Two Souls Saved!
Even though many of our people are still young Christians, we are trying to promote the importance of evangelism. I plan to do an evangelism class soon to teach how to explain the Gospel. Many of our people pass out tracts during the week. Five people came out soul winning in January for church-wide soul winning. We went to a park that was full of people on a Saturday afternoon. Many people accepted the tracts and were willing to talk. Andrew and I were able to talk with several people. We then met Walter, a 69-year-old man who has had a rough life. He allowed me to show him the Gospel and then gladly trusted in Christ! On the last Sunday of January, Daniel invited his Venezuelan coworker Luis to church. Knowing that Luis was unsaved, I tried to sprinkle in the Gospel throughout the message before inviting people to trust Christ at the invitation. Afterwards, he told me he wanted to trust Christ. I had the opportunity to lead him to the Lord! We then started discipleship the following week.
Outreach Efforts
Christa was able to witness to a taxi driver named Diago. After being given the Gospel, he said he wasn’t ready to commit to Christ but maybe another time. Please pray for Diago’s salvation. Another taxi driver named Edward was also witnessed to. He had lived in the U.S. for 12 years, so he was excited to speak English. He used to go to church, but now he says he only wants to believe in Jesus, but not go to church. However, after exchanging phone information, he said he would come visit the church one of these Sundays when he was free. Please pray for Edward and for his salvation, as he did not give a clear testimony of his belief. Christa is also continuing her Spanish conversation class on Tuesdays. It has been a good way to develop relationships with the goal of presenting the Gospel. We know of several people who are looking for a good church.
Evangelism Campaign
A team of 9 people will be with us in Uruguay from February 5 – April 1. Their goal is to help us reach lost souls and disciple the saved. Lord willing, this will help us to be able to move into a building. We know Uruguay is a very hard country when it comes to the Gospel, but we are praying for the Lord to open hearts and bring revival. Please pray with us that many souls with be saved as a result of this campaign. We desire that God will be glorified in all that we do. Please pray that our church people will love and care for this team. Please pray that our people will have a passion for lost souls. Please pray for the safety and health of this team.
Thank you for continuing to give and pray! We love you all so much.
