“Growing” is the word. That single word encapsulates the vision of the Iglesia Evangelica Pentecostal y Misionera. It aims to win souls for Christ. It also consolidates them through proper spiritual building.
The Iglesia Evangelica Pentecostal y Misionera extends the challenge. Every believer should serve the Lord. Let’s explore this vision together right here.
The words that summarize the Iglesia Evangelica Pentecostal y Misionera’s vision are powerful. “Each house a growth group.” “Each believer a teacher.” “Each one wins one.”
This growth demands a good organization. It ensures effectiveness and solidity. It involves many people without overburdening anyone. Everyone is challenged to grow. There is a place and space for each believer at the Iglesia Evangelica Pentecostal y Misionera.
At the base of the Iglesia Evangelica Pentecostal y Misionera’s scheme are Growth Groups. These are weekly meetings in family homes. People learn to pray. They read the Bible. They establish closer relationships.
Teachers attend growth groups weekly. They are the close authority figure for the family. They help them grow spiritually. They also provide help of all kinds.
Coordinators are more experienced teachers. They are in charge of a group of teachers. They help them in their task. They support their work by giving instructions and prayer. They verify the functioning of the growth groups. They also visit them periodically.
Supervisors perform a similar task to the coordinators. But they do it with the coordinators. They work well with the pastors. They focus on the development of growth groups and the opening of new groups.
Missionary Pastors are in charge of carrying out the same work. They do this in more distant places. They reside permanently in that place.
Evangelist Pastors are dedicated to spreading the gospel. They collaborate in every service according to the needs of the Iglesia Evangelica Pentecostal y Misionera.
Auxiliary Pastors work very closely with the Founding Pastors. They collaborate in the planning of all activities. They also minister service to the Lord.
The Founding Pastors of the Iglesia Evangelica Misionera Argentina are Jos Maria Silvestri and Mabel de Silvestri. God transmitted the vision. They announced it and carried it forward. Since 2021 Pastor Pablo Silvestri received delegated authority. Pastor Mabel gave him the authority to lead the Iglesia Evangelica Pentecostal y Misionera. He organizes service to God. He watches over all places of worship. He takes on all the responsibilities of pastoral work.
At the highest place is our Lord Jesus Christ. All authority proceeds from him. It is always for the building up of all believers.
The Iglesia Evangelica Pentecostal y Misionera is part of a larger movement. This movement is Pentecostalism. It is one of the branches of the Protestant faith that has grown most in the 20th century.
Pentecostals share some key beliefs. They believe in the authority of the Bible. They believe in the importance of faith and grace. They also believe in a personal encounter with Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Pentecostals also believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. These gifts include speaking in tongues, prophecy and healing. They see these gifts as active in the world today.
This belief in miracles and divine intervention sets Pentecostalism apart. It emphasizes a direct and personal relationship with God. The Iglesia Evangelica Pentecostal y Misionera embodies this spirit. It fosters growth and service. It allows each believer to actively participate in their faith.
