JULY 2009... GOD'S GRACE IN MY WEEKNESS....

Hello!

After long time ago I had the chance to share with you about what God is doing in Argentina…

Like you know I was very sick in June for 2 weeks ( i can share about it if you just tell me), so I was not sure if I was able to be in the evangelistic campaign in July, activities at Church, and personal projects for Ministry, etc. But I pray to God and God help me to feel better and gave me energy to keep serving Him for his Glory

Well, in July God gave me the opportunity to go to Tucuman, for 8 days and I had a wonderful time with Light House Church, and we were sharing the gospel and studying God’s Word.

Spending time with people of the Church, doing friendships...It was great!

After that I had the chance to be part of Evangelistic Campaign in Leloir Church, that week was so cold (21,2F), we had snow and it was raining. So, it was hard but God showed his power one more time we sow people receiving Jesus like their Savior. I felt so challenged to keep sharing about Jesus even when sometimes we don’t feel like doing it or we prefer to stay warm at home.

Anyway this experience helps us to grow and learn more about God’s love!

And the last week I had the opportunity to be in San Justo Church

and Catan Church. It was a different experience…

we try to reach people, showing them God’s love through different ways like painting a school, giving coffee and cookies to people that were at the public hospital and cleaning a church it was old building but at the end it look like a new building Church. People were impacted when we were doing that, some of them said; I don’t understand why? I cannot believe it! And it was an opportunity to talk with them about God’s love and preach the gospel!

I praise the Lord for the opportunities that He gave me to serve him and to live for eternity (Colossians 3:3)

• Besides, i was working at the Church with the youth group, visiting, spending more time with the girls from my Church.
• Now i have to start teaching again the class that i was doing before i got sick (it was for the girls of 6 different churches).Prepare a new bulletin about Friendship, to prepare the music class (singing) and prepare a preaching at la Loma church for ladies meeting.
• 
  

Thanks for praying for me and be part of this Ministry….. I really need your prayers… sometimes is hard to do Ministry but I know that we have victory in Christ…

So, please pray for:

• Holiness, wisdom, humble heart and integrity
• For Missionary trip to Mexico in November (God provides the money that I need to be part of this mission trip)
• To keep believing his promises his Word and powerful plan for my life.

God bless you!!

In Christ your servant and sister...

Evangelistic Campaign in Tristan Suarez Church in June 2009

Dear friends!
Thank you so much for your prayers!

I had been so busy... the time goes so fast.... but i am happy to know that i am spending my life for something that is Eternal! God`s work is eternal and people who received Jesus too! I had the privileged to be involved in another evangelistic campaign in Tristan Suarez... we had a lot of people coming to know Jesus and the opportunities to see God`s Power!!

I enjoyed to see that and be part of it!

• Also i have been working in my Church Cañuelas with youth ministry and music and whatever they need... i really enjoy to be in this church.

So, please keep praying for me to be a example for them, sometimes is not easy to work with people but i am sure that if we ask the Lord wisdom he will do it!

• I am preparing a study about temperaments, so please pray for it... i need wisdom.

Also when i have to teach or training for leadership to 6 different churches (To girls)... it is a big privilege but also it is a big responsibility, so.
My dear friends. please keep praying for me and thank you for your support and been part of the Ministry that God put in my Life!!
I miss you all and keep in touch...

God`s Work in Argentina 2009

Hello dear friends!!

It’s so nice to keep in touch and to share with you a little bit about my Ministry with Church planting in Argentina.

Well, I was involved an Evangelistic Campaign, I was translating and sharing the gospel with a group from USA, we had a great week; painting, been a witness of Christ helping people in different ways, it was awesome!! Sharing God’s Love to them…

I wont ´ forget when I sow a woman that was alone and she felt that she didn’t have a family which was true because her family reject her because she didn’t want to be involved in bad things and when she heard about God’s love, she received Jesus in her heart her face was changed! I told her you have a new family in Christ, we are your brothers now just because Jesus! And she smiled and she said yes, now I am God’s child and I have a family…, so it was so nice to see how God’s love can change lives. She got a new Bible!

Also, I had been preparing a bulletin about Music; it had been very hard work because I wanted to support that information with God’s Word and to glorify Him with it. So, I spent along time praying and getting information but it was a blessing in first place for my life , because I understood that God created Music with 2 purposes: to praise his Name (Psalm117:1) and to teach us his True and what he is waiting from us (Colossians 3:16). Second place because when I use Music with these purposes it will bless his people and God will be praised and worshiped!!

Well, at the same time I was preparing lessons to teach to the girls that I am training for leadership with the Ministry called “Growing Together”. I have the privilege to teach to 6 churches during this year, I have to meet them one time by month so, I had to visit 2 churches at week. I had enjoyed teaching them the first lesson and seeing how God is working already in their lives!!

At the same time I had been involved with my local Church called Canuelas, I am so happy to be there, I really enjoy being part of them. Well, in this Church I am working with Bible Club for youth group, I have a very nice team and I pray that this year we will impact this town through the Gospel and our lives!!

Also I am going to teach them Music, a lot people from this Church are very interested to learn so, I want to help them to grow in their talents and they can use it for blessing the Church and Glorify God with all that He gave them. So, please pray for me, because it is a big responsibility. I desire to give them the best that I can. And I am praying for a long time ago that God provides me a computer for preparing the lessons for teaching Music but also for training leadership, you know? Anyway, I keep going forward because I know that there is nothing impossible for God!!

In this Church I will have a lot of work with discipleship, it was so nice when the girls came to me and told me: Patricia we want that you disciple us, I felt so honor and privileged. Praise the Lord for his Grace that He is using me for his Glory!!

So, thank you so much for your prayers!! I really need it… this year I have a lot of challenges to do. I am in 3 places every week and I will need strength for it….

Prayer Request:

Holiness, integrity, wisdom, love, intelligence and He can bless me to bless others.

Again, thank you! If you have some prayer request please let me know…..keep in touch… your sister and friend in Christ…

2009...New things to share in Argentina with Churches Planting.......

Hello dear friends,
It is a pleasure to write you again!!! After 2 months if I am not wrong. So anyway I just wanted to share you briefly about the Ministry that God put in my life just for his Grace and Mercy…
In January I had the privilege to help to Gloria Buldain with the preparation of materials for Ladies’ meeting. Every year the ladies of 15 churches are studying the Bible and Gloria provides the material for it, like this year we are going to study about:
“10 Incredible women in the Bible”, what is the point? The point is to grow in wisdom like a woman of God. So, it was a blessing to help with that, I learnt a lot about it. And Gloria is a God’s woman; even when she doesn’t talk her life teach me about God. Please keep praying for her and for my life to keep growing in Knowledge and wisdom.

So, in February, I took some week of vacation, I went to Cordoba for a youth’s camp, it was wonderful, something that I learnt was that Christians never have vacation, because there is opportunities to help or teach to others girls. So, I could help with counseling to the girls of my room, it as nice and also to enjoy the beauty of his creation and new friends.

After that I went to Uruguay to help a youth’ camp of Word of Life, It was a challenge for me, because if you know Uruguay is a country where the Gospel is not easy to share and there is a lot of atheist, spiritual things. So, I had a group where God gave me the blessing to share the gospel and they accepted Jesus into their hearts, praise is his Name!
I am so glad to be part of his wonderful and powerful work. And you too are part of it, through your prayers and support. Thank you for that!

So, I learnt more about God, He is God and we are just his instrument to reach people that don’t know how to find the true like I read this morning in Acts 8:30-31

“ So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked: Do you understand what you are reading?. And he said, how can I, unless someone guides me? ...

So, it was a very exiting time, I feel so happy to have a Great Salvation, which is free, Thank you Lord for showing your love to me sending you Son to die in the Cross for my sins and now I enjoy freedom in Christ!!
Anyway, this nice group of girls took good decisions; the team of Word of Life will continue the following or discipleship with them.

In March we had a women’s conference, it was last weekend. God helped me with the music, I had to take charge of that, so I had to practice with the musician, singers and it was a nice privilege to me (We practice during January and February) We had a nice time worshiping to the Lord and learning more about his Word. So, we are ready for a new year to impact new lives in our neighborhood and church.

Dearly friends, thank you for your time reading this email and I hope that it was a blessing for you and to encourage you to keep going, because if we don’t go ahead we will turn back.

Please keep praying for me and Ministry for:
*Wisdom, integrity, holiness and guidance in every step that I do.
*For all that I need to move to the area were the churches are( to rent a apartment, food, personal needs)
*To be a blessing wherever I go. God takes care of my family.

If God put in your heart be part of this wonderful Ministry through your prayers or finantial support, please contact me to:

God bless you....

Summarizing all the last Year in Ministry

Hello,
How are you? I hope that you had a nice time for Christmas and New Year. I had a quite time with my family, it was okey…
So, I would like to summarize what was for me last year, I pray that it will be a blessing for you too. Praise be the Name of Lord!! ¨Almigthy ¨
I had been involved with:
Evangelistic Campaigns in: I had the honor to translate and share the Gospel in this places: Nicole, Leloir, Tristan Suarez, Oro Verde, La Esperanza, La Foresta, La Loma, El Tala, Tucuman y Santiago del Estero.
Also I translated for the Gideon International Group in the Center of Buenos Aires, giving new testaments. We were in different schools and Universities.
It was a privilege to see a lot of people accepting Jesus like a Savior, God changing lives, it was awesome! I praise God for his power and Grace, reaching this people without hope. Thank you Lord for let me part of it.
Music Ministry: I was involved with a small music school in the area were I am doing Ministry at the weekends. We had around of 10 students; I was teaching Theory Music and singing. So, we could prepare a special Christmas Music and drama. I felt so happy to see them, so enthusiastic and encouraged to do it. I praise the Lord for his faithfulness. We presented this for Christmas in Leloir Church; there were a lot of people that night. I pray that God uses me through this Ministry to form people who adore God in Spirit ant truth. I love Music Ministry I really enjoyed to be part of it!
Local Church: I had been in Catan Church; I was involved with the Girls Ministry in the Music ministry, training voices in the choir and youth group program. Well, it was a very interesting time, it was not easy but I learnt a lot of everything that I passed through. I could see more near to God, protecting me, giving me some friends in the Ministry to encourage me. I rest in God that He is never wrong and his Word that was shared will work in his time. Anyway, I praise the Lord for that time, because it helped me to understand his suffers and his love. I am not going to be this New Year there. So please pray for me, because I am praying for a new church to be involved. For this summer I am going to teach music at La Loma church , they were so exiting to learn ,so I said let’s study! Because they really want to learn… God open doors and He closes door, be his Name praised!
Girls Ministry: I was part of this ministry with 3 more girls; I was in charge of 4 churches: La Loma, Oro Verde, Los Seibos and Catan. At beginning was good, we had a special time with the leadership of girls. During the year they had girls meetings one or two time by month, they were studying a book prepared for them. So, one of these churches stoped the program but the others keep with the program. And I praise God for his Word that changes lives and is forming godly lives for his Glory and for our good.

I am thankful to God for let me part of his Ministry in Argentina, it was my first year working with Church Planting here, and I would like to share some prayer request:

For this New Year:
· God guides me in what Church I must be, in what place.
· I would like to keep learning more about music to give the best to God and his people, so it is God’s will, He can provide the place and money to study it.
· For good friends around me, because sometimes it is necessary.
· For wisdom, holiness, integrity, and clear vision to be sure in every step I do. To be in his will (right place, people, etc)
· For my financial support.
Thank you for your prayers; it had been a big blessing for my life and Ministry.
God bless you richly!!!!
And if God puts in your heart to be part of it financially, please let me know. It is my email:
