Argentina has a new President – is this good news or bad for the country?

 Argentina has been in a state of economic decline for many years, writes Rosana Escobar, but with the election of a new President this month, she believes there is hope for the future.

In this Christmas season, we know that the world is not equal. While we in the UK live in peace, able to celebrate with family and friends, others are fighting for survival, their countries at war. I am an Argentinian living in London and although my country of birth is not at war, it has experienced economic hardship for many years. But I believe God has a plan and a purpose for the nation of Argentina, and as we move in 2024, I am praying that the election of a new president a few weeks ago will be a blessing for the nation.

I became a Christian in 1978 during the Argentine World cup, I then felt called to serve as a missionary with Youth With a Mission (YWAM). In 2002 my husband and I moved to England with a deep desire to see and participate in revival in Europe. So from a distance I have been following with hope the new election of Argentina’s President, Javier Gerardo Milei earlier this month. My prayer is that if the government of Milei is a success, it will be a very positive influence for the rest of Latin America.
