Becoming Familiar with the Aiport

I'm not talking about our travel in or outside of the country. I've become familiar with the airport in the last couple of months because we've had numerous visits. It has been FUN, encouraging, very busy, challenging and rewarding.

In November and in December we had the privilege of receiving:

-Kurt and Lore - they came down to get married. It was my first wedding to do and it was a privilege to marry my Argentine sister-in-law and one of my teammates. They are currently in the US raising support to be back in Argentina by the end of 2006

-George and Emily - We had the privilege to get to know Emily. They plan to be married in February in the US. George is also on our team. Like Kurt he had previously done a six month stint with us. They came to Argentina for Kurt's wedding and for Emily to get to know Argentina. (By the way if you become part of the Argentina team as a singe you'll probably marry soon after - so far all three singles did :) ).

-Brian Leicht and Paul Polk: Both on staff at Denton Bible. We organized a conference for them to do with pastors and leaders. They covered the biblical perspective of marriage and divorce. It was a true blessing to all who attended. The pastors were very grateful.

-James Arnold and Mike Scheer: James is the missions pastor for Denton Bible and Mike is his assistant who is over our work in Argentina. There visit was a source of blessing, encouragement and direction. We had good conversations about the year and the years to come (future plans for ministry, decisions, etc.) Its great to not be alone in making big and long-term decisions for ministry.

-A group of nine people of different ages who helped us do some evangelistic activiy and contact in City Bell. We did everything from an American Brunch (uuummm yummy!), having George play jazz for us in a local coffee shop to painting the rooms in an orphanage. The purpose of this trip was to gain credibility and share Christ as opportunities arised (several oppts developed in an non-threatning atmosphere to do this) in our community through various activities. The professional class of Argentina is an unreached area that this team had a significant part in reaching.

We praise God for these months. We are now preparing for a couple of months in the US. More on this later...

Prayer Requests

04.15.2009 April prayer requests: Please pray: 1. For Christ to be the center and the passion that drives all that we do. 2. For all that is needed for us to go to the conference, for God to provide for the cost to travel to Denton, for Wendy and Caro's passport to arrive on time, for our ministry activities and responsibilities to be covered well in our absence. 3. For a future pastor for the Union church. We are asking God to give us someone from the church that is not one of the missionaries.

10.02.2008 Bolivia Trip and new family member!: Please pray: 1. For encouragement and diligence for the pastors who received the teacher training workshop that we conducted a few weeks ago in Bolivia. Pray that God would give them wisdom and grace to live in the midst of all the political turmoil that is going on right now. 2. For a smooth c-section for Caro. Tomorrow Wendy should be born around 3:30 pm (1:30 Texas time). Pray for peace, safety and health. Pray for our adjustment to this new stage as a family. 3. For God to use us deeply in the lives of key individuals and broadly in the church in our efforts in Christ to be bring about growth and change to the whole body of Centro Cristiano de La Union.

07.27.2008 Medical Mission Trip: Please pray for God's protection, blessing, divine enablement for our Chaco medical mission trip starting today, July 27th through August 3rd. You can read more about this trip in the update Medical Mission Trip.

For the small group ministry of the church. I'm trying to help a key leader in the church (Leo) develop it in a way that is more effective. Right now there are a lack of leaders for the small groups 3. For the institute - that God would bring life change in the students and equip them for effective ministry. My students names are: Juani, Facu, Vinnie, Barbie, Cecia, Flor and Melisa.

11.27.2007 Please pray for our pastor in Argentina: Our pastor, Mike Terry of the church we serve with in Argentina has had serious chest pains and is now in intensive care. It is very likely that they will be doing surgery today. Pray for God´s intervention in the whole process, for peace for the family and for wisdom for us in determining how this affects our travel plans, when we return to Argentina, etc. Thank you! We will keep you posted! Warmly, Greg, Caro and Alaina

04.07.2007 PLEASE PRAY FOR : 1. Pray that we would have daily quality times with Him. Pray that this would be our greatest priority. 2. Pray for the new small group ministry of the church. That God would use this new structure and that He would show us how to invest our lives into the lives of the leaders. 3. Pray that as a team we would be able to learn how to best work together balancing each other's strengths and weaknesses. Pray that our love for one another would grow deeper and that we would with one voice glorify God. 4. Pray that God would continue to use us in reaching new people in City Bell (last night we had a wonderful time with a group of people from City Bell - some have recently come to faith). 5. Pray for George and Emily's transition to Argentina, for adjustment to culture and language. They've done great so far. That are many other prayer requests but five is probably enough for now. We so appreciate those of you who pray faithfully for us! We so appreciate those who pray for us at Missions Prayer. We treasure your prayers. Keep up the good work. Your prayers are not in vain.
