Where Worship Meets the City

Montevideo, Uruguay

The GOES Church in Montevideo stands as a beacon of faith and service. Thanks to a portion of the 13th Sabbath Offering, it’s transforming lives for eternity through worship and outreach.

In the heart of Montevideo, Uruguay, the GOES [go-ess] Seventh-day Adventist Church stands as a vibrant center of worship and community outreach. But this building is more than bricks and mortar—it’s a testimony to the power of mission giving.

Reaching a city like Montevideo comes with unique challenges. Like many major cities around the world, it’s a place where people are often busy, skeptical, and disconnected from spiritual life. Traditional methods of evangelism can be difficult, and building trust takes time and dedication.

That’s why centers of influence, like the GOES Church, are so important. Thanks to a portion of a recent 13th Sabbath Offering, this building was purchased, renovated, and transformed into a welcoming space where the church can meet people where they are.

Today, GOES Church serves not only as a house of worship on Sabbaths, but also as a hub for health workshops, clothing donations, family programs, and spiritual support throughout the week. It’s a place where compassion opens hearts and service opens doors.

Because of your generosity, the gospel is reaching people in Montevideo in practical, life-changing ways. It’s a place where trust is built, lives are touched, and Jesus is made known.

When you give to the 13th Sabbath Offering, you’re doing more than supporting a project, you’re helping transform lives for eternity. Your gift helps plant churches, launch ministries, and bring hope to cities where it’s needed most. Thank you for giving, praying, and being part of this mission.

    Spirit-Led Encounters

    In a closed Middle Eastern country, a missionary couple prayed for a home church and soon met Salman, a taxi driver who had become a Christian online but had never met another believer. When he joined their worship group—and later brought his wife and his secretly Christian brother Faisal—the small fellowship became a spiritual home for new disciples rejected elsewhere. Their story shows how God connects seekers, missionaries, and families through Spirit‑led encounters.
