BIMI has had a missionary presence in Argentina since 1979. The capital, Buenos Aires, was the first location of BIMI missionary activity. With a present population of over 13 million people, including a large Jewish community, Buenos Aires is one of the neediest and most challenging mission fields in South America. Missionaries who welcome the challenge of working in a metropolitan setting are needed to help reach this cosmopolitan city.

The other area of Argentina where we currently have BIMI missionaries working is the city of San Miguel de Tucumán, in the northern part of the country. In addition to planting a thriving local church, our missionaries have founded a Bible School which is being greatly used of God to prepare not only Argentines, but young men and women from several other South American countries, for full time Christian service.

The main emphasis of the missionaries in Argentina is evangelism, including Jewish evangelism, and church planting. Camp ministries have also been extremely helpful in reaching the youth. Our goal is to double our missionary presence in Argentina in this next decade.
