Dear prospective Spanish Institute student:
Thank you for your interest in Spanish training and ministry. The Institute consists of two months in Guatemala—the first of which consists of partial immersion with extensive team ministry while the second month features total immersion with the level of ministry largely determined by the student.
➢ Month 1, Partial Immersion—Primary Elements:
o Spanish Instruction
▪ Students will enroll in college-level classes (Spanish 102 or above) that they will take during their first month in Guatemala.
▪ These classes will feature the vocabulary and grammatical structures typically confronted in the Guatemalan culture, with particular training in the Plan of Salvation, personal testimony and other elements directly related to ministry in Spanish-speaking countries.
o Ministry such as the following:
▪ Medical clinic
▪ Orphanage
▪ Christian school
▪ Evangelistic programs:
• In churches
• In schools
• In parks and on street corners
• In poor villages while also sharing food and medicine
▪ Painting homes in poor villages
▪ Home construction in poor villages
▪ Church building construction
➢ Month 2, Total Immersion—Primary Elements:
o Home stays with families who only speak Spanish
o Work and/or ministry designed to aid in fluency
Please take a few moments right now to review this material, and then promptly complete the information forms and return them today. We thank you for your sincere commitment to developing the language and ministry skills necessary to reach the lost of Guatemala.

LIBERTY UNIVERSITY SPANISH INSTITUTE CAMPAIGN POLICY AGREEMENT
I realize that the following elements are crucial to the effectiveness, quality, and safety of our
campaign together. As a member of the campaign team, I agree to:
1. Remember that I am a guest working at the invitation of a local missionary or pastor.
2. Remember that I have come to learn, not to teach. I may run across procedures that I feel are
inefficient, or attitudes that I find closed minded. I’ll resist the temptation to inform our hosts
about, “how I do things.” I’ll be open to learning other people’s methods and ideas.
3. Respect the host’s view of Christianity. I recognize that Christianity has many faces
throughout the world, and that the purpose of this trip is to witness and experience faith lived
out in a new setting.
4. Develop and maintain a servant’s attitude toward all nationals and my teammates.
5. Respect my team leader(s) and his or her decisions.
6. Refrain from gossip. I may be surprised at how each person will blossom when freed from the
concern that others may be passing judgment.
7. Refrain from complaining. I know that travel can present numerous unexpected and undesired
circumstances, but the rewards of conquering such circumstances are innumerable. I’ll try to
be creative and supportive.
8. Respect the work that is going on in the country with the particular church, agency, or
person(s) with whom we are working I realize that our team is here for just a short while, but
that the missionary and local church are here for the long term. I will respect their knowledge,
insight, and instructions.
9. Refrain from negative political comments or hostile discussions concerning our host country’s
politics.
10. Remember not to be exclusive in my relationships. If my sweetheart or spouse is on the team,
we will make every effort to interact with all members of the team, not just one another.
11. Refrain from any activity that could be construed as romantic interest toward a national. I
realize certain activities that seem innocuous in my own culture may seem inappropriate in
others.
12. Abstain from the consumption of alcoholic beverages or the use of tobacco/illegal drugs
while on the trip, this policy works in conjunction with adherence to the entire Liberty Way.
I hereby understand that The Institute reserves the right to take the necessary action if I do not comply to this policy agreement.
