Pray and Ask Expectantly!

God has been working mightily in Chile. Let us praise him for that. Two new outreach programs have started up this month in two locations. The missionaries have been partnering with pastor Abner in these works. Every Saturday morning the Tomlinsons head out with Abner to Entruco and Saturday afternoon the Snyders head out with Abner to San Ramon. These children programs consist of Bible storying, songs, and games. The hope is that these programs will introduce the gospel to many children, and into families, and then perhaps a new church plant that will reach the community. A children’s outreach event like this recently happened in Nueve de Julio, where God granted them a wonderful turnout! Eighty people showed up for the outreach event and many of them stayed to watch the Jesus film! Also, God has been such an encouragement and a provider for the missionaries, showing that His hand is in this work. Please read The Snyder’s Feb. 22 blog post to see the neat way that God showed His sovereignty for the sake of the Mapuche ministry. Also, praise God that the Snyders were incredibly blessed by their recent visit from Jessica’s parents. God is so good.


Praise God:

• For being a sovereign provider and encourager to the missionaries
• For what He has been doing in Chile and for what He will do
• For the fruit he has produced in the children's ministries
• For the team coming to Chile in March

Ask God:

• To prepare the Mapuche people and the Second Baptist Church group for their March mission trip, so that there will be new believers because of it
• To use the children’s ministries in San Ramon, Entruco, and Nueve de Julio to share the gospel and produce a community of new Christ-followers
• To protect the missionaries and local believers against spiritual warfare.
• To help Heraldo in his efforts to follow up after ministry events and form home bible study groups by raising up helpers and new home bible study members
• To bless the efforts of David and Linda Hinds, who are doing work on the coast
• To guide the missionary team as they undergo changes in strategy and direction in reaching the Mapuche people
