Tomorrow we will hold our last Vacation Bible School service. We were able to review the last lesson with the teacher last night before our midweek service. It is encouraging to see the teachers excited to teach God’s Word to their classes! We are praying to see people saved! Sunday we will have a special fellowship after the evening service. These times are something the church looks forward to!

Prayer Request

• I met a man named Omar. He and I spoke for some time about Jesus, the Christian life, and a few other things. He lives about 10 blocks from the church. I invited him and hope to see him soon! Pray with me that we have another opportunity to talk.
• I was in the home of Leonardo and Alejandra this week. It was the first time I have met them. We were able to talk about Jesus, salvation, and the church. Leonardo may be saved, I am not sure, but based on the conversation I don’t believe Alejandra is. They have a daughter, Shaila, who is 6 years old. She is supposed to come to our VBS service and they all are supposed to come to one of the services on Sunday. Pray for this family.

Today we had our Vacation Bible School. The kids are learning more about the Gospel. Next Saturday will be the final day of VBS. Pray with us that God works in the heart of each child. Tomorrow will be another special day in our church. One of the guys who are training for the ministry will be teaching the verse of the week. We have practiced it several times. I am excited for him. He has done it a couple of times before and I think he is improving! The other young man who is training will be teaching “the three”, an emphasis on a county in the southern zone of Buenos Aires, a province (or a state) in Argentina, and a country in the world. We do this each service to focus on the need around us, around Argentina, and around the world. Both men are serving in the church as they train for the ministry!

We are looking forward to another great day at Faith Baptist Church!

Last week we had our first Vacation Bible School service and we were excited to see a good attendance. It was also exciting to see the members of our young church get involved teaching lessons and Bible verses! Tomorrow we will have our second service. Pray with us as we continue to teach biblical salvation to these kids and youth.

We had our Vision Sunday last week. We unveiled our theme for 2020, “focus”. We will be putting our focus on important things this year like Jesus, marriage, family, spiritual growth and several other themes. This Sunday will be the start of our focus theme. We will be focusing on starting the year right. We are praying for a great year. We believe God is at work. Thank you for praying for us.

A New Year Comes With New Goals

We had a wonderful December and Christmas season. We had new discipleship classes started as well as others that completed our primary classes. We also had two new converts baptized! We had several first-time visitors throughout the month and we had a special Christmas Sunday that also was a big success. We ended the year with one last special service where we looked back on an incredible 2019 and prayed that God will use and build us in 2020. 

January will start out with our Vision Sunday. It will be a chance to go over the goals for this year. We will give out calendars with all the events for 2020, unveil the theme for the year, and challenge the church to step out and step up for Jesus. January and February are both Summer months in Argentina and for us that means Vacation Bible School. Each Saturday in January we will be putting on special classes for ages 5 – 15. These classes will focus on salvation and a very basic Bible lessons. We will also have games and provide a small lunch. We are praying that God will use this year’s Vacation Bible School to see more people saved! 

Serving Together,

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