The first period is from 1917, the onset of the missions in Argentina, and 1932. This period is characterized by an explosion of missions. Around twenty churches were constructed and about four hundred members were baptized. Furthermore, many advances in biblical studies were made and developments in orphanages also were predominant. The Second period, from 1933-1969, is viewed with a trend that most rural communities are depopulating and coming to the city. This halted many of the church missions, due to halted growth. The third period, between 1940-present, is viewed as the beginning of the late reaction of the mission to relocate its endeavors. Many of the urban churches were founded during this period.<ref>Ernesto Suarez Vilela, 50th Anniversario de la iglesia evangelica menonita Argentina, 1919-1969.Commision de publicaciones Iglesia Menonita Argentina, (1969), 104.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;fckLRLa Iglesia Evangélica Menonita Argentina se desarrolló por la obra misionera en 1917.

W. Shank suggests, were influenced by a series of social issues. Much of the population was dependent on the availability of work, where work can be found and for how long. The increase of work usually allows church, “membership increases for a while; the membership remains the same for a longer period.”<ref>Shank, 1943, 83.</ref> In other words the memberships will remain stagnant for longer periods rather than see much fluctuation throughout the years. The Argentinian constitution allows for religious freedom, but most of the country is Roman Catholic. In the early stages of the Mennonite mission within Argentina there was much animosity between Catholics and the members of the Mennonite church. Many members were not experienced enough to confront persecutions and thus would revert to old traditions, a lack of spiritual strength to stand up for beliefs. Divisions among churches were also a factor that affected church memberships. Deaths within the church were also a reason for loss of members (reason unknown didn’t say). As of January 1942 the membership in the Mennonite mission was 532.

These initial Bible studies materials were very basic, comprised of questions and subsequent response in Biblical verses. In 1972 Edward Yoder produced Estudios de Doctrina Christiana. The material is majorly focused on the discussion and conversation dealing with biblical passages. There would be a discussion leader that would open the study with a introduction to the material and they would enter a questioning and discussion period. The study was separated into four volumes. Part 1 deals with how the Christian should interpret God and the teachings of the Bible. Part 2 focuses on the fallen humanity. Part 3 situates the church amongst the mission and its function as part of the Christina body, the mission and life.

One of the important focuses of Shank was to develop indigenized theology of the Gospel and Mennonite theology, but the MMB and other missionaries in Argentina were become wary of the direction of Shank. The IEMA churches and in general most Latin-American churches are facing several difficulties. One of the major challenges is to identify the meaning behind what it is to be Mennonite or Anabaptist, the core theology. Another is what do the individual churches interpret as being a peace church. Also another challenge is the reasoning behind adopting or not adopting the title evangelical in addition to Mennonite. Many churches are either against the usage of Evangelical in an attempt to promote a middle way, neither Catholic nor Evangelical. In addition to theological issues Argentina faces other secular challenges. Anabaptist theology lays the foundation for going against the social norm. For instance, principles of autonomy, separation with the state, communal values, community, the ability to exist without delineated leadership, developing peace strategies and questioning social, political, and philosophical dogmas are reasons why the IEMA finds them a challenge and a calling. The ability to function in a country that has traversed a very militaristic and political troubles being a counter story to the social norm takes courage and faith.

The first period is from 1917, the onset of the missions in Argentina, and 1932. This period is characterized by an explosion of missions. Around twenty churches were constructed and about four hundred members were baptized. Furthermore, many advances in biblical studies were made and developments in orphanages also were predominant. The Second period, from 1933-1969, is viewed with a trend that most rural communities are depopulating and coming to the city. This halted many of the church missions, due to halted growth. The third period, between 1940-present, is viewed as the beginning of the late reaction of the mission to relocate its endeavors.

W. Shank suggests, were influenced by a series of social issues. Much of the population was dependent on the availability of work, where work can be found and for how long. The increase of work usually allows church, “membership increases for a while; the membership remains the same for a longer period.”<ref>Shank, 1943, 83.</ref> In other words the memberships will remain stagnant for longer periods rather than see much fluctuation throughout the years. The Argentinian constitution allows for religious freedom, but most of the country is Roman Catholic. In the early stages of the Mennonite mission within Argentina there was much animosity between Catholics and the members of the Mennonite church. Many members were not experienced enough to confront persecutions and thus would revert to old traditions, a lack of spiritual strength to stand up for beliefs. Divisions among churches were also a factor that affected church memberships. Deaths within the church were also a reason for loss of members (reason unknown didn’t say). As of January 1942 the membership in the Mennonite mission was 532.

The increase of work usually allows church, “membership increases for a while; the membership remains the same for a longer period.”<ref>Shank, 1943, 83.</ref> In other words the memberships will remain stagnant for longer periods rather than see much fluctuation throughout the years. The Argentinian constitution allows for religious freedom, but most of the country is Roman Catholic. In the early stages of the Mennonite mission within Argentina there was much animosity between Catholics and the members of the Mennonite church. Many members were not experienced enough to confront persecutions and thus would revert to old traditions, a lack of spiritual strength to stand up for beliefs. Divisions among churches were also a factor that affected church memberships. Deaths within the church were also a reason for loss of members (reason unknown didn’t say). As of January 1942 the membership in the Mennonite mission was 532. In comparison to the membership during 1923, a total of 90 members, the church mission grew considerably.<ref>Shank, 1943, 85 and 89.</ref> </div></td></tr>

Initial move towards missions in Argentina was one of much deliverance. The Board investigated options and weighed the pros and cons. There were many nations available to the Mennonite Mission Board to initiate programs such as Bolivia, Peru, Chile and Argentina. One of the main concerns of the Mennonite Board of Missions, in Elkhart, Indiana, was conscious of health requirements of missionaries. Due to its temperate climate and the responsiveness of its people to the Gospel Argentina was chosen in 1917. The missionaries J. W. Shank and wife, and T.K. Hershey and wife left for Argentina with $20,000 to start a ministry. They arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on September 11, 1917. The predominant religion of Argentina is Catholicism, however, the Mennonite Mission flourished throughout its beginning years. J. W. Shank noted that Argentina is amalgamation of many nationalities and ethnicities creating uniquely diverse conditions for ministries. However, one major commonality with many Argentinians was the association to Catholic practices and traditions. Catholic traditions like kneeling, visual images of Jesus and the Virgin Mary, and communion were starkly different from the practices of the Mennonite missions. The mission church services were well attended and had much impact on the people. Especially during services that included foot washing and times for testimony became powerful ways to engage the community in positive ways. In 1942 the growth of Argentinian churches, as J. W. Shank suggests, were influenced by a series of social issues. Much of the population was dependent on the availability of work, where work can be found and for how long. The increase of work usually allows church, “membership increases for a while; the membership remains the same for a longer period.” In other words the memberships will remain stagnant for longer periods rather than see much fluctuation throughout the years. The Argentinian constitution allows for religious freedom, but most of the country is Roman Catholic. In the early stages of the Mennonite mission within Argentina there was much animosity between Catholics and the members of the Mennonite church. Many members were not experienced enough to confront persecutions and thus would revert to old traditions, a lack of spiritual strength to stand up for beliefs. Divisions among churches were also a factor that affected church memberships. Deaths within the church were also a reason for loss of members (reason unknown didn’t say). As of January 1942 the membership in the Mennonite mission was 532.

Divisions among churches were also a factor that affected church memberships. Deaths within the church were also a reason for loss of members (reason unknown didn’t say). As of January 1942 the membership in the Mennonite mission was 532. In comparison to the membership during 1923, a total of 90 members, the church mission grew considerably. </div></td></tr>

The main purpose of this magazine was to identify the mission of the Mennonites within Argentina. It promoted peacea theology, family dynamics, women in ministry, historical Mennonite roots, music, and testimonies. A major work in the early editions of the La Voz Menonita was the description of the Anabaptists in the 16th century. It was important for the editors and writers of this material to identify the legacy and mission of the Anabaptist theology and its implication to the modern Argentina. There were different ways that the magazine promoted Christian values. Mainly it contained articles that demonstrated unwavering faith: baptismal stories, the rebirth of members of the church, and testimonies of Argentinian and missionary persons. It also served the function of maintaining all IEMA communities in conversation with each other, the magazine had section for news and events such as: JEMA retreats, current women’s ministries, articles about Christian living and upcoming conferences. This material was very dynamic in its outreach. Even though most of the magazine was directed towards an older demographic, there were also articles directed towards the younger members of the church. There would be stories for children that taught Christian values, almost in every edition. IEMA directed their efforts through this material to be all inclusive. This production stopped in 1962. This magazine was provided through subscritions. El Discipulo Christiano, also known as The Christian Disciple (1965-1973): This material was focused on the greater work of the IEMA. It was published in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The first edition of this magazine outlined the focus: 1. The necessity to address problems that the church is facing: missions, Christian education, and what is necessary to provide Christian workers. 2. The church is to be challenging and helpful toward personal growth in Christ for the individual. 3. Help alleviate daily problems of Christian living. 4. Serve as a prophetic voice for the church. 5. Encourage the disciple and church to confront social problems and injustices with the message of the Gospel. 6. Work for the greater unity of the IEMA and global church. 7. Aid the Anabaptist tradition of development and missions. During the printing of this magazine would fall between the era in which the Peron ousting and the military coup of 1976. The material was provided by subscriptions. Perspectiva, also known as Outlook (1975-1985): This was a fairly simple version of the prior magazines. It was very cheap, considering that they were financial based on donations, per copy, rather than subscriptions. The magazine was more conservative in its mission statement and sought to identify and address the meaning of Christian living. The goals were: to write material that is in line with scriptures and if the reader finds that it is, then Perspectiva hopes the reader would live in such way. Christian Education There have been various education material published for the IEMA. The first among these was the Estudios Biblicos para Creyentes written by J. W. Shank produced in 1928. These initial Bible studies materials were very basic, comprised of questions and subsequent response in Biblical verses. In 1972 Edward Yoder produced Estudios de Doctrina Christiana. The material is majorly focused on the discussion and conversation dealing with biblical passages. There would be a discussion leader that would open the study with a introduction to the material and they would enter a questioning and discussion period. The study was separated into four volumes. Part 1 deals with how the Christian should interpret God and the teachings of the Bible. Part 2 focuses on the fallen humanity. Part 3 situates the church amongst the mission and its function as part of the Christina body, the mission and life. Part 4 focuses on Christian living in the modern day through Christ. </div></td><td class='diff-marker'> </td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>Publishing From 1932-1985 La Voz Menonita, also known as The Mennonite Voice (1932-1962): The magazine started in 1932, and was published in Trenque Lauquen.

W. Shank and the Mennonite Mission Board was developing mistrust. One of the important focuses of Shank was to develop indigenized theology of the Gospel and Mennonite theology, but the MMB and other missionaries in Argentina were become wary of the direction of Shank. The IEMA churches and in general most Latin-American churches are facing several difficulties. One of the major challenges is to identify the meaning behind what it is to be Mennonite or Anabaptist, the core theology. Another is what do the individual churches interpret as being a peace church. Also another challenge is the reasoning behind adopting or not adopting the title evangelical in addition to Mennonite. Many churches are either against the usage of Evangelical in an attempt to promote a middle way, neither Catholic nor Evangelical. In addition to theological issues Argentina faces other secular challenges. Anabaptist theology lays the foundation for going against the social norm. For instance, principles of autonomy, separation with the state, communal values, community, the ability to exist without delineated leadership, developing peace strategies and questioning social, political, and philosophical dogmas are reasons why the IEMA finds them a challenge and a calling. The ability to function in a country that has traversed a very militaristic and political troubles being a counter story to the social norm takes courage and faith.

W. Shank suggests, were influenced by a series of social issues. Much of the population was dependent on the availability of work, where work can be found and for how long. The increase of work usually allows church, “membership increases for a while; the membership remains the same for a longer period.” In other words the memberships will remain stagnant for longer periods rather than see much fluctuation throughout the years. The Argentinian constitution allows for religious freedom, but most of the country is Roman Catholic. In the early stages of the Mennonite mission within Argentina there was much animosity between Catholics and the members of the Mennonite church. Many members were not experienced enough to confront persecutions and thus would revert to old traditions, a lack of spiritual strength to stand up for beliefs. Divisions among churches were also a factor that affected church memberships. Deaths within the church were also a reason for loss of members (reason unknown didn’t say).
