Pastor Evelyn Joshua Lifts Argentina’s Poorest with Aid, Hope, and Faith

Pastor Evelyn Joshua Lifts Argentina’s Poorest with Aid, Hope, and Faith
In the heart of BALASTRO II, Fontana, located in Resistencia, Chaco Province, Argentina, poverty grips the community in a devastating way. Described as the "poorest of the poor" in Argentina, life here mirrors Thomas Hobbes' grim assessment of existence as "brutish, nasty, and short." Over one million children live in extreme deprivation, surviving on one malnourished meal a day with little hope for the future. Lacking access to food, water, electricity, and basic necessities, the community’s daily struggle is heartbreaking.

However, in the midst of this despair, Pastor Evelyn Joshua, alongside Emmanuel TV Partners from the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), brought relief and renewed hope. Their mission was to improve lives by meeting basic needs and sharing the message of love and faith.
More than 500 families living in dire conditions benefited from the outreach. A trailer loaded with essential supplies, including food, clothing, domestic and educational items worth over 20 million Argentine pesos, was distributed. Additionally, the beneficiaries received cash gifts of $1.5 million pesos, a lifeline for many who had been living without hope.

The community’s response was overwhelming. Excitement filled the air as the gifts, described as "manna from heaven," were delivered not by their usual Western benefactors, but by a team of Christians from Nigeria. The joy and gratitude of the villagers were palpable as they expressed amazement at the generosity.
Fontana, a community steeped in backwardness and challenges such as witchcraft, idol worship, and drug abuse among the youth, was transformed by the presence of Pastor Evelyn Joshua and her team. The open football field, the only prominent structure in the village, became a stage for celebration, filled with traditional songs and dances as villagers expressed their appreciation.

Addressing the crowd, Pastor Evelyn Joshua shared a message of love and faith. “We have brought the gospel of love from our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. For your joy to be complete and lasting, you must surrender your life to Him,” she urged the villagers. She emphasized the importance of raising children in the fear of God and providing them with sound education, while encouraging the mothers to bring up their children with moral values.
One of the beneficiaries, Aduana Solidod Gornama, a 37-year-old homeless mother of five, expressed her joy. “This is a miracle. May God continue to bless the woman of God. This will save us from hopelessness,” she said with tears of gratitude.

Viviome Piluen Colrol, a jobless housewife living in a cramped ghetto apartment with her husband and children, shared, “Today is the happiest day of my life. This help came just when all hope was gone.”

Community leader Jorge Aditouio Movoz, who also lives in poverty, spoke for the entire village: “Words are not enough to express our joy. To see you, a black woman from Nigeria, blessing us in this way is unbelievable. May God bless you and your church.”

Pastor Evelyn Joshua’s visit to Fontana is part of the ongoing humanitarian mission laid down by Prophet TB Joshua, the founder of SCOAN. “By the grace of God, we have put our hands on the plow, and we won’t look back. We are committed to changing lives, nations, and the world, as the Lord directs us,” she said.
Even a local white pastor in attendance, overwhelmed by the kindness, quietly remarked, “We used to pray for black people, but now they are the ones praying for us. God is awesome!”

Through the efforts of Pastor Evelyn Joshua and SCOAN, lives are being transformed, and love is leading the way in creating a better world.
