One Year!
We have now been on deputation for one year as church-planting missionaries to Argentina! In this year, we have seen God do incredible things! I don’t know how to put it onto paper! We have driven thousands of miles and been in many churches. We have met brothers and sisters in Christ who are making a difference for Jesus. We have been inspired, encouraged, and challenged. God has kept us safe in all of this. We have partnered with 34 churches with many others who have said they will be partnering with us in the coming months! We are now at 35% of our needed funds! Our goal is to leave between March and June of 2016. We are right on target for that goal. Please continue to pray that God will build our support.
This month, we have 12 scheduled meetings where we will share what God is doing in our lives and the great need in Argentina. We will be in four different states. This year of deputation has been a great blessing to us!
Serving Together,
Patrick, Leslie, Lily, Piper, and Ivy Henry
Meanwhile in Argentina
The Córdoba province is home to over 3.3 million people, and is the location of the city Córdoba, the second largest city of Argentina. In February, heavy rains caused the Ceballos River to overflow and flood the small towns in surrounding areas. People were trapped in their cars and homes. Electricity was shut off for days to prevent electrocution. Sadly, seven people died due to the floods. Large cities are in desperate need of the Gospel, but small towns and villages are also in great need! A missionary in Buenos Aires told me that there are over 100 cities with 50,000 people in them that do not have a Gospel witness in them! Argentina needs laborers!
