God’s Blessings

Reflecting upon God's goodness throughout 2005, makes me realize how privileged we are to be missionaries in Argentina. On the 16th of December we will be finishing our second Semester in the Macedonia Baptist Institute with a total of 17 students. The Lord has given us a great group of students and we have been blessed to see many grow in the faith. David, one of the young Argentine students, was able to win a family to the Lord and perform his first baptism. What a blessing to see the young people winning others to the Lord and helping others grow in the way of the Lord.

The Year 2005

Excitement flows through Argentina as we have seen many special days in the churches and many precious people who have become a part of our lives. The Lord has blessed with not only Argentines but we also have people from Peru, Bolivia, Honduras, Brazil, the Ukraine, Ecuador, Uruguay, Paraguay, Spain and even the United States. We have seen the church grow from only a few to many faithful families who are getting involved in MANY areas of the church. The Lord has called young men who have preached their first sermons. In just this year the Lord enabled the church to divide the Sunday school into 8 different age groups. We have seen the start of many ministries including home Bible studies, music groups, neighborhood Children's Bible clubs, the bus ministry and much more. We truly have been blessed and would like to share that this is all fruit to your account as our co-laborers in prayer and support. We are expecting greater blessings yet to come in the upcoming year of 2006 and are excited to share with you what God will be doing.

Anniversary

On December 3rd we had our first anniversary at Grace Baptist Church in Quilmes and the Lord blessed in many ways. And then on the 4th we had our first anniversary at the Lighthouse Baptist Church in La Plata. It was an exciting and emotional service for our people with an attendance of 180. What an excitement to see what GOD has done in the short amount of time with these young churches growing quickly in the Lord's path. The church people did an amazing job decorating, preparing cakes, pictures and a video presentation of what the Lord has done in our short time as a church body and much more.

Family Picture

Many of you have commented that it has been a while since you've seen a recent family picture so we are sending one that we just had taken last week. It seems like time flies and our girls just keep getting bigger and bigger. Lydia is now 4 years old; Adriana is 2 and Johanna is 1. They are a blessing from the Lord and we pray that they will grow up to serve the Lord. In the next few days we'll be putting some more pictures on our web page - Reaching All Ministries
