LATIN AMERICA

The Acts 29 Latin America Network spans from Mexico to Brazil in a region consists of over 600 million people, 35 countries, and five different main languages.

About

There are more than 50 partner churches in the Latin American network including churches in Guatemala, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador, among others. There are also many other churches associated with our work who are in the process of becoming members.

The Network has many different ways of training pastors and church planters, including the online platform plantadores.org.

Join us in prayer that the Gospel would continue to bear fruit in Latin America as we seek to plant healthy churches centered on Jesus.
