Exaltation of The Cross

EXALTATION OF THE CROSS

What an interesting phrase. God was glorified by putting the Eternal Son of God on the Cross. God's atributes of mercy, grace, justice, wrath were glorified at the cross. Christ prayed to be glorified on the cross hours before facing his arrest. Believe it or not Exaltation of the Cross (Exaltacion de la Cruz) is the name of the district we visited with Kurt (if only people who live there understood the meaning) to encourage an existing Bible Training Center that we had a part in starting.

Summer time (we're in opposite seasons) has been a special time to travel some more and see God open doors for extending training centers through Argentina. Just this morning I was visiting with a Korean pastor in Buenos Aires over the phone about a new startup in Jujuy (the most northern province in Argentina). Right after that I visited with Richard (over msn messenger - technology can be really helpful at times) about a training of BTCP teachers in the province of Santa Fe and Entre Rios with the attendance of possibly ten teachers that will happen in the end of February. God is answering our prayers to allow us to be a part of seeing Bible Training Centers started in every province of Argentina so that more pastors will be helped and healthier churches would exalt the message of the cross in a desperately lost society. Praise God!

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 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.
