Southern Cone Initiative
The Southern Cone Initiative targets the least-reached areas of South America. This initiative focuses on the country of Uruguay, the southernmost states of Brazil, and parts of northern Argentina. It also includes the Quechua People group, found in the countries of Peru, Bolivia, and northern Argentina. We are asking God for a gospel movement in every metropolitan region with over one million people in Argentina, Uruguay and Southern Brazil in our generation.
Goals
- Position Converge to engage the Quechua people group in Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina
- See beginning stages of gospel movements in Montevideo, Southern Brazil and northern Argentina
Bajio Initiative
The Bajio Initiative targets a five-state region in Central Mexico which is 2.5 percent - 3.5 percent evangelical. While much of Mexico has seen a better response to the gospel, the region surrounding Guadalajara, the second largest city in Mexico, has been resistant to the gospel.
Goals
- See beginning stages of a multiplying gospel movement in the Bajio region.
- Work with evangelical movement leaders in this region to assist them in sending missionaries to the unreached and unengaged people groups in Mexico.
Guadalajara, Mexico
Opportunities for ministry in Guadalajara include children’s ministries in two local Mexican church children’s programs and women’s ministries such as MOPS and working with Mexican pastors’ wives.
Latin America Regional Impact Team
The Latin America Regional Impact Team seeks to come alongside partners in Latin America and the Caribbean to resource and assist them in building and strengthening gospel movements among the least-reached people groups in Latin America and around the world. It seeks to tap into the passion of the existing Latin America church to see gospel movements developed around the world.
Goals
- Work with high-capacity leaders in Latin America, assisting them to see movements in which they raise up disciple-makers who, in turn, train disciple-makers
- Work with evangelical movement leaders in Latin America to recruit, resource and train global workers who will go to least-reached people groups in Latin America and around the world
- Identify specialists who can work across national boundaries and who can come alongside national partners to help resource them in areas where they are requesting assistance
