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!
July 2024 Prayer Letter
Developing Leaders and Family Changes
Hope Baptist Church celebrated their second anniversary last month and we had a tremendous day with record attendance! It was great to see how the Lord is blessing in this new church plant and we are thankful to have a part in it!
Faith Baptist Church will have their annual missions conference this month and I will have the privilege to preach one of the services! They will have a church planter in La Plata (a city one hour away from Lanús) who will be preaching as well. Pray with us for the missions conference.
We are blessed to have four daughters, our oldest daughter, Lily, recently graduated high school, and we will be returning to the States to take her to college. Lily loves Jesus, loves life, and is a very wise young woman, please pray for her (and for us) in this new stage of life. We will be in the States for three months, Pastor Matías will continue to lead Faith Baptist Church and Brian will be guiding the ministry at Hope Baptist Church in our absence. We have been preparing these men for this time, and I believe that they will serve the Lord faithfully in this capacity. Please pray for Lily, our family, and the ministry over the next few months.
Serving Together,
Patrick, Leslie, Lily, Piper, Ivy, and Isla Henry
Prayer Requests
- Pray for the ministry during our short time in the States.
- Pray for Lily as she begins this new stage of life.

June 2024 Missions Letter
Celebrating the Second Anniversary of Hope Baptist Church
We enjoyed the time with the visitors we had in May, we were able to help survey the city of Córdoba, and take two of the three visiting groups around Buenos Aires. We also continued our discipleship efforts at Hope Baptist Church, and are continuing the semester at the Bible College. We are thankful for how the Lord continues to bless the ministry!
This month we will be celebrating the second anniversary at Hope Baptist Church, we have a special service planned, we will have a choir, a video to look back on the past two years, special testimonies, and an encouraging Bible message. We will have a special fellowship afterwards. We will also have a special Father’s Day service this month, this will be an excellent opportunity to invite family for those who are attending the church faithfully. Please pray for both of these special services. Faith Baptist Church will also have a special service for Father’s Day, Pastor Matías is doing a great job leading the church and is actively encouraging the church family to share their faith and to walk with the Lord daily.
Serving Together,
Patrick, Leslie, Lily, Piper, Ivy, and Isla Henry
Prayer Requests
- Pray for the second anniversary service of Hope Baptist Church.

May 2024 Missions Letter
April was a wonderful month of growth. Hope Baptist Church recently had the largest attended services in the church’s almost two year history! We also have been helping the Prater family set up as they will begin their language learning shortly. Emilee Coffee has been with us as an intern for almost three months and has progressed in the language and has been a blessing to Hope Baptist Church and to our family. Faith Baptist Church celebrated her 7th anniversary in April with a beautiful service led by Pastor Matías. April was a wonderful month in the ministry God has given us!
This month the ministry continues and we will be hosting guests who will be visiting as potential future missionaries. Our first visitors will be Pastor DeKoker and a young man from the church he pastors. We will be helping them survey two major cities, Buenos Aires and Córdoba. After their visit, will host a young lady, Julie, who recently graduated from Bible College. Julie is praying about where God would have her serve and is considering Argentina. On top of all of this the ministries of both Faith and Hope Baptist Churches continue advancing! We are in a very busy season and we are grateful that the Lord has given us these things to steward for His glory! Thank you for being a part of this ministry!
Serving Together,
Patrick, Leslie, Lily, Piper, Ivy, and Isla Henry
