We are the Henry family. We have been serving Jesus as missionaries in Argentina since 2016. My wife Leslie and I have four beautiful daughters who serve the Lord alongside us. We are planting churches and training men to advance the Gospel in Argentina and around the world. It is not always easy, but God has been with us every step of our journey! He is so good to us! This blog is designed to take you on the journey with us. We have posts ranging from quick updates, to unique cultural norms and mores, to thoughts on world evangelism, to our monthly prayer letters. Our blog is updated often, be sure to check back and go on this journey with us!
March 2025 Monthly Missions Letter
We had several special services in February, including our bi-monthly pastor’s fellowship. I was privileged to preach in both churches and I believe the Lord worked in each service. We started a new series for our Wednesday Night Bible Studies at Hope Baptist Church, we also started discipleship with a new believer. God has been working in the ministries He has given us and we are looking forward to see how He continues to bless as we continue in 2025!
We are excited to start our Bible College Classes again this year with classes in the Old Testament, New Testament, Bible Doctrines, and practical ministry. Please pray for our Bible College students! At Faith Baptist Church, I will be preaching at their Baby Dedication Service, we already have several who will be dedicating their children, including Pastor Matías and his wife Mica. At Hope Baptist Church, Brian will have the opportunity to preach in many of the services. Brian is a young man in the Bible College. He has grown spiritually through the years and is being used greatly in the church, he and his wife Ayelen are involved in discipleship and in leading the young people in the church. Please pray for the ministries, and the leadership in the churches.
Serving Together,
Patrick, Leslie, Lily, Piper, Ivy, and Isla Henry

February 2025 Missions Letter
Discipleship, Growth, and Pressing Forward
We had a wonderful start to 2025, from our Vision Service to our Summer Camp at the end of the month, we are pressing forward in the ministry! I preached in both Faith and Hope Baptist Churches last month, and encouraged both churches with Bible principles to help them take the next steps by faith. Pastor Matías is doing a great job encouraging and leading the church. The theme this year at Faith is “Evangelize”, and I believe the Lord is already using the church to do so! At Hope, our theme for the year is “Walk Daily With God”. I am encouraging each believer to do so by teaching practical steps that each of us can take daily that will stimulate our knowledge and growth in Christ and increase our love for Him!
This month is another exciting month! We hope to start two new discipleship meetings with two young men who have recently started attending the church. They walk over 30 minutes to attend the church services! We will also have a Pastor’s Fellowship to help encourage other pastors and leaders to continue on for the glory of God. We are grateful to be able to serve the Lord and we are looking forward to a great month!
Serving Together,
Patrick, Leslie, Lily, Piper, Ivy, and Isla Henry
Prayer Requests
- Pray for the Pastor’s Fellowship this month.
- Pray for Faith Baptist Church and Hope Baptist Church.
- Pray for Facundo and Israel, the two young men who have started attending Hope Baptist Church.
January 2025 Missions Letter
The Vision and Summer Camp
Both Faith and Hope Baptist Churches were blessed by the Lord in 2024, we saw people saved, baptized, and one-on-one discipleship relationships started. We had great events in both churches and we are anticipating great things from the Lord in 2025!
Pastor Matías is leading Faith Baptist Church and he and the ministry directors have planned out the year. At Hope Baptist Church, we are kicking off the year with our annual Vision Service, when we share the theme for the year, “Daily Walking with God”. This service is one of the highlights of the year and we are praying that the Lord will use it! At the end of this month we will have our annual summer camp. Both churches will be participating in our camp, this is a chance to get away from all the other things going on in life and focus in on our faith. We have great things planned for 2025, including the ordination of Pastor Matías, hosting pastor fellowships as well as a special marriage conference with other churches, and continuing the ministries of evangelism and discipleship. We will also continue our Bible College ministry and are adding more classes! Thank you for praying for the ministry God has given us!
Serving Together,
Patrick, Leslie, Lily, Piper, Ivy, and Isla Henry

December 2024 Missions Letter
Finishing the Year Right!
We arrived back in Argentina last month, and we jumped back into the ministry immediately. It was encouraging to see the growth in both churches during our absence. We held the first ever Pastor/Leader Fellowship at Faith Baptist Church and it was a big success! We plan to have our next fellowship in February in a new church plant in La Plata. We are praying for these pastors and leaders as God uses them to guide the churches under their stewardship.
This month we are focussing on finishing the year right, with a number of events going on this month. We will be completing the semester of the Bible College (we are already planning for next semester!). We will have a planning meeting for Hope Baptist Church with a few leaders, we will be going over next year’s themes, goals, and we will plan out the events for the year! Pastor Matías will be doing the same for Faith Baptist Church with the leadership there! We will also have our Christmas service on December 22, this has always been a great opportunity to invite others to the church and we are praying for the Lord to use it! We also have the final service of the year, on December 29, we will celebrate the year’s end with our “Empanada Night”, it will be a special fellowship that we all look forward to. As always, there is a lot going on, thank you for your faithful prayers and support!
Serving Together,
Patrick, Leslie, Lily, Piper, Ivy, and Isla Henry
