Old man and kids

Meet Claudio Salazar and family. (Photo) Claudio worked full time for us for several years just after he got married. It was a time of extreme activity and heavy responsibility. This remarkable young man handled tens of thousands of dollars as we managed gospel TV programs reaching millions of people, the purchase of new church properties and church planting crusades. Claudio had no intentions of becoming a pastor himself, but years later planted a successful and growing church in Gran Bourg. He has invited me many times in the past. Finally last Wednesday night I was able to minister there and witness what God is doing with his life and that of his family.

Now here is an old man that doesn’t know that he is old. He can’t thank the Lord enough for the privilege of touching the lives of little kids, again and again. This time it was last Thursday morning at Martinez Christian school in Buenos Aires. (Photos)

Friday I was invited to preach at our largest and highly productive Bible Institute, IBRP (River Platte Bible Institute) near Buenos Aires. What a joy to minister to 270 dedicated students, ready to give their very lives to spread the love of Jesus to the world!
