Answer to Prayer

Evangelicals’ growth is rapidly accelerating. The last 20 years have witnessed significant growth in a country previously very resistant to the gospel. The Evangelical Alliance’s efforts to double the number of congregations between 1998 and 2005 were completed – also doubling the number of believers in the process!

Challenge for Prayer

Expatriate workers are still needed, even though the Uruguayan Church has come into its own. Those who would serve and resource the burgeoning local churches would be valued. Larger missions: SIM, AoG, BWM, BMW. Church planters from other Latin American countries are having success; pray that they, too, would be sensitive to Uruguay’s unique culture and people.
