In Awe In Argentina By Rocky Grams

Rocky Grams' new book, In Awe In Argentina, has been impacting lives. I was with Rocky a few years ago in Argentina and I know this is a story that needed to be written. What God continues doing there is remarkable. I have bumped into missionaries from Argentina all over the world who are graduates of River Plate Bible Institute, the school Rocky leads.

Rocky says, "Writing this book was a mandate from God! It took me five years to write it and a couple of years to find a publisher, Creation House."

Reading the manuscript brought revival to students, pastors and missionaries in Albania.

Edgardo Munoz, a friend and colleague of the Grams, states that the book is "the seed of revival."

It's being sold in countries as diverse as Japan, Great Britain, Australia and Germany. It has been published in English and Spanish.

Argentina is the second largest nation in South America. Its population of approximately 38 million is diverse, with about 85 percent being of European descent. At one time, Argentina was the most prosperous, educated, and industrialized nation in South America. In recent years the government has had to pursue harsh economic measures to combat spiraling inflation. Despite the people's spiritual aloofness of decades, God has sent a mighty revival to Argentina in recent years. Hundreds of thousands have accepted Christ and the urgent need has been discipling and training—to retain the tremendous harvest.
Rocky Grams grew up on the mission field. He spent 16 years in Bolivia ministering alongside his parents, assisting in planting churches in the high Andes Mountains, distributing literature, ministering to youth, and teaching music and Spanish at a Bible School for Aymara Indians.

Rocky and his wife, Sherry, met at North Central Bible College. They have served as missionaries to Argentina since 1979 and have seen a dynamic response to the gospel. Rocky has directed the Instituto Biblico Rio de la Plata in Buenos Aires, and Sherry has served as teacher and counselor. The Bible School has an enrollment of 408 resident students and 529 part-time students.

The school has over 1,873 graduates ministering all over Argentina and in 35 different countries of the world. Of the 179 foreign missionaries sent out by the Argentine Assemblies of God, 53 are alumni of River Plate Bible Institute.

The Grams sense a tremendous urgency to help provide training for the hundreds of young people who are feeling the call to ministry.
