In 1954, American evangelist Tommy Hicks traveled to Argentina with a burning vision that God wanted to shake the nation with healing and salvation. He felt specifically led to request the use of a national stadium for gospel meetings. Lacking any official connection or influence, Hicks boldly sought an audience with President Juan Perón, the most powerful man in the country at the time. Security denied his request, but while waiting at the government palace, he met a man with severe skin disease who worked on staff. Hicks prayed for him, and the man was instantly healed.
Stunned, the man rushed inside and told others what had happened. Word reached President Perón himself, who had long suffered from a chronic skin condition. He invited Hicks into his office. With childlike faith, Hicks laid hands on the president and prayed in Jesus’ name. Perón, too, was healed. Deeply moved by this miracle, he granted Hicks the use of a massive stadium that seated 25,000 people. Not only that, but he opened the doors of Argentina, giving full access to radio and newspaper outlets to advertise the gospel meetings nationwide.
What followed was one of the most extraordinary mass evangelism movements in Latin American history. Night after night, tens of thousands filled the stadium. Miracles happened publicly. Crutches and wheelchairs were left behind. Blind eyes opened. Deaf ears were unstopped. Outside the gates, crowds swelled into the hundreds of thousands. Hicks began using open-air fields to accommodate the overflow. In a short time, over three million people heard the gospel, and countless lives were healed and saved. The revival shook the nation and drew global attention.
More than just a series of healing services, the Argentina campaign ignited long-term fruit. It stirred faith across South America and helped usher in a move of God that birthed churches, evangelistic ministries, and missionary work. Tommy Hicks would later say the entire revival began with one act of obedience and the healing of a man outside the presidential palace. What began with bold faith and a single prayer opened a nation to the power of God and set Argentina ablaze with the glory of Jesus Christ.
