Feliz Navidad, and a Happy New Year from Argentina!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This past year has been filled with mission trips, Bible classes, sermon preparation, children\u2019s ministry, small groups, and outreaches. Above all, it has been a year of seeing God\u2019s faithfulness on display. He continues to amaze us with who He is and what He can do with our simple \u201cyes.\u201d Thank you for being a part of what God is doing here in Argentina, across South America, and to the ends of the earth!<\/p>\n

A lot has happened this year! Some of the best moments have been hosting wonderful guests and mission trip teams who have blessed us greatly here in Argentina, both personally and as a church conference. Their time and investment have made a lasting difference, and we are deeply grateful for each person who has been a part. Another amazing highlight has been hosting young people from around Argentina and South America who participated in the \u201cThe Call\u201d and \u201cMissions Intensive\u201d events that we hosted through The Awakening. During these events, participants received practical ministry training and were empowered to go out and follow Jesus to the ends of the earth. Our hearts are filled with gratitude as we reflect on these wonderful times of ministry and the moments of God\u2019s presence that we have shared together.<\/p>\n

Another highlight was leading two mission trips to Guatemala, where we ministered to more than 2,000 children over the course of both weeks. I (Abby) also had the opportunity to be a part of two mission trips to the north of Argentina, in the provinces of Misiones and Formosa, serving in children\u2019s outreaches, ministering in indigenous communities, and working with children in four different towns. On the last trip, we had the privilege of bringing Operation Christmas Child boxes to the kids. The joy of the Lord has been so evident throughout these outreaches, and it has truly been our strength.<\/p>\n

A special moment for us recently was finishing the school year at the Bible School. Three of our students graduated, and it was a wonderful time of celebration. We are excited to see the great ways the Lord will use their lives, as all three of them plan to dedicate themselves to full-time ministry. After graduation, we went on a three-day retreat with all our students, and we had a sweet time of fellowship, prayer, and lots of laughter.<\/p>\n

The Lord has been good to us, and we are expectant of what He has in store in 2026! We are already dreaming big dreams with Him for this coming year, and we covet your prayers. As always, thank you for your continued support and prayers. May God richly bless you and your family in this Christmas season and in every season. May you learn from His wonderful counsel, see His mighty hand at work in your life, feel the warm embrace of our Everlasting Father, and receive His peace.<\/p>\n

“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

QUERIDO SOCIO DE LA MISI\u00d3N,<\/span> <\/h3>

Saludos a ustedes en el poderoso nombre de Jesucristo nuestro Se\u00f1or y Salvador. S\u00e9 que has estado en cuarentena durante mucho tiempo debido a COVID19. Mi oraci\u00f3n ha sido para que Dios Todopoderoso te proteja y te mantenga seguro y fuerte. <\/p>

APRECIACI\u00d3N<\/span> <\/h3>

Quisiera agradecerles por sus continuas oraciones por m\u00ed y otros misioneros en todo el mundo. Sus contribuciones financieras mensuales me han mantenido en la obra de Dios en Tanzania. Muchas gracias. <\/p>

EL PROGRESO DEL TRABAJO EN EL CAMPO DE LA MISI\u00d3N<\/span> <\/h3>

He supervisado el trabajo de perforar un pozo en una de nuestras iglesias de PH en una comunidad llamada Mvumi. Esta iglesia est\u00e1 en una comunidad donde el agua es un bien escaso. Normalmente compran agua en cubos. Estaban muy contentos y agradecidos por el agua limpia. Gracias, Rev. Lloyd Ackerman, y los santos de la Unidad Christian Fellowship Church por apoyar este proyecto. <\/p>

\"Pueblo<\/a> <\/p>

LA IGLESIA MVUMI<\/span> <\/h3>

La iglesia de Mvumi no ten\u00eda paredes cuando Mrema se fue a su casa, pero comenzamos los trabajos de construcci\u00f3n en febrero, y ahora las paredes est\u00e1n levantadas. \u00a1Gloria a Dios! Gracias, SC Conference, por ayudar con este trabajo. Cuando el virus desaparezca haremos el piso y el yeso. <\/p>

PETICI\u00d3N DE ORACI\u00d3N<\/span> <\/h3>

Ore por la econom\u00eda de la iglesia en Tanzania. La mayor\u00eda de las familias solo tienen una peque\u00f1a porci\u00f3n de una comida al d\u00eda para sobrevivir. <\/p>

Gracias de nuevo y sigue siendo bendecido. <\/p>
