We are in Quarantine. The quarantine is police enforced. It was just extended until April 26. Our family is well. We are able to have our church services online (via Facebook live). Tomorrow is our Easter service and we look forward to reaching out to all those who will be “attending” the service from their homes. We are trying to look at this as an opportunity, because maybe somebody will watch the service from their couch who wouldn’t normally enter the church.

The members (and those who regularly attend our services) seem encouraged. Argentina is already struggling economically and COVID-19 is making it difficult for people to work. This is a hard time for everyone, but God is in control.

Thank you for praying for us. Even from home we have the opportunity to celebrate Jesus´ resurrection. Even from home it’s all about Jesus!

I have great news! The Vision Baptist Missionaries in Latin America have just written a book about the need and ministry in this part of the world. The book is now available on Amazon. You can buy the book on Kindle (or for the Kindle app) today or tomorrow for FREE!!! There are no strings attached, it is a special offer, a free copy, without any commitments or hoops to jump through.

Please click here to receive your free copy of “Unfinished”. We believe the Lord will use this book to encourage and challenge you.

Falling Back Into The Routine

In March we started the seminary back up from Summer break. We have three students who are training in the Bible College. We also had our annual Levi’s Banquet which was a huge blessing. Please be praying God continues to work in the hearts for those who attended. We have two men in particular that are on the cusp of really giving their all to Jesus. Dario is married and lives far away, but wants to serve Jesus. Eric is single and lives very close but because of his work schedule, he is not able to be at church faithfully. Both men want to serve Jesus, but are facing challenges that keep them from doing so. Pray that God works in them. 

This month we will have our Easter services. The week of Easter is a great opportunity to invite people to church. Some seem more “open” during the Easter weekend. We will also have our Missions Director, Jeffrey Bush and Mission Board President, Austin Gardner with us at the end of the month. They will be preaching in the services and teaching in Bible College. This will be a special blessing for our church and other like-minded churches around the area. 

Serving Together,

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

I type this blog post from my home where I have been since March 20. We are under a national quarantine. Only one person per family is allowed to leave and that is only to got to a local store or pharmacy. The military police are out and stopping people to confirm where they live and where they are going. Over 8,000 people have been arrested during this quarantine for breaking the quarantine rules.

Although we are not allowed to hold services that does not stop us from filming are three services per week and sharing devotional thoughts each day. We are also in contact with members and faithful attenders of our church during the week. Two of the young men training for the ministry are a part of each filmed service and are reaching out to the church family as well.

At the posting of this update, the quarantine is scheduled to end on Wednesday, but the news is reporting that President Fernandez will be extending the quarantine, but nothing is official yet. Thank you for praying for us.
