The evangelical charismatic Church is growing exponentially in Latin America. Justin Brierley speaks to Argentinian evangelist Carlos Annacondia about what he's been seeing
When Christians talk about the Church in Argentina, they frequently speak of ‘before and after Annacondia’. Although relatively unknown in the West, Carlos Annacondia has been the figure behind decades of ongoing charismatic revival in Argentina since his conversion in 1979, up to the present.
Annacondia came to a living faith in his mid-30s. Having already made his fortune as a businessman, a radical encounter with Christ would see him embark on a remarkable healing and evangelism ministry which shows no signs of slowing down now he’s in his 70s.
Relaxed and jovial as he converses through an interpreter, Annacondia still strikes me as a humble man, given the reputation he has on his own continent.
