Project ID: UY0001-66001
LCMS efforts in Uruguay, known as South America’s most atheistic nation, began among German and Slovenian immigrants in the 1930s. Current team efforts consist of a sole local parish pastor. The Lutheran landscape is a mix of urban, rural, and school ministries.
Nearby St. Paul Lutheran School is a mission opportunity with its 1000+ enrollment. All grade levels receive catechism instruction.
Worship facilities were dedicated in 2022 in Salto, Uruguay’s second-largest city, and in Chapicuy. Each site is home to a fledgling group of Lutherans. In addition, outreach is beginning in Paysandú in northern Uruguay.
We pray that the Lord will continue to provide church workers and missionaries and bless the work in this challenging field.
