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. We have been contacted by church leaders in Argentina, Peru, Honduras and Mexico regarding the possibility of starting an EGM ministry in their country. We are currently beginning ministries in the following countries:  Argentina, Mexico, and Peru. 

The impact of these new ministries is as follows:

Goals

These new ministries in Latin America have begun to accomplish the following goals in preperation to establish fully functioning ministries:

(complete in all three countries)
