The need for Christ in Argentina and the surrounding region is greater than most statistics show. There is much confusion in South America.
Thousands of towns exist that do not have a Bible-centered fellowship, and there is an increasing mentality towards post-modernism and the occult. The people are distraught. They are like sheep without the true Shepherd. Cults are reaching many people who are looking for a place to belong.
There is a great potential to reach unbelievers in Argentina, disciple them, train them, and send them out to bordering countries and around the world.
We are targeting Cordoba, Argentina, a city of 3 million people, which is located in the center of the country.
