Wonderful things are happening! I just haven’t found time to bring
them to you. Here are a few shots from more than a week ago.
Beautiful Las Grutas (The Grottos) from my hotel balcony.
My faithful little Peugeot car is being towed away for a repair and
maintenance. The serpentine belt broke just as I was starting the engine
in front of the hotel. Perfect timing, near a garage and the needed
parts. I had just completed a 300 mile trip through desert. Believe
me, God is taking care of me!
The Las Grutas church is filled with excited youth and children.
Everyone, including the little children get involved, some with flags celebrating
and worshiping Jesus.
Kids of all ages enjoyed Perfume and Felipe.
I was encouraged to follow Jesus when I was a child. For that I
thank the Lord and godly parents. I want to pass it on.
Pastors Jorge and Stella are graduates of our Patagonian Bible
Institute. They are making a powerful impact on this city in a wide
variety of ways.
I wrote to a friend:
I
had an interesting service last night here in Las Grutas. The young
pastors, Jorge and Stella Orellano, have been successful in building a church
of youth and children… which are now quickly becoming fathers and mothers of
children. Loud music, enthusiasm, jumping, dancing-flag-waving-children,
evangelism in the plazas and streets. Last night I featured the Delta
Island work for the first time ever I think… and closed with a 5 minute video
of the first 30 years of that church plant. I prayed that the Lord would
send workers not only into the great cities, but into remote places where
families have never heard. Dropped a few seeds. You never know when
one might take root.
As I stepped out of a restaurant after lunch this sunburst rose smiled
and said, “Come take my picture.”
