Dear Friends,

“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,” – Hebrews 12:28

We are truly thankful that we are a part of a “kingdom that cannot be shaken.” When there is shaking all around us God gives us great assurance.  The writer goes on to say, “be thankful” and “worship God.”  We are most grateful to the Lord for each of you and your part of the ministry in Argentina.  Thanks for your prayers and vital support each month!

School for Pastors and Leaders 2020
In February, we hosted our 6th School for Pastors and Leaders.  It was exciting to see Pastors and Leaders from many different churches receiving training and ministry. We were able to provide scholarships for 12 Bible School students to participate, many of whom have a burden for church planting. We are praying God continues to use the school to inspire, instruct and help train pastors and leaders for a life of service to the Lord.

Teaching Church Planting at Bible School and Future Missionaries

It was thrilling to see the classroom filled with students studying for the ministry and to be a part of the church planting class.  In one of the activities, the students were divided into groups to present how they would plant a new church in Urban, Rural, and a town setting.  It was exciting to see their motivation and enthusiasm.  We were also privileged to teach church planting and discipleship to a group of future missionaries with the Baptist mission. It was such a joy to see them respond with great desire.  Thanks for continuing to pray for workers!

Anniversary of Life Christian Center

We were encouraged as we got to celebrate our 7th Anniversary as a church with a Missions Convention. As part of our activities for the Convention, our Life Groups hosted different countries that our church is helping to support missionaries and we received our Faith Promise giving for the new year.  Our church is currently supporting 15 missionaries serving in World missions. Continue to pray that God will use the church to touch the 400,000 people who live in San Isidro through our “Festival for the Family” and as we continue to help plant churches throughout Argentina.

Family News!

We are so excited to share with you the birth of our first grandchild to Stephen and Courtney.  Ellie Louise was born on February 4th in Princeton, New Jersey.  She has been a gift from the Lord, and we are full of joy to have her in the family. Stephen has just finished his second year of his master’s in theology at Princeton Theological Seminary, Courtney continues to develop her floral business, and Christopher has been working in international business in Houston, Texas. It’s been tough being so far from everyone, but we are grateful to the Lord for His faithfulness. Thanks for your prayers for the family!

New Property and Church Building in Buenos Aires

We are believing God to help us raise the needed funds for us to purchase a new building for our church in San Isidro. We believe the new property – a quarter of a city block in the heart of San Isidro – will open the doors for us to minister to the unreached in our area. We need 200 units of $5000 to be able to make the purchase.  We currently have 40 units and are still needing 160 units.  Please pray how you might help with one or more or a part of one of those units.  Thanks for standing with us in your prayers and giving!

We are “thankful” to the Lord and to each of you as we continue to “worship” and serve the Lord in Argentina in a Kingdom that “cannot be shaken”!

Yours in Christ,
