Each year, Briarcrest High School partners with Orphanos Foundation of Memphis in our trip to Quito, Ecuador. While in Ecuador, we work with a local school, Montebello Academy. Our students and teacher leaders serve the community through various ministry opportunities. One of the highlights of this trip is facilitating vacation bible schools to local children in a community near the site of Jim and Elisabeth Elliot is evangelization of the Huaorani people in "Operation Auca".
