Church Planting, Argentina

At home, Eduardo was taught that Christianity was just a religion. When he was fifteen years old, he assisted at a musical activity where he heard the gospel in a clear way for the first time and received Christ as his personal Savior. He studied the Word of God each day, and after three years decided to study at a Bible Institute. It was there that he heard God’s call for his life, to serve Him by planting churches. For more than forty years, Eduardo has been doing this all across Argentina. He has taught church planting at Word of Life Bible Institute in Buenos Aires and mentored many young pastors. Eduardo started Ministerio de Fundacion Iglesias to facilitate his work, and in 2009 began the Pastor’s Training Institute in Buenos Aires.
