Argentina
Metro Big Band
December 9 - 19, 2026
Buenos Aires, Argentina
From Our Mission Partners:
The Baptist Seminary (SITB) has been ministering for 110 years. For most of that time, we have worked with a music training program. Over the last 21 years, we have developed a degree program for professional musicians and music teachers. We understand that music is a vehicle for communicating the gospel message to society.
Your support would enable us to once again impact our community with the musical excellence of a Christian Big Band. Very few have come to our country, and Argentinians greatly appreciate music, especially in anticipation of Christmas.
The experience we had in September 2025 when the Celebration Orchestra visited us was a great blessing, not only for my life but also for the community we represent at the Seminary. They left a great impression in terms of their example of service, dedication, and musical professionalism. This made many people regret not having set aside time to share with you, and they hope to do so soon.
Wherever you went, your testimony and memory were significant, especially since many of our students had never seen an orchestra before, and it was very important for our music school.
The master classes, the performances with the Seminary choir, and the donation of instruments (which is still in process) have left a very big impression. We give glory to God for your lives, your dedication, and for being part of this blessing of knowing you and being able to welcome you again.
This project will be led by Camp Kirkland.

GET ANSWERS
Have a Question?
-
We get it. You love playing your instrument or singing in the choir and want to do more with your gift. But how? That's where we come in.
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to use their God-given talent to serve the Lord. We take teams of choirs, orchestras, and jazz bands around the world to share the good news of Jesus.
-
Music is connecting. No matter the language of a song, it's the music that binds people together.[Our projects consist of evangelistic concerts with the gospel interwoven between songs.
In many countries we have the opportunity to play music in conjunction with local musicians. We also serve by teaching music and sharing our testimonies with others.
-
In fact, we DO need you! God has a special plan for your life that includes using you to minister to others.
-
Nope. You sure don't! That's why we exist - to form teams comprised of individuals that have a heart for missions and want to serve the Lord through music.
Find a project and hop on board!
-
Of course! In fact, we encourage it! We can always use an extra set of hands and a smiling face :)
-
Typically, as long as you have at least 4 years of playing experience, you're good! However, we may ask about prior playing experience to help us assign music parts.
-
Typically the music is sent out one month before the project. Once we land in the country we're going to, we'll have one rehearsal, then we're off and running!
-
For instruments that aren't airplane friendly (tuba, upright bass, etc), we can usually rent them in the country we're going to. Let us know which project you're interested in and we'll help work it out!
-
Almost the whole kit and caboodle! The project cost includes air transportation, transportation within the country, accommodations, one meal per day, sightseeing excursions, and insurance on yourself and your instrument.
The project cost does not include an entry visa (if applicable), a US passport, domestic travel to the airport, and two meals per day.
-
You can, but you don't have to! On average, each project is broken into 4 or 5 payments with an average of 2-3 months between payments.
-
Stepping out in faith is an important part of going! There are many ways to raise support - sending a support letter to friends and family, asking your church for support, forgoing that $5 drink from Starbucks, having a garage sale, and most importantly through prayer! God doesn't just call you to go, He also provides for you.
-
They are! We are a 501c3 which makes your donations tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. You can deduct your project cost in addition to any other expenses accrued during travel.
-
We always include excursions to learn about the culture of the country. However, our goal is missions, so that will be the main focus of the project!
