Argentinian, White in Spain

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 Spain in the 1970s-1900s either because of a military dictatorship or because of economic problems.

What Are Their Lives Like?

White Argentines live in several European countries, but Spain is their favorite destination on that continent.

What Are Their Beliefs?

White Argentinians 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 Argentines in Spain, 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.
