The Land of Silver: Argentina
Map It Monday:
Today we place a map of Argentina on our refrigerator to pray for these people throughout the week.
Our Prayer:
"Lord, what a beautiful country you have made in Argentina. It truly does shine like silver. Please hear our prayers for the people of Argentina and lead them out of darkness and into Your marvelous Light. We know that You came to die so that the people of Argentina might believe and be saved. Amen."
Stats and Facts Tuesday:
Latin America’s second largest country, with a great range of climate, rainfall and topography. The 16,300 sq km Islas Malvinas (Falkland Islands) are claimed by Argentina but remain under British rule. There is one federal district and 23 provinces.
The official language is Spanish. A mostly Catholic nation, but that is changing.
Challenge for Prayer
Behind Argentina’s sophistication and postmodern façade lie intense spiritual struggles for souls. The low-key but widespread influence of the occult (Western and Latin expressions), one of the world’s highest Mormon populations and the growing Muslim population all vie for souls with postmodern agnosticism, hedonistic lifestyles and Christianity. Spiritism’s hidden currents strongly influence far more people than will openly identify with such groups. Past battles were won through intercession; pray for protection and continued spiritual health for all in the forefront of the battle. (all above information taken from Operation

Walk in My Shoes Wednesday:
Today we read the testimony church planter and pastor, Nicholas Serrano.
Our Prayer:
"Dear Lord, we are amazed by Your saving grace in Pastor Serrano's life. We rejoice that you are using his life to plant a church and to pastor a church in Rosario, Argentina. O God, please fill this young pastor with your Spirit to obediently preach the gospel to the lost and to the church in Rosario. Give him all that he requires to do Your will. Continue to make the Word of God come alive to him as he studies and preaches. Bless this church, in Jesus' name, Amen.
Take Action Thursday:
Today we are going to make some empanadas!! As we cook and enjoy eating this traditional Argentinian food for lunch today, we will stop and pray for Argentina.
Our Prayer:
"Lord, You are so kind and compassionate. You do not give to us as our sins deserve, but love to show us loving kindness. Jesus, be loving, kind, merciful, and gracious to Argentina today. We ask that the church in Argentina would grow and flourish. Amen"
