The Montevideo Ministry Training Center will strengthen and encourage the church of Uruguay. In the most secularized nation of Latin America, the Uruguayan church faces many challenges. Comprising less than five percent of the population, it is small and often divided by denominationalism. However, it is growing, and the society's increased interest in the transcendent is giving the church more opportunities to share the message of Christ.

A Dream to Strengthen the Church

The SIM Uruguay team is establishing a training facility where Christians can come together to be encouraged and equipped to reach out to their secularized society and to the world.

This project is for the construction of a ministry and training facility on a property that SIM Uruguay currently owns. It is in a prime location, just inside the limits of the capital city of Montevideo. The property is a beautiful piece of land where people can come away from the city to be with God and His people.

A Place to Learn and to Grow

The Montevideo Ministry Training Center will provide a broad range of programs, ministries, retreats, and camps. The main areas of focus will be training in:

• children & youth ministry,
• missions,
• pastoral care, and
• marriage.

This project will fund the construction of the facilities:

• three 12-person cabins,
• a multi-purpose meeting room/dining room for 150 people,
• and extensive development and landscaping of the site, including a football field, volley ball court, pool, access road, and major electrical connection.

SIM missionaries will build a team of counselors to run weekend, week-long, and one-day training events to strengthen the local church. They will also utilize the experience and training of short-term teams and guest lecturers. The center will also be used as a retreat center for Latin American missionaries and possibly as a training facility for Latin missionary candidates.

Your partnership can help make this vision a reality.
