Trip to Uruguay

At the end of May we had a double purpose in making a trip to neighboring Uruguay:  one, to get our visas stamped and two, we wished to meet a pastor that has invited Violeta, one of our students, to join a team that will go to Haiti and work in an orphanage they are planning on building there. That has been her dream. To our surprise, pastor Jorge Marquez’ church is the largest evangelical one in Montevideo, Uruguay.  It is called “Misión Vida” and the name fits. Their mission is to help broken, destitute people get  cleaned up, alive in Jesus, and begin to live out the purposes God has for them.

We had the privilege of visiting 10 of their 25 communities where they take in men, women, mothers with children, single girls and give them a transformed life.  In each community they have a source of income and provision. They are growing gardens and selling the produce, raising pigs and cows, baking in their bakery, sewing, silk screening, producing radio and TV programs, and a newspaper, raising gold fish and building the aquariums to sell and crafting flowers.

The Lord has given each community a creative vision to be self sustaining.  It opened our eyes to all the possibilities of how to help people.  Many of the people that live here came out of a life of drugs, alcohol, and prostitution on the streets—often homeless, abused and left without any hope to survive.  The testimonies are incredible and heart wrenching.    We were personally touched too by how they welcomed us and cared for us while we were there!

Our theme for the retreat this year was “Seated together with Christ in heavenly places.”

True to that theme the Lord took care of  some difficulties: the team from the USA arrived

late, and without their luggage but it all showed up intact the next day. Everyone on the team

was a real trooper and got by with what they had in their carry-on luggage for a couple days.

The Lord’s glory and power came through as they ministered in 3 churches and participated

in the retreat. The spirit of the Lord came;  his fire and river flowed from one to the other

healing, restoring, and refreshing His servants We also got to know some Brazilian young

people and look forward to visiting them in November in their church. The time came and

went so quickly but many lives were touched profoundly according to the testimonies we are

hearing. The USA team also bought all kinds of supplies; dishes, pots & pans, utensils,

glasses, etc.,  for a feeding center that is run by a couple from our school,  Mario and Maria.

What a joy it was to bless this couple with these things and to bless their ministry.   Lately,

Shannon and Veronica have been going there every day to help at the feeding center.

Tea for William & Virginia

June 5th we had a tea for William and Virginia to inform the community and help them

out financially for their move to Asia. They hope to travel in August and to get settled

before school starts. They will be attending college and learning more of the language.

Also they will be involved with another person and helping out wherever the needs are.

We had a lot of fun setting the theme and ambiance and despite so many other commitments

we had a good turnout. We will definitely miss them but we know their hearts are there and we want

to bless them as they get ready to leave.
