Mission in the region on the Alto Uruguay

Mission in the region on the Alto Uruguay, Argentina

The ancestors of the people in this region came from Germany, Poland, Russia, the Ukraine, Italy, Estonia, Latvia and other European countries. They settled here, on the upper Uruguay (Alto Uruguay) river, most of them as farmers. They had taken along their Christian traditions but these often got mingled with superstitious beliefs and ignorance. Faith in Christ Jesus was in no way relevant to them nor to their everyday lives. – We had taken into consideration reaching out to the farming population in this region for quite some time. Since the dramatic conversion of Luis Weiss, a poor tobacco farmer, this people group has increasingly caught our attention.

The missionary activities by Pastor Oscar Kunigk have led to the foundation of three mission churches. God has been using Oscar’s ministry: Time and again, there are impressive conversions, a reason for great joy. We intend to continue supporting and promoting these projects.
