Praises from Argentina and Chile
“Thanks so much for your prayer coverage during our recent trip to Argentina and Chile. Eric and I could definitely sense your support. It was an extraordinarily effective trip, and I believe some of the things we saw happen will yield lasting fruit for the Glory of our heavenly Father.
Argentina March 4 - 9
- Two people in Seclantás, Argentina prayed to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. This increased the number of believers in this small Andean Mountain town by about 20%.
- Edgardo Cabrera, an Argentine HHM missionary serving full-time in Salta, was released to visit the believers in Seclantás twice each month to teach Bible studies on the fundamentals of the faith, baptize the believers (none have yet been baptized), and begin to serve them Holy Communion. We hope these will be the first steps in planting a church in this town.
- We met with the head of technical operations and the general director for the water company which serves the entire province of Salta concerning the arsenic water filtration system for San Antonio de Los Cobres. It was a very productive and encouraging meeting. They have agreed to be responsible for all customs and importation paper work, transportation of the containers from Buenos Aires to the site, building construction, plumbing and installation, and future maintenance of the system.
- But due to the redesign of the system, which nearly tripled our original design capacity, we may have some cost overruns on the HHM side of the project. You can see more details in the next section of this report if you are interested.
Chile March 10 – 14
- We had a wonderful time of fellowship and enjoyed the presence of the Lord with our long-time friends and ministry associates Alejandro and Ruth Ruz plus their three wonderful grown up children in Santiago, Chile.
- We also experienced an earthquake and saw the new president of Chile sworn in while Tsunami Warnings were being flashed across the television screen. Watch Chile. The Lord is doing something remarkable in that nation for His Glory.
- Had a great time of ministry in one of the Santiago Vineyard Churches.
- Alejandro Ruz accompanied Eric and me to Puerto Montt in southern Chile for a mini-conference Saturday and Sunday,March 13th & 14th, in the Vineyard Church there. There was a special anointing during ministry times.
- The pastor in Puerto Montt expressed great interest in developing a more direct relationship with His Heart Missions in the future, and plans were discussed on their sending teams from Chile to participate in mission projects in Argentina.
