April 11 1969 I was born, it makes me 40 years old of age. Wow it is quite difficult for me to believe I'm actually 40 years old, I feel like being in my 20's, perhaps that is because of my spiritual age, I was born again when I was 16 years old :)
Just for you to have a glimpse of what I'm talking about here is a picture from 1994 I was 25 and I'm the guy with the blue ADIDAS jacket. It was during my training just before going to Russia. Who was my hairdresser?
Anyway, God has given me a lot of things to do and it seems that the older I am the more I have in my hands. It seems that not many make it to this age and are still following the Lord or have lived in a way that give them something good to share with others. So thanks to many of you who are reading this today I'm not in the many, I'm mostly enjoying my life and the things I do not enjoy (mostly sin and some craziness) is on the table before the Lord and others to change.
Well, after some vacations, I had a team of 17 people from the US to do practical work in churches. It was a great week because I had my adopted family all together again here in Argentina. The Clay Family was all in Argentina in March and it was a great time of ministering and working together for the Lord. Those babies I used to babysit now are men and women of God it was another things that made me remember my age :(
Most of what I am I owe to this people, Wendy and Henry Clay. Henry help me in my walk with God with his godly example. Wendy accepted me as I was (helping me to see God's love) By drinking Mate and her great cooking skills, her positive and gracious view of me helped me to change for God.
After this intense week working, Henry and I went to to Chile to visit some friends and give some talks.
These are the Andes - view from the plane
Henry spoke about marriage and I about forgiveness which now I understand that the two are related. It was both a good and dificult time. It was good to be with Henry and laugh and do stuff together. It was difficult to see the situation of many believers who have not godly pastors to turn to. So the group we visited led by a former disciple who was part of a discipleship group Henry had years ago, is trying to offer believers honest and godly
shepherding through Christian Fellowship Groups.
This is the group during one of the talks
The Navigators of Argentina held a 3 days conference about "Discipleship from the inside out" Navigators from Chile, the US, Brazil and Argentina were there to learn how to Listen to God and How his voice can heal our wounds. It was a great time with God.
Here you can see some of the first fruits the Navigators had back in the 70's, Fernando Gonzalez is right in the middle of the Picture with light blue shirt he was one of the first Navigators stepping on Argentine soil in 1973.
What's going on NOW!
I have a team of young believers who will be dong Evangelism and Discipleship coming tomorrow morning. They will be living here for two months. Please pray for them that no one will be carrying the flu and that they will not get it here.
As part of the team coming we have opposition. My mom just today called me saying that she doesn't feel well. The same situation I had last year. Please pray!
I have been feeling pretty week spiritually these last week. I reading Nehemiah and I'm working at rebuilding my wall and doors spiritually speaking. Can you sustain me and my Family in prayer at this taks that always has the influence of the enemy saying that we will not succeed? Remember Claudia, Martin Jr., Natasha and Lara is my family.
Please pray for our finances as well, even when I can see God's faithfulness with us I need to work towards being full supported, so pray and if you are no doing it, you also can give :)

Martin,
I will do my best to support you in prayer in this season. I hope your new team is awesome and refreshing to your spirit. I can't believe it has been three years since I was there!
Peace.
