Yesterday was a special day in our ministry. It was the 4 year anniversary of the church plant!!! I spent the morning meditating over how God has worked since that first church service. We had somewhere around 25 people in the first service. Of those 25 (outside of my family) there is only one man who still attends the church! Today we have average between 40-50 people in our services, we have three men training for the ministry who are actively involved in each service, and the church is growing! God is blessing and He has been so good to us!

We were going to celebrate our 4th anniversary tomorrow in our Sunday morning service, but we have been forced to cancel the service. On Wednesday night, the President of Argentina announced that we would be returning to stricter restrictions, which include cancelling church services (and any other form of gathering) as well as a curfew amongst other things. These new restrictions are supposed to last 15 days (after which the president and his cabinet will review the state of things).

We continue on, we are back to having virtual services. Pray with us that God continues to work in our church.

March was a very busy month at Faith Baptist Church. We were able to resume our midweek services, this was after a year of not being able to meet on Thursday nights! Now we are meeting Sunday mornings, Thursday nights, and Friday nights (youth group service). Our hope is to be able to start back up our evangelism on Saturdays and add our Sunday evening services. We were also able to start discipleship with two new people and also baptized two believers. The ladies had a beautiful fellowship where one of the ladies in the church taught a lesson on Hannah. The highlight of the month was our Mission Conference. It was the first multi-service event we have had since the quarantine. The church was challenged to do more for Jesus, set their eyes on Jesus and on the need in Argentina and around the world.

We start off April with our Easter Conference. This is a big event in our church. We also will start the Bible College back up this month. We have three young men training for the ministry. Pray for them with us. They also are serving in each service and in the church during the week. I believe one of the highlights of the month will be the celebration of the 4th Anniversary of the church! Much is going on, and we are trusting God to work in it all!

Serving Together,

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

Today is a special day for Faith Baptist Church. One of the young men who is training for the ministry and his wife have just welcomed a baby boy! This is an exciting time for them and for us, because they met each other in the church. Please pray for these new parents, Matías and Mica and their new baby boy, Gioavanni. 

We had visitors last night at our third midweek service since the quarantine. We will have our Friday night youth service tonight. We also look forward to Sunday, Eric, one of the young men training for the ministry, will be preaching a short message during the service! Thank you for praying for us. 

We started our missions conference last night. This is the first event we have had apart from our Sunday morning services and our Friday night youth nights since the quarantine. Missionary/Pastor Freddy Paz from Peru preached the service and emphasized the need in Peru. Tonight we will have Pastor Jorge Rodriguez from Paraguay. Pastor Jorge will preach a Bible message and will also be emphasizing the need in Paraguay. We will conclude the missions conference on Sunday with a special emphasis on Argentina. We are grateful to be able to have the conference this year. Pray with us that God continues to work in the services.
