We are the Henry family. We have been serving Jesus as missionaries in Argentina since 2016. My wife Leslie and I have four beautiful daughters who serve the Lord alongside us. We are planting churches and training men to advance the Gospel in Argentina and around the world. It is not always easy, but God has been with us every step of our journey! He is so good to us! This blog is designed to take you on the journey with us. We have posts ranging from quick updates, to unique cultural norms and mores, to thoughts on world evangelism, to our monthly prayer letters. Our blog is updated often, be sure to check back and go on this journey with us!

The Ministry Continues and Special Visitors
May was a great month with wonderful blessings. The highlight of the month was a new couples class, we started the class off with 11 couples! Pray for this class as it continues!
This is a special month for us because a group from our home church will be coming to see the ministry. We will be hosting 22 brothers and sisters from Victory Baptist Church in Loganville, GA! Pastor Lawrence will be among the group and he will be preaching in several of our services. We are grateful for the opportunity to host them. We have been preparing for our special Father’s Day Service. Each father present will receive a special gift and Pastor Lawrence will be preaching the service that morning. Pray with us that the church family will be encouraged and that God will use the Gospel message to work in the hearts of those who are visiting! We will also have a special teen service and married couple fellowship while our Pastor is here. Please pray for Faith Baptist Church and the many special services this month as well as the group from our home church! Thank you for your faithful prayers and support!
Serving Together,
Patrick, Leslie, Lily, Piper, Ivy, and Isla Henry

Quick Update: New Couples Class
We had our first ever couples class on Tuesday! I have been really excited about this new class and it was a great start! There were 11 couples present, which made up a diverse group, from couples who are preparing to get married, to young married couples, to couples who have been married for over 20 years! We were able to share 10 principles for a healthy marriage. Everyone seem to really enjoy the fellowship and are eager to work on their marriages/relationships. Pray with us for the couples class and for the couples who are attending!

May 2023 Missions Letter
A Beautiful Church Anniversary and an Upcoming Banquet
Our Easter Conference was a great blessing with visitors who heard the Gospel, some of them for the first time. We are praying that the Lord will continue to work in the hearts of those who visited and that they will soon Believe on Jesus for their salvation. We also celebrated the 6th anniversary of Faith Baptist Church! We had beautiful testimonies, a church choir with specials throughout the morning service, and a Bible message to encourage the young church! The church was decorated beautifully, including a timeline of photos through the years! We ended the service with a special fellowship to celebrate God’s goodness, faithfulness, and blessings for the past six years!
We will have our “Levi’s Banquet” in May. This is a church-wide banquet and we will provide a free lunch to all who attend. This is an evangelistic event, we have specific invitations made for it and we are praying that God gives us a great number of visitors to hear the Gospel preached! Pray with us for this special event. We will also be starting a special Couples’ Class in May. There are several young couples in the church, some with children, others just starting out in marriage, and this class will be an excellent opportunity for them to learn how to honor God in their marriage/family! Thank you for your faithful prayers and support!
Serving Together,
Patrick, Leslie, Lily, Piper, Ivy, and Isla Henry
Prayer Requests
• Pray for the annual Levi’sBanquet.
• Pray for the new couples’ class.
• Pray for the Bible College students as we continue the semester.
Quick Update: The Autumn Ladies Fellowship
It is Autumn in Argentina, although you would not know it with the current temperatures (80º F), you can see it with the leaves changing. It may seem strange to experience Fall in April/May, but such is life in the Southern Hemisphere. The ladies at Faith Baptist Church will have there special ladies fellowship tomorrow. There will be several new ladies who will be coming for the first time. Please pray with us that this fellowship will be a blessing.
Missionary Stephen Underwood has returned back to the States for a few weeks and has asked us to help with the church they planted last year until he returns (Hope Baptist Church in Ezeiza). We are honored to be able to help! We are able to be at Faith Baptist Church on Thursday nights and will be starting a new class there soon on Tuesdays (we will share more on that in May), but on Sundays we are at Hope Baptist Church for the next few weeks. There is a young girl named Abi who visited the church last week. Leslie shared the Gospel with her, but she did not get saved. Pray with us that she would be saved soon!
Thank you for praying for us!

Patrick, Leslie, Lily, Piper, Ivy, and Isla Henry
