During July, a missionary service was held under the slogan “The Mission Belongs to All,” at the Iglesia del Nazareno Gracias Señor in the North Patagonia District in Argentina. The purpose was to share that all are called to fulfill the mission where the Lord has placed them: in education, sports, politics, family, commerce, etc.

The church's teens performed a play about a need in the Middle East and how different professions provide open doors to creative access areas. The play challenged the church to lead in reaching people who do not yet know Jesus.

In addition, the children shared that they learned what it means to be a missionary and how they can be part of the mission. They made a “stand” from Israel, Mexico, and Italy and explained each place's culture and needs. They also made flags and dressed in cultural clothing to remind the church that everyone needs to know Jesus.

Pastor Carlos Amaza preached, challenging the church with a strong and clear message related the Great Commission.

“Go and preach the gospel to the ends of the earth because the MISSION IS FOR ALL,” Amaza said.

District Nazarene Missions International President Fabio Navarro held a time of prayer and intercession for unreached people and the church.

“We ask you, Lord, to awaken a church that is going to be committed to sending, supporting, and praying in the name of Jesus,” Navarro said.

Jorgelina Juárez, who attended the service, said the play impacted her,

“Seeing the need of the world can bring sadness,” Juárez said. “But we don't have to stay with that. The church can do something… and the most beautiful thing is that we can all do something. [Thinking about] missions makes me realize that we are not limited to our city; we can also reach other places.”
