In the 1990s, church buildings were purchased in each of these areas, and now each congregation has a formal place of worship. The True Jesus Church in Central and South America began in the 1980s, when members from Taiwan immigrated to Argentina. Under the Lord s guidance, the Argentina church was established in Buenos Aires in 1992. Membership has continued to increase despite the unstable economy, and newly baptized members make up almost one-third of the congregation. The prayer houses in each of these countries began with just a few members, but through the guidance of the Lord, many sheep have been added to the fold, many of whom are natives.
Members gather for worship in members homes or workplaces.
The churches in Europe started when overseas students came to study in France and Germany in the late 1970s, and when members from Taiwan immigrated to Austria in the mid 1980s. Over the next few decades, one church was established in Paris and three prayer houses were established, one each in Heidelberg, Salzburg, and Hamburg. There are also a few members scattered in Switzerland, Spain, Holland, and Belgium. The islands of Fiji are situated in the South Pacific Ocean near Australia and New Zealand. The gospel was first preached to Fiji in 1996, when a minister visited a brother who had immigrated there.
