Looking Back – 2014

December 30, 2014 by Patrick Leave a Comment

This year has been an interesting year to say the least.  We started deputation as church planters to Argentina in March.  Since then, we have been traveling from the east coast to the west coast to share our burden to reach Argentina and the world with the Gospel of Jesus!  We have been in 18 states this year.  We have partnered with churches all along the way and have many churches that have committed to partner with us in the near future.  In all of this I must say, God is amazing!

A question comes to my mind, “What stands out the most in all that has happened this year?

This is a hard question to answer.  We have seen God provide, we have been in wonderful churches, we have experienced great encouragement and criticism, we are receiving great training, all in all it has been incredible!  It is difficult to narrow 2014 down to the most memorable moment.  If I had to pick one thing, I would have to say our survey trip to Argentina.  What I saw so burns with in me!  I want to be there so badly!  We were only there a few days, but in those short days, we saw the 5 churches that were started by missionary Jeff Bush and the Argentine men he trained.  The churches in La Plata are going strong!  People are being saved, men are being trained, God is being glorified!

Statistics tell us that anywhere from 90%-96% of the people of Argentina are lost.  That being true, we must proclaim the Gospel of Jesus and train men to see all of Argentina believe on Jesus for salvation.  The need is far greater than anything I could ever attempt and yet I know in Christ miraculous things are ahead!

Our survey trip to Argentina is the most memorable event in 2014, and I thank Jesus for it!

The impossibility of reaching every soul in the world with the Gospel of Jesus vanishes away in the almighty power of God who loves us enough to make a way to Him (through Jesus) and who empowers our insufficient efforts to actually change the world!

The best years in world evangelism are ahead.
