OVERVIEW: Rostro de Cristo (face of Christ in Spanish) is a year long service program in Guayaquil, Ecuador. We have a wide variety of service opportunities but our main mission is to be present with our neighbors, to live in solidarity with them, and to be the face of Christ for them and each other. Rostro de Cristo also hosts and mentors mission-immersion experiences for 7-10 days for high school and college students.
