This weekend we are in northern Argentina, southern Brazil, and eastern Paraguay. These three countries meet to make a “triple border”. Faith Baptist Church will have their services as normal. A dear friend and Argentine brother from a sister-church will be preaching in our absence. We look forward to returning on Monday. I am praying that God use my absence to help a couple of guys rise up to help lead. Please pray this way with us.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday! The King family (missionary family working with us) came over and we enjoyed a delicious meal of turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and even pumpkin pie! This weekend we will be continuing discipleship. Please pray that God continue to work in those being discipled. I am praying for more people to join in.

We will have a special fellowship after the Sunday evening service. This will be another opportunity to get to know those attending the church.

Please pray as we continue to look for a building. God is blessing in this endeavor and we are trusting Him!

We enjoyed the week with our mission director Jeff Bush. I learned a lot as we discussed topics from marriage, family, church planting, discipleship, and ministry.

Last night we had the pleasure of leading a young lady to faith in Jesus. She is a result of the english classes we had a few months ago. Ashley King, a missionary who we serve with, has been hosting a weekly classes with a group of girls. After we had the opportunity to explain what salvation is and how to be saved, Karen received Jesus as her Savior! I am thankful that God is working in the hearts of those attending the church. Please pray for her sister, who is attending the church on Thursday nights but has not believed on Jesus yet.

Last week we were also able to look at a building that is for sale that is just a few blocks from the building we are renting. This is a perfect opportunity for our church as we are growing and as we continue on in the ministry. Please pray that God will give us wisdom as we begin conversations with the real estate office and the owner of the property. We have money set aside for this purchase but I am sure we don’t have enough. All of this is in the hands of the Lord. Pray with us please.

We ask that you also pray with us as we set in motion the many things we have learned over this past week with our missions director. God bless you.

We have our Mission Director, Jeffrey Bush, with us this week. We also have our first annual mission conference. This will be the first time for most everyone in the church to be a part of a conference focusing on the need for world evangelism. The church is decked out in flags from countries around the world. We have videos from missionaries going to Burkina Faso (an Argentine) and to Ecuador (a Chilean). It all starts tonight with the first service.

We are very happy to have Brother Jeff with us. He is a huge blessing to our church, my family, and to myself. Please pray for these special meetings and the time we have with our mission director.
