Dear friend,
It is a pleasure to write you and share about the ministry that I am able to develop here in Argentina. I always remember you in my prayers and miss you so much.
Actually I am in a ministry called Foundation of Churches, from which 16 churches have been founded. I am in the one called Bible Missionary Church of Cañuelas
It was the first church founded over 20 years ago, but it is if as if it recently begun because there was a division in the church 3 years ago. We thank God that now it is much better and is growing. I now have the following responsibilities:
· Music School: We teach our students to play the guitar and piano and to sing.
We started in April and now have a group of 12 students of different ages. The goal is to have people who can be part of a stable chorus in the church and to also have new musicians by the end of the year. This is my prayer and I know that God will do it if we are faithful and diligent. Thanks be to God for the people we have already reached for Christ through this ministry, four who received Christ as their Savior and other girls who are returning to Him and being discipled. Every Saturday morning we have classes. We also practice on Sunday before the main meeting so that in July we can have the worship group set. We’re also prepared songs for Father’s Day. Pray for us to be Worshipers in Spirit and in Truth, because the Father is looking for worshippers like this.
Ministry of Growing Together: It is a program where we prepare girls to 
be leaders in their local churches. Once a month we do something special: breakfast, excursions, pajama parties. My responsibility is to prepare 5 girls who will carry the ministry forward in my place next year. Pray that I will be able to teach them to work together as a team, in humility and love. Lord willing on Sunday we will begin a Bible study group with older girls as there is a great need for this too. Please pray for this.
· Bible Club:
I help with the music; program and whatever else may need to be done. We go out to help with programs in new churches, including sports outreaches. This year I am assisting the leaders’ wife with the supervision of the discipleship program until she is able to do it by herself.
·
· Discipleship: I actually have 3 girls now to disciple after delegating the others to different girls that are involved in discipleship, because there was not time to fulfill the other responsibilities. However, I am always in contact with the disciples and it is so good to help them since I remember passing through that time and actually continue learning. Pray for wisdom
During the week I also work in the office of Foundation of Churches...
attending to the students while managing the evangelistic and discipleship materials and doing whatever else my boss Eduardo needs done. I’m there Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and then leave on Friday to go to my ministry in the Cañuelas church. In God`s Grace I can do everything, thanks again for your prayers because trough it I am able to renueve strength and energy to keep going!
Lasting, I help translate and share the gospel in different neighborhoods on the highway when there are evangelistic campaigns.
On Wednesdays, I am finishing to study Singing in the city of San Justo in order to get a certificate that would help me reach all types of people with the gospel of Christ. I already shared my faith but I am waiting that they decide to receive Jesus… This is my prayer and although it is difficult, but it is not impossible with GOD! I have to travel 3 hours to get over there and to return to Monte 3 hours too.
Monday is my day of rest and I use it to accomplish personal tasks such as planning, studying my Bible, working for my support and doing other favors.
Well, I try not to write too much, hoping that you can understand everything. Once again, thank you for your prayers; they are necessary so please do not cease to pray. There are many challenges this year and for the future. Later on I will describe them in more detail, but this is all for now.
I desire that you will be well. It makes me very happy to hear from some of you through face book and others through different ways of communication.
May God bless you and I want to share with you a few prayer requests:
· For wisdom in all that God allows me to do and to decide.
· For integrity in my heart to bring glory to God
· For provision for my support (Sometimes it is a burden, but I have to put it in God’s hands.)
· For His guidance in all that He is asking me to do.
Many blessings!
Blessings…
Patricia Luis (Ephesians 3:20)
