During this week’s meeting of South America’s regional leaders, a strategic review of the 2026 Plan was carried out. The session was led by Pastor Moses Gonzalez and marked by a deep sense of spiritual purpose and missional urgency.
With seven months remaining until the General Assembly in October, this gathering was not only a space for evaluation but also a moment of spiritual alignment, where each goal was considered in light of the calling: “Until all know Him.” Leaders reflected on the progress of the work across the continent, recognizing that this is a decisive time to strengthen what has already been sown.
During the review, key areas were highlighted, such as expansion into new cities, the consolidation of presbyterial structures, and the strengthening of indigenous leadership. Each indicator was understood not merely as an administrative result, but as evidence of God’s work in the midst of the mission.
Special emphasis was placed on the need to move diligently toward the goal of impacting 250 cities, establishing churches that not only grow numerically but also reach maturity in their spiritual identity-being self-sustaining, self-governing, and committed to the proclamation of the gospel.
Progress in the financial area was also addressed, underscoring the importance of developing a solid economic foundation to support regional expansion. Leaders agreed that order, transparency, and responsibility in resource management are visible expressions of a well-grounded faith.
Biblical teaching also held a central place during the session, reminding all that genuine transformation arises from the Word. In this regard, the commitment to promote discipleship and Bible studies as the foundation for growth in every nation was renewed.
One of the most significant moments was the reaffirmation of the indigenous mission model, where the missionary, like a root, sustains and nourishes the local church until it becomes strong and mature. This approach calls for working with a vision of permanence, where the fruit remains even after the initial work steps back.
With their eyes set on the General Assembly in October, the leaders recognized that the next seven months represent a crucial window to consolidate what has been achieved and to respond faithfully to the calling received. Beyond the goals, there was a call to live this season with renewed dedication, knowing that it is God who builds and sustains His work.
The session concluded in a spirit of unity and commitment, reaffirming the vision of seeing the continent filled with the knowledge of Christ and embracing the challenge of being faithful instruments so that His Kingdom may be permanently established in South America.
