A Special Ordination Service

March was an exciting month with special activities, one young man was saved and another discipleship was started! We are getting closer to the goal of having those who we are discipling, start to disciple others! Our evangelism and discipleship ministries are fundamental parts of the church’s growth!

This month we will have another “first” in the ministry, we will be ordaining Pastor Matías Ghiette. Matías has been trained under the ministry God has given us and he is currently pastoring Faith Baptist Church in Lanús. Our Pastor, Derik Lawrence will be visiting along with one of our assistant pastors to take part in the ordination service. They will be a great blessing to both Pastor Matías and the churches. 

Faith Baptist Church will also be celebrating their 8th anniversary. We are grateful for the souls saved, christians discipled, and lives changed through the ministry. We have seen young people, meet, fall in love, and get married through the Faith Baptist Church! It is an exciting ministry and we believe her best days are ahead! Thank you for your faithful prayers and support.

Serving Together,

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

Prayer Requests

• Pray for Pastor Matías’ ordination service.
• Pray for the 8th anniversary service of Faith Baptist Church.
• Pray for our pastor as he teaches and preaches in the services of both churches and in the pastor’s fellowship.

We had several special services in February, including our bi-monthly pastor’s fellowship. I was privileged to preach in both churches and I believe the Lord worked in each service. We started a new series for our Wednesday Night Bible Studies at Hope Baptist Church, we also started discipleship with a new believer. God has been working in the ministries He has given us and we are looking forward to see how He continues to bless as we continue in 2025!

We are excited to start our Bible College Classes again this year with classes in the Old Testament, New Testament, Bible Doctrines, and practical ministry. Please pray for our Bible College students! At Faith Baptist Church, I will be preaching at their Baby Dedication Service, we already have several who will be dedicating their children, including Pastor Matías and his wife Mica. At Hope Baptist Church, Brian will have the opportunity to preach in many of the services. Brian is a young man in the Bible College. He has grown spiritually through the years and is being used greatly in the church, he and his wife Ayelen are involved in discipleship and in leading the young people in the church. Please pray for the ministries, and the leadership in the churches.

Discipleship, Growth, and Pressing Forward

We had a wonderful start to 2025, from our Vision Service to our Summer Camp at the end of the month, we are pressing forward in the ministry! I preached in both Faith and Hope Baptist Churches last month, and encouraged both churches with Bible principles to help them take the next steps by faith. Pastor Matías is doing a great job encouraging and leading the church. The theme this year at Faith is “Evangelize”, and I believe the Lord is already using the church to do so! At Hope, our theme for the year is “Walk Daily With God”. I am encouraging each believer to do so by teaching practical steps that each of us can take daily that will stimulate our knowledge and growth in Christ and increase our love for Him!

This month is another exciting month! We hope to start two new discipleship meetings with two young men who have recently started attending the church. They walk over 30 minutes to attend the church services! We will also have a Pastor’s Fellowship to help encourage other pastors and leaders to continue on for the glory of God. We are grateful to be able to serve the Lord and we are looking forward to a great month!

The Vision and Summer Camp

Both Faith and Hope Baptist Churches were blessed by the Lord in 2024, we saw people saved, baptized, and one-on-one discipleship relationships started. We had great events in both churches and we are anticipating great things from the Lord in 2025!

Pastor Matías is leading Faith Baptist Church and he and the ministry directors have planned out the year. At Hope Baptist Church, we are kicking off the year with our annual Vision Service, when we share the theme for the year, “Daily Walking with God”. This service is one of the highlights of the year and we are praying that the Lord will use it! At the end of this month we will have our annual summer camp. Both churches will be participating in our camp, this is a chance to get away from all the other things going on in life and focus in on our faith. We have great things planned for 2025, including the ordination of Pastor Matías, hosting pastor fellowships as well as a special marriage conference with other churches, and continuing the ministries of evangelism and discipleship. We will also continue our Bible College ministry and are adding more classes! Thank you for praying for the ministry God has given us!
