Challenges for Prayer

The missionary vision of the national Church is growing and maturing – and it possesses great potential to make Argentina a major sending nation. A number of Argentineans are internationally respected mission leaders. La Red Misiones Mundiales (part of COMIBAM) has played a major interdenominational role in networking agencies, training centres and churches as well as stimulating and facilitating the vision for missions. The Centro de Entrenamiento and RAIM have been doing excellent work in mission mobilization. The Argentinean missions movement has set ambitious goals in terms of mobilizing churches, generating finance and sending workers. Pray that pastors and churches may gain a vision for the unreached peoples of the world.
Expatriate mission agencies have a continuing role in Bible teaching, mobilizing for mission, reaching minority groups and developing holistic ministries through partnership with national agencies and churches. Pray that expatriate Christian workers might partner well with the strong national Church to see society fully reached and touched by the gospel.
