The ARRIBA! program allows independent Baptist undergraduate students to study and minister for nearly a year under actual mission field conditions. Participants arrive in Lima, Peru, in the early summer and begin studying conversational Spanish with individual tutors. They are also introduced to the Peruvian culture in practical ways. The following months are spent in a concentrated but balanced blend of relevant academic studies (in English) and missionary work (in Spanish) under the guidance of godly professors, missionaries, and national leaders. The ARRIBA! program includes all aspects of church planting, student evangelism, discipling, literature distribution, and several educational/recreational field trips.
