This month we officially sent out 13 of our faithful best to work in two new churches!! As some of our key leaders leave, others can step up to fill important roles in the work.

Pray that God will continue to use these Chilean Christians to spread the gospel!!

One of the most exciting things from the 4 services that I attended, was that I only preached one of them.  The other 3 services were preached by our Bible college students.  What a thrill to see them give their lives to serve our Lord!

This is a picture of Nicolas Mazzella, one of our Bible college students who is serving in the new church.

The guy who lead him to the Lord was saved at our church about 2 years ago and the following year was called into the ministry last year!! It’s thrilling to see our “son” in the faith give birth to new disciples!

Also this week, another man who is preparing for the ministry at our church conducted his first Lord’s Supper. This might now sound like a big deal to some, but it was a huge step for him to preach the message, administer the Lord’s Supper, and close the service.

There are few things that make me as proud as seeing my “children” walk in the truth!

This week we are having our first Sunday services!!

A team of guys from our ministry will be leading this new church plant!!!

Continue to pray for our family and ministry in Chile!

Our church is banding together today for 24 hours of prayer.  We are asking God to give us wisdom about two church planting projects…

First, we need to rent a permanent location for the mission church. This would allow us to add an additional weekly service and children’s ministries. Pray that God will lead us to the right location!

Second, we are planning to plant a new church about 2 miles from our main church.  Let me explain the reasons for this decision. Within a 10 minute walk of our main church live more than 40,000 people!  Over 80% of our congregation walks to church.  Very few of those families walks more than a mile!  Just two miles from our church lies another unreached, untapped population group that needs a local Bible preaching church!!  We are praying that God will lead us to a building to rent, give us the right leaders for these projects, and provide the needed funds to launch into the deep with these two projects simultaneously!

Pray with us!  Our 24 prayer chain starts this evening at 7:00 pm and ends tomorrow at the same time!
