• Mission's vision has rapidly grown and matured in Latin America.

• The Latin American AG Nations are sending over 2000 Missionaries to many nations around the world.

Unity In Diversity

God loves diversity. Some like pizza some like pasta; that’s how God has created us. The enemy of Indigenous and spontaneous church growth is "sameness." Our call is not to make everyone like us; but rather like Christ. South America has one of the world’s most diverse populations, famous for celebrating differences rather than seeking to conform to them. Pray today that God gives you a greater ability to rejoice in all He has made, to learn from others as they learn through us.

Prayer Points:

• Thank the Lord for all the lives transformed and communities changed.
• Pray for revival across Central and South America. For believers to desire a deeper knowledge of the Bible. For the true Gospel to be known and shared.
• Pray for the pastors and leaders of these countries. Pray for wisdom as they lead churches, make disciples and evangelise. Pray for church leaders to exemplify Christlikeness, love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
• Pray for the Church to saturate the nations of South America with Christian values.
