I am in the midst of a series on cultural adjustments, but I break from it because I am in Córdoba, Argentina. This is about 8 hours from where we live. I am with Raleigh and Cassie Hill. They are missionaries currently on deputation who are on their survey trip to Argentina. They were very interested in knowing about Córdoba and thus the reason for me being here. Córdoba is the second largest city in Argentina with 1.5 million people in the city and metro area. We arrived last nights so I do not have much to go on, but I am looking forward to meeting with a missionary who is currently here and learning about the city, the areas where the city is growing, what parts of the city already have churches, etc. We will be meeting in just a few hours. I am sure we will learn that the opportunities here abound for church planting. Next week I will post about what we have learned while being here in Córdoba and hopefully better present what God is already doing here as well as opportunities to advance the Gospel further. As I look out the window of the room place we are staying it is clearly a large city with many people. Stay tuned for more in the coming week…

The next few weeks will include special posts about several different topics as well as our return to our current series. Coming up…

• A review of Córdoba
• The Summit New England (I am looking forward to this one!!!)
• The Summit South East (This is another great event we have coming up)
• The King Family (A new family serving in Argentina as missionaries)
• and of course, more “adjustments”

Faith Baptist Church in Spring

We enjoyed and were blessed by having missionary Jason Holt with us last month. He encouraged and challenged me with different ideas to implement in our young church plant. We started on some of those things this month. God is working in the hearts of many who are faithfully coming to church!

This month the Jason King family will arrive to start language school. We are very excited to have them with us. I have known Jason for years. I believe God is going to use him greatly in Argentina and in Faith Baptist Church as he and Ashley complete their studies in the language.

The ministry is very busy here. It’s all about Jesus.

Serving Together,

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

• Pray for the King family as they arrive this month.

• Pray for the salvation of some of the people who have been faithfully attending, but have not yet received Jesus.

• Pray for more visitors to come to Faith Baptist Church.

• Pray as this infant church continues to grow.

Raleigh and Cassie Hill are coming down for their survey trip. They are in the midst of deputation and will be here for the next 13 days. In these 13 days, we will take them to Córdoba (the second largest city in Argentina), Mar del Plata (another large city on the coast), La Plata (the city we currently live in), and of course Buenos Aires and the southern zone of Buenos Aires (where we have planted Faith Baptist Church). This will be a time for this couple to learn a little about the culture, meet some of the great people we have come to know and love. They will be arriving in just a few hours. In fact, as I am typing out this blog, Raleigh and Cassie are in Lima, Peru awaiting their flight to Argentina. Here are a few things you can pray about concerning the Hill Family.

• God will keep them (and us) safe with all of the traveling that will be going on in the next 13 days.
• God will keep their children safe as they are back in the States with their grandparents.
• Raleigh and Cassie will learn more about the culture and will enjoy the time they have here.
• They will get an idea of day to day life here as missionaries in Argentina.
• They will return to the States excited to complete the remainder of their deputation so that they can arrive to the field for language school.

After 13 days, the Hill family will be returning to the States. That same day we will be welcoming the Jason King family, but this is for another post (one that will be coming very soon).

This weekend starts in just a few hours, like most every weekend. My wife and I will be sitting around the table of a couple who is faithfully attending the church. We will be continuing our weekly discipleship. I am excited about this opportunity. This couple is special to us, I believe God is working in their hearts in a very special way. Tomorrow morning I will be at the church for another time of discipleship with another man who is attending the church. Sunday we will be learning about Barnabas in the morning service and Abraham in the evening service. Although there is not anything special going on we still believe it will be a great weekend!
