Offering training and development opportunities

Amplifying voices

Advocating for systemic changes

Providing logistical infrastructure

Our Vision

We want to see a strong, thriving indigenous Church in the Amazon & Lowland Regions of South America fulfilling the Great Commission – discipling indigenous believers and reaching unreached people groups with the transformational message of the Gospel.

Training Youth Raising Up the Next Generation.

Core Values

Cooperation Oriented

We respect, mobilize, and cultivate healthy relationships with each missionary force of the Three Waves Movement in the Amazon region- the tribal church, Latin National church, and foreign missionaries.

We strive to engage catalytic partnerships and networks, to intentionally unite under mutual goals & common objectives, and to comprehend and enjoy our need for diversity in the body of Christ.

Indigenous Driven

We honor the voice of indigenous leadership and strive to promote their sense of God’s vision and dreams for their nations.

We support initiatives that are sustainable and culturally appropriate within the indigenous context.

Great Commission Focused

We facilitate training and advocate for equipping indigenous believers in the local tribal church to make disciples of Jesus across the Amazon and Lowland Regions of South America.

We pursue holistic progress that values spiritual growth alongside livelihood issues.

Our Beliefs

We hold firmly to the good news of Jesus Christ while recognizing that faithful Christians may differ on some teachings and practices.

Too often, denominational differences in the Amazon create barriers between Christians and limit opportunities for mutual encouragement and partnership. We believe Christians more fully reflect the Gospel when they work together. Therefore, we seek to build trust and foster cooperation among those who share a vision of people from every tribe and nation worshiping Jesus as Lord.

Alteco is interdenominational. We gladly partner with Christians from various denominations who share core convictions. We pursue unity without setting aside biblical truth.
