An Exciting Kid’s Festival and Kid’s Day

At Hope Baptist Church, we had our Kid’s Festival and Kid’s Day Service in August,
and both were a great blessing. We had a great number of families participate in the
Kid’s Festival, Pastor Brian (preached a clear presentation of the Gospel, we believe
we had many who heard the Gospel for the first time! The following day we had our
Kid’s Day Service and we had several first time visitors present.

We have several special events going on this month. At Hope Baptist Church we will
have our Family Photo Day, this has been a tremendous day at Fatih Baptist Church
and believe the Lord will bless it at Hope as well. We will also begin our 13 week
Bible Classes this month, with two classes (a Ladies Class and a Mens Class).
These classes are a chance for the men and women of the church to use their
spiritual gifts by teaching one of the classes.

Leslie and I will be accompanying missionaries Robbie and Lauren Prater on their
survey trip to Paraguay. The Praters have been with us now for 1 1/2 years, they
have completed language school and cultural acquisition, and with the Lord’s
blessing will be starting a church in Asunción, Paraguay next year. Please pray for
the specific events going on in the ministries of Faith and Hope Baptist Church as
well as the future ministry of the Prater family.

Salvation and Service

We are so blessed to serve our King! July was a month of activities, and we saw fruit from our efforts. We completed the English Classes, and although no one has yet been saved, the Gospel was presented clearly multiple times. We know God is not bound by time, and He will continue to work in the hearts of those who heard His Word. We had our Friend Day service, which was also in-line with the English Class graduation service. Missionary Robbie Prater preached a very clear presentation of the Gospel, we had a number of visitors that morning and I believe many heard the Gospel presented clearly for the first time. We also had a young lady named Juana, who has attended the services for over a year, she put her faith in Jesus for salvation! She has been faithfully taught by the ladies in Bible Classes and in other settings as well as in the services of the church. We sat down with her last month and shared the Gospel in great detail, but she did not want to believe, we have been praying and God answered our prayers, she came to me and asked if we could speak, we took her aside, after hearing the Gospel again, she believed on Jesus with tears in her eyes!! What a loving God we have!

We will have a Kid’s Festival this month and a special kids service on “Kid’s Day”. Please be praying for all the things going on in the ministry that God has given us!

Our Upcoming Friend Day

June was an incredible month with special days at both churches, but the highlight was the 3rd anniversary of Hope Baptist Church, it was an exciting service and the Lord worked in the hearts of those who attended. We also celebrated Father’s Day with our first “Pancakes with Dad” breakfast before the service. It also was a special service and something we plan on doing each year. We have also continued the English Classes as an evangelistic outreach and we have had people visit the church because of the classes! Missionary Robbie Prater has done a great job with the classes and we hope to see people saved as a result this month! We had our men’s fellowship meeting and our pastor’s fellowship meeting as well in June. Pastor Matías and I both preached in the pastor’s fellowship and I believe it was a blessing to all who attended!

Friend Day is our special event this month at Hope Baptist Church. This will be an opportunity to invite friends and family to a special service (Friend Day is an actual celebrated day in Argentina). Thank you for praying for the ministry in Argentina.

One of the highlights of this past month was the English Classes that were started at Hope Baptist Church. In the English Classes we share the Gospel with the students, the classes include people who do not attend the church, and are hearing the Gospel for the first time. Please pray that the Lord continues to use the classes to bring people to Jesus.

This month we will be celebrating the third anniversary of Hope Baptist Church. The church is growing, christians are growing, and we have seen people saved! We are looking forward to celebrating the church’s anniversary and continue to work to reach the lost and disciple the saved. This month will also be a milestone for Hope Baptist Church. We will have our first two believers complete our discipleship program. They will complete all the lessons, they will have memorized over 25 Bible verses, and have written out the books of 1 John and Mark word for word. They are engaged in evangelism and are already discipling others, we are grateful for the milestones we are seeing in the ministry! Thank you for praying for the ministry God has given us!
