Will ‘Conservative’ Mean Christian-Friendly in Latin America

PRAY WITH US about Will Conservative mean Christian-Friendly: Father God, we exalt You as the Alpha and Omega. For You know the height and depth and length and breadth and right and wrong of all things. But we tend to see things only as right or left on the political spectrum. Help us and political candidates to see what is right in Your eyes instead. For Your word says You made us in fearfully wonderful ways in the womb. And You tell us to honor our fathers and mothers and elders instead of using euthanasia against them.

So quicken our God-given consciences when we vote or run for office. For our decisions will affect families and generations to come. Affirm how you made us male and female to become one in one-man one-woman marriages. To be fruitful and multiply with children providing each with a faithful mother and father. And to find Christ, the one way to the Father, who has all the answers for the nations. Turn the nations to Your higher thoughts and higher ways for them. And send Your Spirit to guide them to find Your Word for every decision they make. In Jesus’ name, amen.

PRAYER ALERT: Will ‘Conservative’ Mean Christian-Friendly in Latin America?

The vote in three of the nations in Latin American in the past 18 months went to conservatives. Most recently, Ecuador elected “law and order” conservative Daniel Naboa as its president in April. Yet he supports special rights for LGBTs and access to hormone- and psycho-therapy for trans people. And other conservative leaders have not always turned out to be conservative in the Christian sense.

Last year El Salvador re-elected Nayib Bukele as its president with a whopping 85% of the vote. First elected in 2019, he focused on stopping the terrorist MS-13 gang by imprisoning thousands of members. He won many admirers by turning it from one of the most dangerous countries to one of the safest. Four years ago he was more pro-LGBT. But now he opposes gender ideology and same-sex marriage, in favor of “patriotic and family values.”

In Dec. 2022, libertarian economist Javier Milei took office as president of Argentina with a 56% vote. He too won many admirers. But by bringing Argentina’s inflation down from 300% yearly in May 2023 to 2.2% monthly in Jan. 2025. Milei stands against abortion and euthanasia, but for legalization of prostitution and drugs.
