A New Year with New Goals and New Opportunities!

Happy New Year! We are excited about 2024 and what the Lord has for us! 2023 was a wonderful year of growth and development, we are trusting the Lord for great things in 2024! We have many goals for this year, and we look forward to sharing them with you in the next months!

This year starts off with our annual Vision service. This is a time where we look back over the past year and look forward to this year. We will share the theme for 2024, the specific goals we have and how we plan to reach those goals. This year’s theme is Discipleship, something we have emphasized since we started the church, and something we want to take to the next level. Please pray for the Vision and the discipleship program.

We will also have our second annual camp this month. We learned so much from camp on last year, and we are looking forward to this time with the church family. The young men who are training for the ministry are heading up camp this year, and they have everything prepared for it to be a success! Thank you for your faithful prayers and support.

Prayer Requests

• Pray for the Vision service.

This Sunday will be our last service of the year, and we will be observing the two ordinances of the church, baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Pablo has been attending the church for several months now, two weeks ago we sat down and I shared with him the plan of salvation, that morning Pablo received Jesus as His Savior! We sat down last week and I taught him what baptism is (and what it is not). Pablo will be getting baptized on Sunday!

Isis is a young lady who visited us on December 24. I preached on the birth of Jesus and why He came to earth, to die for our sins. Isis came up to me after the service and told me she wanted to be saved! Leslie and I took her to the office and she received Jesus as her Savior that morning! We are grateful to see how God is working in the church. Please pray for Pablo and Isis as they begin their new lives in Christ!

This time of year is a time when we have special events to end the year, it is an exciting time for all the different ministries in the church! The ladies ministry will have their special end of the year event tomorrow! Leslie and the ladies will have games, songs, prizes, and a special Bible lesson. Please pray for this event. 

On Sunday morning, Lautaro, one of the young men in the Bible College, will preach his first 15 minute message in the church. He and I have gone over the message, I am so grateful to have a small part in what the Lord is doing in his life! Please pray for Lautaro. 

Thank you for faithfully praying for the ministry God has given us!!

Christmas Celebration and Coming to the End of 2023

November was our missions month and we had a wonderful mission conference with guest pastor, Hernan Cortez of Berean Baptist Church in Berisso. I believe the church was challenged and encouraged by Pastor Hernan. The guys who are training in the Bible College also came over last month for our annual planning day, a time when we plan the following year. I was able to do some vision casting and encouragement in each of their specific ministries that they are leading. There is much to do and we are excited about it!

We will have our big Christmas service this month. Traditionally it is one of our most attended services of the year. We will have banners hung up across streets, and special invitations to give to family and friends. Please pray for this special event. We are praying for souls to be saved. Our Evangelism ministry is going well and we have the goal of handing an invitation out to every house within a kilometer of our church (this will be thousands and thousands of houses)! We still have a long way to go before we achieve this goal, pray for us in this evangelistic outreach. We will end the year with our “Empanada Night”, something the church has come to love! Pray with us that we finish this year in a way that glorifies God in every way! Thank you for praying for us!
