One site ranks Buenos Aires as the 10th most populated urban area in the world, another site at 15th. I didn't return home until a week later, so I had plenty of time to walk the streets, pray, and to try to learn about this mission field. I had the honor of sharing in one church and preaching in another on my only Sunday there. I was able to pass out tracts, witness, and make some good contacts. God let me meet a dear preacher and his family who are trying to plant a church in a poor neighborhood of Buenos Aires. They want to study in the classes that we have been offering to those here in Colombia and plan to offer in Argentina. I also made the three and a half hour trip into Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay. In both countries I saw a dearth of good churches and as far as I know there is an absence of any holiness churches who would be happy to identify with our preaching of heart holiness.

Wow, Phillip! Seeing this picture, and reading your comments about this mission field, sure makes me wish I could go to Argentina with you for a visit. It is wonderful that you were able to survey this country before heading back to the States.
The world is such a vast and ripe harvest field; and the fruit is rotting for want of workers.
I hope and pray that Jesus will help you in your endeavors in that area of South America.
Love,
