God is an Awesome God!

Hi dear friends and brothers and sisters in the faith. We hope that when you receive this letter, you are well and enjoying God`s blessings.

We want to thank you for your support, your prayers and your love, in addition to sharing with you something of what God is doing in Uruguay and in our lives.

Please forgive us for not having sent out our prayer letter/update this past year as often as previously. Without wishing to make excuses, we assure you that we have been very busy and it was quite difficult to adjust to our new life style of living. We will try to do better this year!!!

Theological Studies

We thank God that we got though our first year in the seminary with excellent grades. The subjects we took were: New Testament Introduction, Old Testament Introduction, Systematic Theology, Pedagogy, Inductive Methodology, Evangelism, Research and Writing, Worship, Homiletic, Faithful Stewardship, Missions, and Spiritual Living. As you can see, we had a good variety of content. We both enjoyed the studies in spite of the hard work involved.

Youth Group

This group commenced in March, and we have grown from nobody to usually about ten every Saturday. It isn´t a easy task, since they are not all consistent in attending meetings nor in they walk with the Lord, but we are trusting that with God’s help we will see a change in they lives.
Some are beginning to do Bible studies and seem to be growing spiritually. We are confident that our work will not be in vain. (1 Cor. 15:58)

Children

This work is vey different! We are using the AWANA program, which helps us to reach out the families by means of the children, and the work team with which we are working believes that a special emphasis should be applied to this ministry. Deltha teaches the 9 and 10 years old and gets more and more involve in the ministry.

Cell Group

Every Wednesday at 7pm we have a Bible study in our home, with the aim of reaching new people for Christ. We started in May and now we have a group of 15, more than a half of whom have never attended a Christian church. In March, we plan to multiply into 2 groups, one in our house y the other in the house of another member of the church.

Mission trip

A group of 8 members in their late teens and early twenties will be going in the middle of January to a youth conference in Cordoba, Argentina. With a big focused in missions. After the conference, will be going for two weeks to different places in South America to get practice in missionary work. We (Deltha & Alex) are going to Puno, Peru, working with the “Aimaras”. Others are going to places in Peru, Chile and Argentina. From Puno, we are going to share and teach in a youth camp in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.

Uruguayan papers

God willing, in the next few days Deltha will get the document she needs to stay in Uruguay. Alejandra, a Mexican we met onboard the ship (Logos 2), has been a great help in obtaining the document we needed from Mexico. Thank you Ale!!!

Thanksgiving

We are grateful to God for His help and care during of our first year of marriage. Both of us has questions and concerns, but we have probed that God is worthy of our confident in Him.

A special blessing

God allowed Deltha to return to his beautiful country of Mexico to spend both, Christmas and her birthday with her family. We had though for sometime that it was necessary that she visited her family, but we didn’t know how it would be possible. However, the Lord made it possible, and for that we are thankful to Him.
One again, many thanks for you support, love, prayers and friendship. God has blessed us through you! May you also know the blessing of God in your life!

Much Latin love, Deltha & Alex
