This work describes the reshaping of mission in Latin America in recent years. It covers a broad spectrum of Christian movements that coexist in the area. The book includes themes related to theology of mission, ecclesiology, history, social action, and leadership. It is designed to serve as a guide to understand different Christian trends in contemporary Latin America. Most contributors belong to the young generation of Christian leaders emerging in different locations of the region--from Central America, the Caribbean, and South and North America. They are sensitive to the differences that are part of denominational identity. This work is unique and calls for a meaningful and mature dialogue among Christians on the continent. Latin America is still a continent of hope, where Christianity continues to grow in the midst of poverty and social and political struggles. Christian workers are seeking unity and mutual understanding. Promising young leaders are emerging and bringing innovation, vision, and dynamism to the Latin American church in every country.
