Conditions Prior to the Revival
► Argentina was considered by mission boards to be the least fruitful mission field in the Western Hemisphere.
► Throughout the entire nation of Argentina, the Assemblies of God, after 40 years of hard work, could only account for 174 adult church members by 1951.
► In 1949, a census of the three most successful denominations in Argentina totaled 574 members. Large churches at the time were made up of but 7 members.
► Spiritism was dominant in many cities and towns, with churches being unable to get a foothold in those communities.
► The occult had a grip on millions, influencing every level of society. Christians frequented witch doctors for remedies to their sicknesses when they didn’t have the money for modern medicine.
► Roman Catholicism, being the official state religion, discriminated severely against Protestant churches. Protestants were often forbidden to use radio and television, as well as to gain permission to conduct large evangelistic campaigns.
