Andrea Tinsley lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina, serving on staff at the Harbor as the resident director. The Harbor provides dorm-like housing for emerging Christian leaders from Latin America who study at the University of Buenos Aires. Students receive pastoral care, spiritual formation, leadership training and hands-on ministry experience to connect career and ministry. Before moving to Argentina in early 2023, Andrea lived in Medellin, Colombia, where she studied Spanish and worked as the Latin America Area communications liaison. She is an ordained elder in the New South Conference and a veteran youth pastor. Andrea utilizes her passion for youth and young adults as a resident director while continuing to serve the area in communications and through the Latin America Area Third Culture Kid (TCK) care team.
Pray For
- continued Spanish learning and cultural adaptation
- deepening of relationships and community building at The Harbor
- potential new students at The Harbor
- solid and vibrant relationships between the churches in Latin America and the U.S.
