I wanted to
give you a brief update of what's going on with our lives.
My classes are going well. To be honest with you it is mind bending to study
things that I particularly never liked to study, philosophy as an example. I
was reading a German philosopher and the first thing that came to my mind as I
was trying to figure out what he was trying to say was "Why are there people who
finds attractive to write and think about these things?!" However as I was
researching all these ideas I came to a puzzling existential question: "If the
universe is infinite... why then is so difficult to park?" :) 
I hope you could
smile with that one!
My class mates now have
started to ask questions regarding my family and my occupation. Last
night they asked me: "Are you a pastor?" just out of the blue. I said "no, why
do you ask?" they answered:" Well you have a nice family, you study a lot, share
your material with us and you are nice guy; you must be a pastor" They were
surprise that I was not a pastor. I could share very little about what I do and
believe. My hypothesis is turning out right: "Whenever you can show Christ in
some ways you will have sooner or later the opportunity and right to talk about
HIM"
We are getting ready to receive a team of
8 people in June and a team of 16 people in July. The first will be
here 7 weeks doing evangelism and the other only one week doing practical work.
If you can pray for them as they raise support and get ready everything to
come. Will be very busy studying and working with them, pray that God will give
us good health and intelligence to be above circumstances and not under them.
God is above them always!
The 31st of
March we went to a Catholic church and showed the "Jesus Movie" there.
It was awesome! We did this as a combine effort with the different ministries
of the Navigators here and with Guillermo. Guillermo is a very nice guy who has
a heart for Catholics. He shared after the movie a very nice, short and
straight presentation of the gospel. Many people were moved, holding hand and
sharing some tears. This is something very, very, very uncommon to see in a
catholic church here in Argentina.
Finally I sold my old van. I told you about
it in my last update. I sold it pretty well. I have now 7500 U$D to use to buy
a new used van. Some of you may remember that I wanted to buy a Ford pickup
with a double cabin. I will not do that now. I want to buy another van. This
will help me with all these teams that are coming every year. Some of you my
take advantage of it is you come to minister here in the future. I still need
2000 U$D more to buy something decent. Maybe you'd like to help. If you can at
least pray about it would be of great help. Buying a car in Argentina is
difficult and dangerous. You could buy a stolen car with forged papers if not
careful. So please pray for the leading of the Holy Spirit in this. This week I
will not have the van anymore. I already started to look for another, so if
you'd like to help, could you tell me about it? As always you can get this
deducted from taxes when you give through the navs. You would be investing in a
very needed tool for our ministry here in Argentina.
If you'd
like to give
