Back to Church!

After being in quarantine for over 200 days, we finally were able to have our first church service in October! We are now able to continue with weekly services! We have to follow several rules. We have our chairs appropriately distanced from each other and everyone has on masks. We are doing all we can to take the proper precautions so that we can continue to meet. Not all of Argentina is able to have services yet (not even all of Buenos Aires). The quarantine still continues, even for us. Our specific city (Lanús) is allowing these small services with many conditions. Our church family is very happy to be able to meet together again!

During the quarantine we have seen several people saved! Members of the church are sharing the Gospel with family and friends and we are seeing the fruit from it. We have some that are being discipled, and we hope to see the others start discipleship soon! 

As for now we have one physical church service per week, one ladies discipleship class, and various other one on one discipleship sessions. This month we hope to be able to start more weekly services. Thank you for praying for us.

Serving Together,

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

Prayer Requests

• Pray for our services.  
• Pray for our discipleship classes. 
• Pray for our virtual services as they continue.  
• Pray for those who have been saved during the quarantine. 

This Sunday will be our third Sunday to have services. We are so thankful for the opportunity to be able to meet together as a church family! We have several families of the church who watch the services online because of the threat of the corona virus. We also have faithful families who are attending and growing each week. We have a few young men who are serving in some capacity in the services for the first time! Please continue to pray for us as we continue forward.

Yesterday was a special day! We were able to have our first church service since March 19! While we are still under quarantine, we were able to have a small church service, with many guidelines. Even though we were able to meet, we still had several families who decided to watch the service via Facebook. We are thankful for the opportunity to start back up with “in-person” services.

Pray with us that God continues to work in Faith Baptist Church.

The Ministry in Quarantine

We have been in quarantine for over 6 months now! The devil is attacking, but God is blessing. While some in the Faith Baptist Church have fallen into sin, and others have grown more and more discouraged, others still are growing and taking massive steps forward! There are all kinds of rumors as to when the quarantine will end and will the country will finally open up. As of yet nothing is confirmed. Even so, the ministry continues on. I would like to share two examples to illustrate God’s goodness.

Two young men who were attending the church before the quarantine now are stepping in to serve. I have seen the spiritual growth of both young men during these six months, and they both express the desire to step out more. 

Even though we cannot meet, the church still has bills we have to pay. Obviously, they are much less than normal, but we have to pay them. To make matters worse Argentina is in the beginning of an economic crisis! Many brothers and sisters in the church have faithfully given during these six months. This is a small, but important issue that shows they are taking the responsibility to sustain the church seriously. God is working and we are blessed!
