Harry & Jen Paul: 180 Salvations in Chile

Harry and Jen Paul are not professional missionaries in the traditional sense. They are Canadian believers who said yes to a call that took them to Chile — a country with deep Catholic roots and growing evangelical presence, but also significant spiritual need.

The trip was not a vacation with a few prayer meetings attached. It was a focused missions effort that covered multiple fronts: school visits, street evangelism, community gatherings, and outreach to indigenous populations.

The numbers tell part of the story. One hundred and eighty people made a decision for Christ. Eight thousand scriptures were distributed. Healings were reported. These are not vague claims — they are the documented outcomes of a team that went with intention, preparation, and faith.

What makes Harry and Jen's story particularly relevant is the breadth of their approach. They did not just preach. They entered schools. They walked streets. They engaged indigenous communities that are often overlooked by both government and church. That kind of comprehensive outreach requires cultural sensitivity, logistical planning, and genuine love for people.

The Chile trip also connects to a broader pattern in Harry and Jen's lives. They have also led missions to Sri Lanka, where they partnered with 15 local churches and saw a Buddhist driver come to faith. Their missions work is not a one-time event. It is a lifestyle.

For marketplace leaders, Harry and Jen's story demonstrates that missions is not reserved for full-time clergy. It is accessible to anyone willing to go. The skills that make someone effective in business — planning, communication, resource management, cultural awareness — are the same skills that make someone effective on a missions trip. The only additional requirement is obedience.
