Wow, how have these three months gone by?! I’m going to summarize to the best of my ability because there is so much to tell! I’ve worked with the Gideons, (you know the Gideon bible in hotels and hospitals?? Same organization) continued working with people that live in the streets, have increased in my commitment to the El Campo (desert) ministry, and so much more! The Lord has been doing amazing things and there it’s nothing in comparison to what is coming!

 El Campo- Living in the Drylands

El Campo ministry is one of my biggest commitments, I’m not sure how much you remember about the work we do there so I’ll give you a short refresher! In the desert of Lavalle there lives a people group called Huarpe as well as other Argentineans who have over the years taken up residence. People live in small communities along the interstate that cuts through the desert or deeper into el Campo in small yet practical outposts that are quite far apart. Most people raise livestock to make a living or produce crafts and leathers to sell. People who don’t live on the interstate have limited water resources and little or no electricity. There are those who live without good housing and too many mouths to feed.

Through the past ten years we have worked on building relationship with a people who are slow to trust, in the past four months we have snowballed our commitment and begun to visit every week, begun a soccer team for teens as well as start a church. We work through relationships and time spent with the people, sharing devotionals and heavenly values with the people.

The Streets

I’ve continued working in the streets with people who work throughout the night or those without homes. We visit in the nighttime to share something warm to eat and build relationships as well as run a soup kitchen once a week. As a ministry we are being transformed from our small efforts by request from the government here in Mendoza to take part in finding solutions to the hard lives lived by those without homes and no job opportunities. Soon we’ll see what comes from this new affiliation.

Last Year´s Impacto Trip

What's Coming Next... 

In two weeks I’ll be traveling to the Triple Border with a ministry called Impacto (Impact). Impacto is a ministry that wroks with the church to mobilize, challenge and encourage people to take a real and practical commitment with Jesus.

This upcoming trip leaves Mendoza in a charter bus the 6^th of July; we’re going to stop in various cities in the north of Argentina before passing to the Triple Border (a city located on the borders of Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil). This city is highly populated by Sikhs, a religion originating from India; it’s a mixture of Hindu and Islam. Our goal is to reach these people, to impact their lives and city with the word of God.

My goal is to go with them and my challenge: 700 US$. Now I know the Lord never invites us on an adventure without providing the means to go and so I’m trusting Him, that through friends, family, strangers, churches or a genuine miracle that he’ll provide. Help me pray, please! I’m expectant of the Lord’s faithfulness and seeing awesome works in this trip!
