Happy New Year! I think 2016 is going to be a great year.I plan to take two trips this year to attend conferences on church planting in South America– one to Chile in April, and another to Peru in October. Please pray that the trips will be very fruitful.

As far as we know, more missionaries have left Argentina since we arrived in 2011 than have arrived. That appears to be changing! We know several new families that are nearing the end of deputation. One family will be working closely with us here in La Plata while they adjust to the field. Please pray that the Henry family will meet their target of March 24 and that we can be a great help to them during this important and exciting time for their ministry.For the first time in long time, there has been a major shift in the presidency (A husband and wife governed for 12 years.) The new president, Mauricio

Macri, took office in December. Though there is an expectation of short term instability during the transition, many things look to improve and stabilize in the long term. We hope that all changes will be good for the gospel and for missions.If Argentina is going to be reached with the Gospel, it will be done through the multiplication of churches started by national pastors. Where do

national pastors come from? They must be reached and they must be trained. That’s why we emphasize evangelism and the Bible College. The new school year will start in mid February. We’re praying that this will be the biggest and best year we’ve ever had! We want to:

Witness more ⟫ Reach more ⟫ Disciple more ⟫ Train more ⟫ Plant more ⟫ Multiply more.

We have a new field address! Casilla de Correo 139 1900 La Plata Buenos Aires, Argentina

Do you know what is even better than sending a card or package to the mission field? Send yourself! Have you planned a trip to the mission field yet? Why not Buenos Aires, Argentina– one of the largest cities in the world? Missions trips help recruit laborers, raise up prayer warriors, encourage missionaries, and make better supporters. Email or call if you are interested taking a trip that will change your life.Thank you for all that you do to support the ministry!
