hoping to book a flight tomorrow morning but they will need to figure out accommodations for tonight.  For now, it looks like they are staying the night at the airport.

God is good.  The team was able to stay an extra night at the Air BnB and they were able to book the 9am flight to Cordoba tomorrow morning.
