| Our Role in Global Mission |

| As a synod of the ELCA, we are some of the hands, feet, heart, and love of Christ in the countries of Argentina and Uruguay. |
|
| Component(s) of our relationship |
|
A signed Covenant
We have a signed covenant with our brothers and sisters in Christ in IELU. In the covenant we outline the gifts of each party of the covenant and how those gifts can be shared with their partner church.
Companion Congregations
We are in the process of trying to match congregations in our synod with a congregation in IELU. We receive a request from a NEPS congregation. We then send that request to the IELU where they try to find a match with an IELU congregation.
Youth Vision Trips
WE have completed 3 youth vision trips to our brothers and sisters in Argentina and Uruguay. Each trip involves youth from both churches. We share together in worship, ministry, playing, and the love of Christ.
