October Prayer Letter

October 2009

The Lord has been very good to us as He always is.  These past couple months have been very busy in the ministry, but very fruitful.  We would like to mention just a few highlights since the last time we wrote.

The Seminary is going well.  Pray for the young men studying in the seminary.   At the end of the year we will be graduating 5 of these students who have now completed 3 years of studies.  One of them is already pastoring a church (the a Baptist Church in Quilmes) and the other is my assistant Pastor.  Another one is the Outreach Ministry Director and another is the Youth Leader.  All of the students are serving to some capacity and it is exciting to see them being used of the Lord.

In August we also started a new work in the southern end of the city.   To reach a greater amount of people we decided to start a new work in this area on Wednesday nights for now.  A young man who is studying in the seminary and feels called to preach is in charge and preaches every week and I go once a month to preach.  Pray for Hernan and his wife, Rosa, as they work in this area.  They are a great couple and have a heart to win others to the Lord.

We recently had “Children’s Day” here in Argentina so we had a fun day for the children in the neighborhood.  We had over 200 people come and were able to give a Gospel presentation.  Several children and adults received the Lord as their Saviour this day.  Praise the Lord!

The first week of September we had our first Couples Retreat.  We had 17 couples go and one lady’s unsaved husband who we had been praying for accepted the Lord as His Saviour on the way back from the Retreat.  The Lord used the time to strengthen the marriages and draw our church closer together.   The following Sunday we had a Vow Renewal service where all the couples who desired to participate could renew their wedding vows.

The end of September we had a Youth Conference and the Lord allowed over 160 young people to attend with 8 teenagers who made a profession of faith.  Praise the Lord for the men and women who are working with the teens in the church.

We have some exciting family news as well.  My wife is now expecting our fourth child, to be due in April.  Please pray that everything will go well and for her health in this pregancy.

Thank you for your prayers and financial support!  We could not be here without your help and prayers.  We encourage you to read our blog (http://reachingall.wordpress.com) that we update often about the ministry and family.
