Greetings from Mar del Plata, from the coast of Argentina!
A worship time on the beach |
We have been already more than a week here on outreach and it's a good time to write something.
We came here on the Saturday 1st. Our bus was almost 3 hours late and the AC didn't work, but finally we got here. Gabriel and Joel came on a van and they also had their own adventure when a random driver decided to give a punch Gabriel. Well, they ended up to a police station to figure out what happened.
We're living in a house we're renting. Since we are more than 20 people including 5 marrieged couples and 5 kids we don't fit all inside. So I sleep with the guys in a tent outside and two of the couples are taking turns with another tent. We have two bathrooms, one kitchen and the living room serves us as dining room and girls' bedroom as well. Till now we're doing great, not big fights or anything hehe.
Almost every one of us |
The house is like 15 blocks from the beach and we've been able to go there few times. I'm working hard to look a bit more latino, but I still working on that.
So our main tool to evangelize is our musical. El viaje de los hermanos Luna is a story of three siblings who are taken to a new world. In that new kingdom they find answers to their questions and core issues and finally got to meet up with the King of Light. The musical is for the whole family and the message is quite straight in the end.
We perform the musical in 5 days every week, last week we had already a full week. The thing is that even though we've already handed out 10.000 flyers, just a few people have come to see the play. The other musicals are doing great. It's sad but maybe because they are all about transvestists, gays, gossip etc. During our play there are always a group of guys in the same theatre putting their woman make up for the transvestist show of the night.
Oh, what's my part in the musical? I'm working on the back stage. Before the show starts I prepare the set off and during the play I take care of the props. As well I have been working with all our promotion and flyers and the huge banner.

Flyers and new friends |
So in general we're doing very well. We have already paid the house and theatre and we've got some sponsors to provide some snacks. Thank you so much for your support!
What really upholds us is the daily moments of intercession and worship. To be honest we're not playing around here but in the midst of a spiritual war. So every prayer for us is more than welcome and needed!
Motives to praise:
- the financial provision of our team
- the health we all have
- we're doing well with our interpersonal relationships
Prayer requests:
- for more people to come to see the play
- for discernment and wisdom in this difficult atmosphere
- please pray for my niece in the hospital recovering from surgeries!!!
