Kyle and Claudia Zimmerman

Argentina

Development & Outreach  

Children: Isaiah, Sarah, Abegail 

In 2007, Kyle and Claudia returned to Buenos Aires and La Mision Church, where Kyle had served for a period after college. Currently, the Zimmermans serve at La Mision’s Palermo campus, a suburban area, where they are both involved in teaching. Kyle is an industrial engineer and is using his skills to teach carpentry and woodworking to young men living in shanty towns. These young men come to learn a trade, but many have said they stay to hear the gospel lessons Kyle shares with them. The economy is expected to reach 140% inflation this year. Their church is stepping in to help fill the hunger gap by serving 200 meals each Saturday. Through the carpentry classes, Kyle has been able to provide stipends to two advanced students, which has helped their family during financial need as they refine their carpentry skills while producing several products to sell locally and stateside. 

Prayer Requests:

  • Pray that God would continue to bless Kyle’s ministry, both as an elder at La Mision and as a carpentry teacher, and that he might reflect Christ’s love to those around him. Pray for Claudia as she shepherds the women and for their continued spiritual growth. 
  • Pray for La Mision’s ministries to the under-resourced, that in these difficult economic times they might know and experience the Lord’s provisions. 
  • Pray for the well-being of their three children, that God would guide and direct Isaiah at Covenant College, Sarah as she decides which college to attend, and Abegail as she remains at home in Argentina.
