Argentinian, White in Italy

Introduction / History

In each Latin American country, including Argentina, some intermarried between the European colonizers and the indigenous peoples. Their children were called mestizos, and culturally they could be European, Indigenous, or somewhere in between.

Some Europeans remained separate from the indigenous peoples. They might identify with their country, while a small minority identify with Spain. Argentina is a Latin American country with a high percentage of White people, since there were not many indigenous peoples in this part of the Americas when the Spanish arrived.

Most live in Argentina, but there is a sizable diaspora in the United States and Spain. Others live in Mexico, Uruguay, Denmark, Italy, or France.

Many Argentines fled to Italy in the 1970s and 1900s, either due to an oppressive military dictatorship or economic problems.

What Are Their Lives Like?

There is a high percentage of ethnic Italians in Argentina. Those who speak Italian chose this country to start anew.

What Are Their Beliefs?

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

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 Argentinians in Italy, leading them to a richer spiritual life in Christ.
Pray for them to become a powerful force for discipleship among those without the gospel throughout Europe.
Pray for the Lord to bless them materially and spiritually as they obey Christ.
