Camp Time!

Our second camp season here in Argentina has come and gone. Camp is always such a wonderful way to reach young hearts and turn them towards God. The camp we participate in has three weeks of camp for different age groups, and our church has children/teens in all of them. Ben was a counselor in the older teen camp, and had the opportunity to speak directly into the lives of the young men in his group. They are bombarded on every side with all the pleasures and perils of the sinful world in which we live. We woud ask that you pray specifically for one unsaved young man, Fabricio, who came to camp, recognized his condition before the Lord, but hardened his heart towards the Gospel, all because he did not want to change his life. He continues attending his church, but still needs to turn to Christ. We praise the Lord for several others who made decisions to turn from specific sins in their lives that were ensnaring their Christian walk, and follow the Lord more faithfully. What a blessing to see God work in their hearts! Since then we have also seen follow-up steps several have taken, such as being faithful in church, starting classes in the seminary and talking to their friends about their Savior!

Investing in Families

We truly believe that in order to have a strong church there must be strong church families, and these begin with strong marriages. One of the ways our church invests in marriages is through couples’ meetings which usually include an evening off without the children, teaching on marriage, fellowship with other couples, and even fun things like a Valentine banquet once a year! It was very fun to organize the banquet this year, and there were eighteen couples present, some of them for the first time at church. Please pray for one of these couples, Pablo and Mariela, who have been attending church for a short while. They are going through counseling because of problems in their marriage, partly due to Pablo being unsaved. Please pray for his salvation and that their marriage will not only be saved, but  flourish.

At the Valentine banquet. Pablo and Mariela are on the right.
