Summer, COVID, and Vacation Bible School

It was a complicated January in Argentina. There was a significant increase of COVID in the country, the number of cases increased by over 500% in one day! Faith Baptist Church was forced to have online services for a week. There was also a heat wave in January with record-breaking temperatures! With all of this going on, Matías is doing a great job pastoring the church!

Faith Baptist Church will have its annual VBS this month. It is our big outreach for the month. Pray with us that COVID does not keep the church from holding this special event. We hope to have other special events that we had to cancel in January. 

I had the opportunity to talk with Leandro, one of the guys in the church who was training in the Bible College. Leandro is always an encouragement. He is a witness, testifying of Jesus to his friends and family, and he is a blessing to the church. Leandro’s hours at work have increased, so he is not able to attend our midweek services anymore. He is still able to attend Sunday morning services, but not much else. He is discouraged, and wants to continue to grow and live for Jesus. Pray for Leandro as he continues to serve Jesus! Thank you for your faithful prayers and support!

Serving Together,

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

Prayer Requests

• Pray for Matías as he pastors Faith Baptist Church. 
• Pray for Leandro as he continues to serve Jesus.
• Pray for our VBS this month.
• Pray for our furlough. 

We left Argentina for our furlough over two months ago. Matías is pastoring the church and doing a great job. We have had COVID problems over the past month, we have seen a spike in Argentina, and God has been faithful through it all. I am thankful for the work that God is doing in and through Matías. Eric is by his side along with other faithful members of the church.

We will be in Florida this Sunday. We are grateful for the opportunity to share what God has done in the ministry in Argentina and what we hope to see in the future.

There has been a strong outbreak of COVID in Argentina. This has affected church attendance at Faith Baptist Church. They had to move to online services last week. God is still good. They were able to gather together to have our Thursday service last night. Pray with me for Pastor Matías and the leadership team at Faith Baptist Church as they continue to advance the Gospel. Matías is doing a great job, as are the other men in the church. January and February are summer months in Argentina, and are usually months where we see a lower attendance. This is normal, but we want to step out and grow and search out others to win them to Jesus! Pray that God works through Matías and Faith Baptist Church!

With each new year there are new goals, new hopes, and new beginnings. This year is our furlough. We look forward to share what God has done in our first term with our supporting churches as well as with new churches we have not yet partnered with. We are grateful for everyone of you. We pray that 2022 be a year of great spiritual growth for each of you! We don’t know what 2022 holds, but we trust in the One who does!

Happy New Year!
