Uruguay
This missionary endeavor began in 1984 with meetings in the living room of missionaries, Carlos and Lissette DiLeo. With God’s blessing, the DiLeos were able to win people to Christ and see them follow Him. An independent Baptist church was soon established. By 1995, the church had its own Uruguayan pastor, deacons, and leaders, and was totally self-supporting.
In 1995, the DiLeos started a second church in another suburb of  Montevideo.
Once again, they began in the living room of a house that they were renting. That young church now has 20 adult members and averages more than 40 people in attendance at their services.
They recently called Pastor Daniel Acevedo as their pastor. This freed-up Pastor DiLeo to begin a new missionary endeavor in the country of Mexico.
 Bible Baptist church continues to be involved in the work Uruguay, providing the teaching material for the Independent Bible Baptist Institute.
There are presently 26 students in this Bible institute training for Christian service. |
