Work and Study Group Opportunities

We are currently seeking groups to help replace the apartments for UBL student couples and small families. The first stage will be to remove reusable and recylable materials from the current structure, shown above. Then, the land will be leveled and graded to correct current drainage problems. After that, construction on a new complex will begin. To see the folder about this project, . Contact Becky Harrell at becky.dap@gmail.com for further information.

The Latin American Biblical University offers opportunities for work and study groups. We receive work teams to help with UBL projects or projects for local churches. We also offer resources for groups that wish to come and learn about Latin America.

• The Central American reality
