Uruguayan, White in Argentina

Introduction / History

Throughout Latin America in early colonial days, it was common for Spanish men to marry indigenous women. Their children were called mestizos, and culturally they could be European, Indigenous, or somewhere in between. Other Europeans remained separate from the indigenous peoples. Today they might identify with Uruguay, Spain, or the country where they now reside. White Uruguayans live primarily in Uruguay, but also in Argentina, Mexico, the United States, or Spain.

What Are Their Lives Like?

White Uruguayans come to Argentina for work; Argentina has a much bigger economy than Uruguay. Urban Uruguayans enjoy a high standard of life much like many in the western world. They work in service sector, industrial, agricultural, or governmental occupations.

Those who want to start a career in entertainment find more opportunities in Argentina. Many Uruguayan actors, musicians, artists, and writers have made solid careers in Argentina.

What Are Their Beliefs?

White Ecuadorians in Argentina are usually Roman Catholic, but they also have a strong Evangelical minority.

What Are Their Needs?

They need revival fire to bless their churches, families, and neighborhoods.

Prayer Points

Pray for a Holy Spirit-led revival to bless White Ecuadorians in Argentina leading them to a rich spiritual life in Christ.
Pray for them to become a powerful force for discipleship among those without the gospel throughout Latin America.
Pray for the Lord to bless them materially and spiritually as they obey Christ.
