Even in Chile, the North is considered rugged and difficult, and the South is wealthier and easier.
The Chileans consider Santiago, where we are, the South, and they do mission trips from here to the North.
The city of Santiago, 7 million people, stretches for 10 km in all directions from this hilltop. Most of the Vineyard Churches in Brazil are in or near this city, though some pastors traveled four hours or more to come to the church-planting conference.
