Latin America
While Latin America has only 8.6% of the world’s population, it has fifty-two cities of over one million inhabitants. Mexico City and Sao Paulo are two of the world’s largest cities. The last half of the twentieth century saw rapid growth among evangelicals, and especially Pentecostals. Yet, there are many challenges in this region.
Many countries in Latin America face the moral devastation of drug trafficking, political struggles, and widespread poverty. Perhaps the greatest challenge to the development of a healthy, mature Church is the need for discipleship, church unity, and biblical response to social and economic injustices. Our teams are working in youth ministry to train next generation leaders, reaching out to the poor and abandoned, pioneering new churches and looking to develop micro business.
