Hundreds of philosophies, teaching and lifestyles compete for the hearts and minds of Latin American children and consequently affect their everyday decisions. At EGM in Latin America, we strive to show these children that answers to their questions and concerns lay in the Scriptures and through the love of Jesus Christ. We want children and their families to know and love Jesus, and to see that the Bible is not just a collection of stories but a manual for their lives.

Description

The launching of the ministry in Chile, immediately opened a flood gate of interest in having EGM work in other Latin American countries. Latin America has experienced widespread spiritual revival and much of that growth has occurred with children and young families. Every Generation Ministries is working to equip churches on a worldwide basis for effective ministry with children and their families. Over the last six months we have been contacted by church leaders in Argentina, Peru, Honduras and Mexico regarding the possibility of starting an EGM ministry in their country. The New Ministries – Latin America will allow us to conduct research in two of those countries for the purpose of determining the feasibility of launching new ministry.

EGM will prayerfully consider work in two of the following countries in 2005-2006. The potential impact is as follows:

Goals

The New Ministries – Latin America project will allow EGM to:

1. Conduct research and develop an EGM profile of two targeted countries including population statistics, church growth, key church data, key leaders, significant spiritual centers, population and church demographics, children’s ministry materials evaluation, children’s ministry needs assessment.
2. Organize four children’s workers in two targeted countries to develop a network of contacts and expose children’s workers in local churches to the EGM philosophy of

   

   ministry.
3. Organize sixteen meetings in two countries with church leaders (pastors, Sunday School teachers, denominational leaders, children’s workers, etc..) to assess the needs of their churches in terms of children’s ministry.
4. Establish a database of contacts in two countries including pastors, teachers, other

    

   children’s workers, potential Board members and potential staff members.
