Latin America
Latin America’s cities have a growing percentage of people who are highly educated and globally connected. They are postmodern, post-Christian, and secular in perspective. And while there are many reports of widespread growth in churches in Latin America, nearly all of it is among the less educated and less affluent groups of people. Christian Hooft, an Argentine lawyer and member of the largest fraternity of Argentine pastors, told us, “There is a new generation of young people in Buenos Aires who think totally differently, and our current churches are challenged as to how to reach them.”
Christian Associates in Latin America is passionately seeking to extend God’s kingdom, especially among the more educated people of the region. The goal is to invite these people into a relationship with Jesus, involve them in meaningful Christian community, and engage them in addressing the needs of the poor and marginalized that are prevalent in their countries. We want to see a vibrant, reproducing, kingdom-extending movement of churches in every major city of Latin America.
