Team Report

We're home as you all probably know. Please join us for our team report in the Choir room at GSCC--at 7:00p.m. Saturday August 23rd. We'd love to see you all there.


BTW--we are 100% funded. Thank you all again.
We were also 100% covered in prayer--thanks for that especially!

From Derryn

Derryn preaches at Figuiera, enjoying the trip back, and Derryn hangs out with kids at the orphanage

Shelley and Trini hanging out, in the Central Plaza at Rosario with the kids and more of the central plaza

Hello. I am happy to say that CJ and I(Derryn) are getting better. I have had a fever for the past couple days and CJ has had a cough and congestion and stuff. I'm sorry to announce, however, that everyone else on our team is getting increasingly ill. So if you're reading this you have no excuse not to pray for them. Today we are going to Rosario again. We went there yesterday with 9-11 year olds. Today it's with the 12-18 year olds. It will be exciting. Rosario is a small village, of one million residents, about two hours from San Nicolas. We will be shopping and partaking at the local Burger King.
Here is what I have thought of the trip so far:
We have felt the Holy Spirit leading us every day. CJ wrote this in the previous blog but I'll just remind you. It was last Friday night and up to that point I don't know that anyone had gotten saved. So that night when we were praying as a team I prayed that God would allow us to see some people get saved. So the next day(Saturday) we did our puppet show thing and they asked all the visiting kids to come to the front if they wanted to get saved. So sixty kids came to the front and accepted Christ. So we need to give God all the glory for that because if that was the only good thing that happened on this trip it would have been worth it.
But God has helped us with everything. None of us are preachers at all but every time we had to preach God gave us audiences that needed to hear exactly what we said. There are many things that each of us could have done better as far as all that went but I believe anything we did right was because of God anyway. We have felt all of your prayers and we have needed each one more than we can say to thank you for that.
we're coming home soon.

A toast for Taylor...
You missed out.

From C.J.

The thrill of a good balloon and the agony of a bad one--on our way to another show.

Tara, Jess and C.J. painted faces in Chacabuco's central park, CJ and Derryn do their statue pose and Claudio and Tito find signs of the mother country

Hanging out after one of the shows, CJ admires his handywork and 60 kids prayed to receive Christ in Baradero

The past few days haven't been as busy as the days in Pergamino. However they still are keeping us busy. I personally have preached twice already, Derryn will preach tonight and my dad has already preached again. I think we all have a done a great job and our spirits are still high. Yesterday was great for us. We witnessed 60 kids come to know Christ. What's funny is Derryn prayed to be able to see someone get saved. That was great to see. Then our group split up and Tara and I went to this "no fun and games" (LOL) Baptist church where I preached and the rest went to another church in Empalme where my dad preached. So it was a father-son preaching night. Then we met up for dinner and talked about our plans. After tonight, we are done preaching and doing puppet shows. We are on the home stretch.
Prayer request: Derryn and I especially have been sick. We are battling some sort of cold and everything that goes with it. It has been draining on me and Derryn and others have had it to some extent. Pray for healing please.
