Answer to Prayer
Missions vision has rapidly grown and matured in Latin America. The 1987 COMIBAM conference in São Paulo, Brazil, generated continent-wide interest and sparked numerous initiatives to reach the unreached. At that time, there were around 60 agencies with 1,600 missionaries. Today, there are over 400 agencies representing more than 10,000 missionaries! An increasing proportion serve outside Latin America and in the unevangelized world. Major sending nations are Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Peru, but missionary sending structures are developing in most lands. Quite apart from this are the thousands who serve God abroad as economic migrants or deliberate tentmakers.For an additional 9 Answers to Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.

Challenge for Prayer
Widespread human need exists, even in these relatively stable and affluent continents. Economic poverty is the most obvious, having been a defining factor for decades in the political and even theological developments in Latin America. But lack of education and literacy, health issues, lack of clean water and sanitation, and persistent urban violence and crime all continue to plague much of the region. The Caribbean has the highest murder rate of any region in the world. While democratic government continues to take root, in many countries it is a fledgling and needs both integrity by leaders and committed endurance by the population.For an additional 4 Challenges for Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.
