Unreached peoples of Argentina
An overview of the country's people groups, focusing on those who still have little or no access to the gospel in their own language and culture.
Overview
Argentina has 4 unreached peoples, 2 of them frontier people groups, the farthest from the gospel. They are small communities within a majority-Christian population of Catholic tradition: three Jewish groups (Spanish-speaking, Syrian and Litvish (an ultra-Orthodox Jewish subgroup of Lithuanian origin)) and the deaf community. Each remains with specific needs and little full access to the message of Christ in its own language and culture.
