August 2025 Missions Letter

Salvation and Service

We are so blessed to serve our King! July was a month of activities, and we saw fruit from our efforts. We completed the English Classes, and although no one has yet been saved, the Gospel was presented clearly multiple times. We know God is not bound by time, and He will continue to work in the hearts of those who heard His Word. We had our Friend Day service, which was also in-line with the English Class graduation service. Missionary Robbie Prater preached a very clear presentation of the Gospel, we had a number of visitors that morning and I believe many heard the Gospel presented clearly for the first time. We also had a young lady named Juana, who has attended the services for over a year, she put her faith in Jesus for salvation! She has been faithfully taught by the ladies in Bible Classes and in other settings as well as in the services of the church. We sat down with her last month and shared the Gospel in great detail, but she did not want to believe, we have been praying and God answered our prayers, she came to me and asked if we could speak, we took her aside, after hearing the Gospel again, she believed on Jesus with tears in her eyes!! What a loving God we have!

We will have a Kid’s Festival this month and a special kids service on “Kid’s Day”. Please be praying for all the things going on in the ministry that God has given us!

Serving Together,

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

Prayer Requests

  • Pray for our evangelism and discipleship programs. 
  • Pray for Juana as she begins her new life in Christ.
  • Pray for the Kid’s Festival and “Kid’s Day” service.

Our Upcoming Friend Day

June was an incredible month with special days at both churches, but the highlight was the 3rd anniversary of Hope Baptist Church, it was an exciting service and the Lord worked in the hearts of those who attended. We also celebrated Father’s Day with our first “Pancakes with Dad” breakfast before the service. It also was a special service and something we plan on doing each year. We have also continued the English Classes as an evangelistic outreach and we have had people visit the church because of the classes! Missionary Robbie Prater has done a great job with the classes and we hope to see people saved as a result this month! We had our men’s fellowship meeting and our pastor’s fellowship meeting as well in June. Pastor Matías and I both preached in the pastor’s fellowship and I believe it was a blessing to all who attended!

Friend Day is our special event this month at Hope Baptist Church. This will be an opportunity to invite friends and family to a special service (Friend Day is an actual celebrated day in Argentina). Thank you for praying for the ministry in Argentina.

Serving Together,

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

June 2025 Missions Letter

June 1, 2025 by Patrick Leave a Comment

One of the highlights of this past month was the English Classes that were started at Hope Baptist Church. In the English Classes we share the Gospel with the students, the classes include people who do not attend the church, and are hearing the Gospel for the first time. Please pray that the Lord continues to use the classes to bring people to Jesus.

This month we will be celebrating the third anniversary of Hope Baptist Church. The church is growing, christians are growing, and we have seen people saved! We are looking forward to celebrating the church’s anniversary and continue to work to reach the lost and disciple the saved. This month will also be a milestone for Hope Baptist Church. We will have our first two believers complete our discipleship program. They will complete all the lessons, they will have memorized over 25 Bible verses, and have written out the books of 1 John and Mark word for word. They are engaged in evangelism and are already discipling others, we are grateful for the milestones we are seeing in the ministry! Thank you for praying for the ministry God has given us!

Serving Together,

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

A New Pastor Ordained and an Anniversary Service

We had a blessed month of April in the ministry. Our Pastor, Derik Lawrence, came with his wife and our missions director to be a part of the ordination council and service of Pastor Matías. This was our first time ordaining a man in the ministry God has given us and it was a great blessing. Both Matías, his family, Faith Baptist Church, and Leslie and I were blessed by the ordination service. Pastor, Mrs. Lawrence, and our mission director were also a great blessing to our family, we were encouraged by their visit! Our Pastor was also able to preach at our pastors’ fellowship, and at both Faith and Hope Baptist Churches. Faith Baptist Church also celebrated their eighth anniversary, which fell on Easter Sunday. I am thankful for how the Lord continues to work in the ministry at Faith and how the Lord is using Pastor Matías and the other believers in the church!

We continue the ministry this month with a few special events, Leslie will be teaching at a ladies fellowship, we will also be starting English Classes as an evangelistic tool in Hope Baptist Church. Missionary Robbie Prater will be teaching the classes. God continues to bless His work and we are grateful!

Serving Together, 

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

Prayer Requests

  • Pray for our evangelistic and discipleship programs.
  • Pray for Leslie and the Ladies Fellowship she will be teaching.
  • Pray for the English Classes to bring people to faith in Jesus.
