Chile is located in Southern South America, bordering the South Pacific Ocean, between Argentina and Peru.
Chile suffered 17 years of a repressive military regime and has returned to a “democratic” government closely monitored by the military. Its recent economic success has benefitted only a small segment, leaving large population sectors pushed to the outskirts of large cities. The ghost of the military regime is still haunting the country. The impunity of those who violated human rights for almost two decades has been an issue of justice that still keeps the wounds open for many Chileans.
Pray for:
- The Shalom Ministry of the Pentecostal Church of Chile develops a program that will provide leadership in the reconciliation of this country.
- The theological education programs provide training to leaders of the Pentecostal Church of Chile and other Protestant churches in the country through the Theological Evangelical Community of Chile.
