The Purpose of the Prayer Guide
The purpose of this prayer guide is to provide churches and followers of Christ with a tool to
mobilize prayer for Buenos Aires, Argentina. Each church and believer can use the guide as they
feel led. Our prayer is that God would save many people, these people become true disciples of
Christ, the existing churches would be healthy and growing, new works would be opened in the
city, and God be glorified.
If you have any questions, you can contact us via facebook by “liking” Mission Buenos Aires,
“follow” us on twitter @MissionBA, or email us [email protected].
The International Mission Board Megacity Team for Buenos Aires has completed the research
found in this document. The prayer requests are provided by local leaders ministering in each
particular comuna (a specific geographical area of the city).

Day 21: International Missions Global population: 7,200,000,000 Argentina not only receives missionaries, but sends missionaries as well. Argentine missionaries are serving in many different nations of the world. In Matthew 28:19 Jesus said “Go and make disciples of all Nations…” The word Jesus used for Nation was “ethne,” which means ethnic group, or a people group. So the command is to go to all people groups and share the Gospel with them. There are 16,590 people groups in the world, and 7,163 of them are unreached with the Gospel. There are 6,000 languages in the world and 1,967 of these languages don’t have any portion of the Bible translated into their language. Our continued challenge as a church is to reach these people. How? Through prayer, financial sacrifices, and sending more missionaries. Prayer requests 1. Pray for the more than 700 Argentine missionaries in the world, especially those working among the least reached people groups. (Ephesians 6:19) 2. Pray that we recapture the importance of missions, and that we see the urgent spiritual need of salvation in our neighbors, our communities, our country and the world (Acts 1:8) 3. Pray for the 4-­‐14 window. Studies show that most believers decide to follow Christ between the ages of 4 and 14. We as Christians should focus on presenting this group with the gospel all over the world. (Proverbs 22:6 and II Timothy 3:15) 4. 13% of the Argentine population claims to be an “evangelical Christian” (according to the 2010 census). Pray that the Argentine Church can have a global vision to redeem the lost and present the message of Christ to all peoples. (Romans 10:14-­‐15)
