Evangelism Campaign
For the last eight weeks, we have hosted a team from San Luis Potosi, Mexico, here in Montevideo, Uruguay, with our church family. This was headed up by Missionary Chris Sage and his wife Viry. They did all of the footwork of going door to door, sharing the Gospel, and starting discipleship with those who were interested after salvation. Leading up to the trip, we had talked about the challenges in Uruguay, but we prayed, expecting God to work. We also began an evangelism training class on Saturday afternoons. It is exciting to see several people get a desire to at least give out a tract or witness to their neighbors! Praise the Lord that 232 people trusted in Christ during the campaign! They were able to bring 26 adult visitors to the services. They were also able to begin discipling several as well. All the glory goes to God! Thank you so much for praying for this evangelistic campaign, which was a great encouragement to our people!
Taxi Driver
My wife was taking a taxi home after a scheduled discipleship when the driver turned and asked her if she was Mormon because of her dress. She laughingly replied, “No, I’m Baptist!” He replied that he was as well but that He didn’t have a church to go to. He asked if we were “traditional Baptists that sang hymns and evangelized the lost on the streets”; and, of course, she replied in the affirmative. He said he would really like to attend, and she got his contact information. That Sunday, he brought his wife and 3 children to attend the services with us, and they enjoyed it greatly. I and several others from the team went to follow up on them during the week, and his son accepted Christ as his Saviour. He brought his mother the next week, as she, too, was looking for a church. They live in the barrio Cerro, where we had originally thought of starting a church; however, it is a bit far, plus difficult to get a foothold into this area. We are starting Bible studies, however, and it looks like we have another family interested as well. We are praying and considering about starting an annex here in this barrio soon, as it seems God is now opening what was previously a closed door. Please pray for this opportunity.
First Vacation Bible School
With the team from Mexico with us, we were able to have our first VBS hosted with our church. After each day, we took each child and parent who came and explained the Gospel to them personally. We have on our records over 20 salvations due to this time together. The first day was the largest day, with the second and third days being smaller due to soccer practice and the game the next day. However, several parents have continued to show an interest, with several children coming faithfully since then. God has been very good!
Your missionaries to Uruguay,
Tim, Christa, Ethan, Evan, Emmalynn, and Elizabeth Simmons
