Quick Update: Meetings in the Midwest

June 24, 2022 by Patrick Leave a Comment

As the ministry continues in Argentina, on furlough this week, I have the privilege to share about that ministry in churches in the midwest. I was in a supporting church in northeast Ohio on Wednesday. This Sunday, I will be in churches in Illinois and Indiana. I am so thankful for the opportunity to preach and teach the Bible and to be able to share what the Lord is doing in the ministry in Argentina!

As the weather is getting nice and hot here in the States, it is getting colder in Argentina. The winter can bring a slump in attendance, but the church is working hard to evangelize those around them. Pray with us that God will bless the efforts of Pastor Matías and Faith Baptist Church.

Quick Update: Father’s Day and Our Anniversary

June 17, 2022 by Patrick Leave a Comment

I try to focus on what is going on in the ministry in Argentina and share a little of our travels while we are on furlough, but this weekend is special for us. Obviously Sunday is Father’s Day. I am so honored to be the father to our four daughters. They are amazing girls and I love them so much! I know that they are not perfect, but they are such a blessing in our lives! Lily is 16 years old and is growing up way too fast, she has a desire to witness to others about her faith in Jesus. Piper is 13 years old, and at camp last week, she surrendered her life to serve the Lord! Ivy is 10 years old and is full of personality and keeps us laughing (we are praying for her salvation). Isla is 4 years old and she is our “baby”, she keeps us on our toes! As a dad to four daughters, I could not imagine much of a greater honor…But there are a few that are even better than being “dad”. Leslie and I will also be celebrating our 18 year anniversary on Sunday! Leslie is my best friend, my love, my favorite person in the world, and the person I want to be with all the time! God gave me the best wife! I am the most blessed man in the world because I am a child of God, I am the husband to Leslie, and I am the father to Lily, Piper, Ivy, and Isla.

I know this email is more personal in nature and there is not a lot about ministry. Faith Baptist Church will be celebrating Father’s Day, they have bought a small gift to give to every father that will be present, and Pastor Matías will be preaching on characteristics of a good father (those characteristics are manifested perfectly in our Heavenly Father). Please be praying for our services this weekend.

Quick Update: Three People Saved!

June 10, 2022 by Patrick Leave a Comment

The Lord is working in the ministry in Argentina. Pastor Matías sent me a message a few days ago about two girls in the church who believed on Jesus! Earlier this month, he was visiting with his cousin Leo and his girlfriend, Micaela. He presented the gospel to Micaela and she trusted Christ as Savior! They live far from the church in a city named Wilde. We don’t know of a Bible-preaching church in Wilde, pray with us that we will one day be able to start a church in that city.

We praise the Lord for how He is working through Missionary Stephen Underwood and his family. They started the Hope Baptist Church in Ezeiza last Sunday. They had good attendance and six people put their faith in Jesus as Savior! Pray for the Underwoods and this new church plant.

June 2022 Missions Letter

June 1, 2022 by Patrick Leave a Comment

Every Member Has a Gift, Every Member has a Ministry!

We were in Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, and South Carolina in May to present what the Lord has done during our first term. We have enjoyed each and every opportunity to do so. 

In May, Pastor Matías, the man pastoring Faith Baptist Church, Eric, one of the men assisting him, and I met together via a video call. We try to do so once a week, but this specific meeting was different. Pastor Matías has a burden to help each member of the church use their God given gifts to complete the function God has for them in their local assembly. As he spoke with me about it, I was encouraged to see how God has developed a pastor’s heart in him. It reminded me of my pastor. Matías and Eric put together a list of the ministries we have at the church, and worked to try to incorporate everyone he could. Pastor Matías has been preaching on this Bible truth, and many of the members who did not have a specific ministry now do have a place to serve!

This month, Faith Baptist Church will be celebrating Father’s Day with a special service. This month we will also be traveling to churches in Georgia, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Thank you praying for us and the ministry God has given us.

Serving Together,

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