The Place
We are asking God for a gospel movement in every least-reached community of the Southern Cone in our generation.
We define the Southern Cone as a geographic region in South America located east of the Andes Mountains and south of the Tropic of Capricorn that encompasses Argentina, Uruguay, and Southern Brazil, whose people are primarily of European descent and who are considered to be mostly least-reached.

The Impact
The Impact
Our primary ministry focus is to develop transformational leaders. We believe that through strong and capable leaders, we will see the planting of new churches and the revitalization of existing ones, ultimately building capacity for more church planting. Since 2020, over two thousand leaders have participated in our workshops and cohorts. From these, we have gathered 48 leaders who share a collective vision for gospel advancement in their regions, resulting in the planting of 28 new churches.
