I'm excited for Argentina
So I feel like not a ton of people know Jesus in Argentina. In a sense, this is a good thing, in the particular way that people don't know Jesus. In my opinion and from my observations, I feel like Argentina is more like the Wild Wild West when it comes to individual's personal salvation and knowing Jesus. I think that people just haven't had the chance to experience Jesus in the first place, thus creating a kind of new frontier.
In the states, I feel like more people have, for some reason or another, turned away from Jesus or have a hindrance in their life blocking their salvation through Christ. Maybe it's publicized high-profile pastor scandals, maybe it's internal church conflict, maybe it's greater affluence that gives more false senses of fulfillment, or maybe because Jesus has been twisted by many for their own personal gain.
My point is that I feel like presenting Jesus to an Argentine, you are starting from ground zero, and can build up from there. In presenting Jesus to an American, more often than not you must first break down walls, and then build up. I'm not saying at all that one is more worthy than the other in terms of who should be sought after. The key for Argentina is to have organizations or worship groups or churches that present the authentic Jesus, right from the beginning. I know it can be done.
I'm excited for Argentina.
