Tiempos de Dios

On a quiet street named Ricardo Gutiérrez, you’ll find Tiempos de Dios. This unassuming place of worship holds a unique story within the broader narrative of the Church of God in Argentina. Tiempos de Dios, meaning “God’s Times” in Spanish, reflects the church’s belief in divine timing and intervention. The Church of God’s presence in Argentina traces back to 1922. An Italian immigrant, Marcos Mazzucco, arrived with his wife, seeking new opportunities. A miraculous healing led to his conversion in 1928. In gratitude, he opened his humble home on Gral. Frías Street in Avellaneda for worship. This marked the beginning of a growing congregation. By 1931, this congregation, then known as the Evangelical Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ, secured its own building. The movement expanded, not just in numbers but also geographically, reaching various neighborhoods and nearby cities. In 1940, a significant union took place. The Evangelical Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ merged with the Church of God, represented by missionary Rev. J. H. Ingram. Marcos Mazzucco became the first Supervisor of the Church of God in Argentina. This union propelled the church into decades of progress and growth across the nation. Tiempos de Dios stands as a testament to this rich history. It’s a local expression of a global faith that began in a rustic house in 1886, on the border of Tennessee and North Carolina. From these humble beginnings, the Church of God has grown to a global presence, with millions of members in numerous countries. As you stand before Tiempos de Dios, consider the journey of faith that brought this church to this very location. It is a story of personal conversion, community growth, and the enduring power of belief. Tiempos de Dios serves as a reminder that even in the bustling city, moments of divine connection can be found.
