Chile is a high-income economy with high living standards. It is among South America's most economically and socially stable and prosperous countries. It has a population of more than 17 million people, with about 85 percent living in urban areas. Childe is the most evangelical nation in Latin America, but as with the majority of college students around the globe, most have a nominal faith, at best.
El Oasis is the Globalscope campus ministry in Chile, with teams in Santiago and Viña del Mar. The El Oasis campus minsters create open communities where students can explore faith. They try to model authentic Christian living and engage students in conversations about what it means to follow Christ.
The Globalscope Chile team’s goal is to make El Oasis “the place to be” for college students almost any day of the week. The ministry seeks to touch the students’ lives both physically and spiritually. Campus ministers, teamed with interns and U.S. exchange students, host a variety of activities designed to promote community and an introduction to Jesus Christ.
