ARGENTINA'S PRESIDENT JUST DID WHAT NO WESTERN LEADER HAS THE GUTS TO DO
On Monday, November 3, 2025, Argentina held its first official Day of Evangelical Churches at the Casa Rosada presidential palace in Buenos Aires. The historic prayer meeting was attended by President Javier Milei, Presidential Secretary General Karina Milei, Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni, and Minister of the Interior Diego Santilli.
The event was organized by the National Board of the Christian Alliance of Evangelical Churches of the Argentine Republic (ACIERA) and brought together more than 50 pastors and leaders from various provinces across Argentina. The gathering was made possible through Law 27741, passed by Argentina's Chamber of Deputies and Senate in 2024, which established the Day of Evangelical Churches as an official observance.
For the first time in Argentine history, evangelical church representatives prayed at the headquarters of the National Executive Branch for the nation. Participants lifted prayers for the economy, justice, education, the fight against drug trafficking, families, and government authorities. The prayer meeting was divided into six specific moments focusing on these different areas of national concern.
During the ceremony, hymns and songs of faith were performed, including "Argentina, You Will Rise," composed and performed by singer Miriam Bloise. Bloise stated, "I felt as if we were raising an altar in that place.
Everyone sang with strength, and when the president entered, he joined in the singing." President Milei actively participated in the singing, with lyrics printed and distributed to all attendees including the president and his ministers.
ACIERA President Pastor Christian Hooft presented President Milei with a Bible on behalf of the evangelical churches affiliated with ACIERA, along with a book about prayer. Hooft thanked the president for making the event possible at the Government House.
Political analyst Marcelo Díaz, who attended the event, described Milei's address: "The president spoke from the heart, very emotionally, and shared personal and spiritual experiences. It was surprising to see his openness and reflection on moral values and Judeo Christian convictions."
ACIERA Vice President Rafael Pedace explained the event came through the initiative of Pastor Alejandro Rodríguez, director of Youth With A Mission (YWAM), who proposed holding a gathering of gratitude and prayer for the nation. According to Pedace, "President Milei immediately accepted the idea."
During the prayer time, participants prayed specifically for President Milei, asking God to give him wisdom, temperance, and strength to lead Argentina. Multiple attendees reported that Milei appeared moved and receptive throughout the ceremony.
According to several witnesses, President Milei stated he felt "placed by God in this position" and emphasized the importance of upholding ethical and moral values above political or personal interests. ACIERA Executive Council Secretary Alejandro Espínola called the day "a very emotional meeting" and "a historic experience for all of us."
THE CRUSADER'S OPINION
This is what Christian political leadership looks like.
While Western Europe bows to secularism and North American politicians hide their faith in focus groups, President Milei openly declares God's hand on his governance.
Argentina just showed the world what happens when a nation stops apologizing for its Christian heritage.
Over 50 pastors praying in the presidential palace for their country.
A president who doesn't just tolerate Christianity but participates in worship.
When leaders recognize they serve under God's authority, not their own egos, nations can be transformed.
The West needs to pay attention.
