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!

Serving Together,

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

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!

Finishing the Year Right!

We arrived back in Argentina last month, and we jumped back into the ministry immediately. It was encouraging to see the growth in both churches during our absence. We held the first ever Pastor/Leader Fellowship at Faith Baptist Church and it was a big success! We plan to have our next fellowship in February in a new church plant in La Plata. We are praying for these pastors and leaders as God uses them to guide the churches under their stewardship.

This month we are focussing on finishing the year right, with a number of events going on this month. We will be completing the semester of the Bible College (we are already planning for next semester!). We will have a planning meeting for Hope Baptist Church with a few leaders, we will be going over next year’s themes, goals, and we will plan out the events for the year! Pastor Matías will be doing the same for Faith Baptist Church with the leadership there! We will also have our Christmas service on December 22, this has always been a great opportunity to invite others to the church and we are praying for the Lord to use it! We also have the final service of the year, on December 29, we will celebrate the year’s end with our “Empanada Night”, it will be a special fellowship that we all look forward to. As always, there is a lot going on, thank you for your faithful prayers and support!

Back in Argentina

We return to Argentina this month, it has been great to be in the United States, in our home church and in a few of the churches that support us. Although we are returning to Argentina without our oldest daughter Lily (who is now in college), we are looking forward to returning to the ministry God has given us! While we were in the States, the ministry in Argentina continued under the leadership of Matías and Brian, who led the churches under our stewardship. They have seen people saved, an increase in attendance, and new believers begin our discipleship program! It is encouraging to see how the Lord is working through these men and in both churches!

This month we will have our first “Pastors Fellowship”, this will include the men who are training to be pastors, the men who pastored in our absence, and a few other pastors of churches in the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires. We are excited about this meeting and are praying the Lord use it to encourage each pastor and that it creates a strong bond between us. This first meeting will be held at Faith Baptist Church! We will also be starting new Bible classes at Hope Baptist Church, and we are excited to see how the Lord uses them! Thank you for your faithful prayers and support, we are truly serving together to advance the Gospel!
