Coming very soon: Outreach to South

Hey! 

As I wrote in the end of the last post we are about to leave to another outreach, this time to the South of Argentina. We are leaving in nine days and will stay for almost three weeks. 

We were invited to take our musical to eight different cities in the South. The shows will be at theaters and schools. The good part is that the audience is already there because it's going to be part of their school schedule. 

"El Viaje de los Hermanos Luna” is our own original musical with lots of colors, noises, laughter and a really good message. Through the play we want to tell the children and people of every age that there is another option for our boring and problematic lives. The solution is personal encounter with “The King of Lights” who represents God. This is such a great opportunity to share this important message to hundreds of kids!

So these last days have been long days of production: wardrobe, choreographies and props. I myself have been composing the new tracks we want to add to the play. To be honest the musical is getting better than ever before!

I write most of the music on computer but we also record real instruments.

The new wardrobe is getting even more colorful!

There are people in the South organizing the whole tour and they are in charge of the internal transport and accommodation. However we have to buy our plane tickets. In our team we are families and young adults, twenty people in total. The half of us have their tickets already, but the rest are still with this economical challenge.

The price of one return ticket is around $300 USD. 

If you are willing to help me or our team please let me know! We also need your prayers, there are a lot of spiritual warfare going on, especially in the area of health. 

Bless you all!

work hard, pray hard

Hi!

The thing is that my life here in the base is just so full of different things and event etc that I could never record them all here! The last weeks have been busy once again even though last weekend was really calm. 

I show you some photos to tell you a bit what's going on here.

KIDS' DAY

On the Kids' day we had an event for all the kids of the neighborhood 

We had an important role to perform: 

The opening dance of the kids' day

There were also some games and teaching.
During that time I was praying for the parents
 who wanted us to pray for their lives.

In the end of the day every kid received a bag of some personal hygiene items.

 PARTY

Lucca's birthday party

The theme of the party...

Ok, this was just a small part of everything I have been doing. But maybe you'll have more idea now.

Ultimately God has been treating my heart once again. Hah, that's a nice way to tell the things! But yeah, I passed through a time where I was economically really challenged. I tried my best to trust on God and I was able to see His faithfulness week after week and day after day. There were days without any money but not a single day without good food! But the situation continued until I really had to confess that my trust wasn't fully on God but still on people. God used this all to break my pride and put my trust fully on Him. He has been always faithful and He will be. 

Thank you all my supporters and people praying for me! I love to live my life when there're your kind of people walking with me!

God is already treating me with different things, but it's another story... Maybe I'll tell you next time!

Be super blessed and rejoice in the Lord!

like I never was away

I have been here in Buenos Aires now for one week and half or something. However it feels like a month or something! Here at the base we'll always have our days so full. I have also adapted myself here well I guess, so actually I almost feel I never was away from here.

Something I have already done. I designed a flyer to advertise Hiram's concert in Puerto Rico. Hiram is leading the art ministry with his wife Paula, but now he's in Puerto Rico raising some funds to the family. I also made a short video to advertise the concert. 

I have also been working with another video: AME school 2013. Our ministry starts running a 6 month art school for dancers, actors and musicians. That was the reason I first came to Argentina last year - to do the AME school 2011. Anyway, with this video I'm working with we want to promote the school. I'll post it here at soon as it's ready!

I'm also making some paper work to get a residence of Argentina so I wouldn't need to get out of the country every 3 months... It has already been a bit of work... Praise God I have friends helping me with this complicated paper stuff. Btw, it's all in Spanish...

I have been playing keyboard in some worship times and also practiced with Jeremy's band. This Monday we also got together with some artists to have a small Bible study in downtown. Oh, and I also started my singing classed once again!

This all has been a lot of work but we have also celebrated! My friend's brother got married last Saturday! Jonatan did the art school with me and I have become to know his brother by visiting his house a lot. I was so happy for the invitation and even more happy that I actually got the opportunity to participate la fiesta.

Jonatan did the AME school with me in 2011. Maika did her DTS in the same time. They didn't get married.

They did!

From the beginning of la fiesta.

Few hours later...

Today we had El Día Del Niño (Children's day) here in Argentina. As a base we arranged a big party and invited all the kids from the neighborhood to come. 150 kids came today for few hours to the base. 

We played some games and ate some sweet things. But this year we also shared something important to the children. During the day we talked about child abuse and how to prevent oneself from sexual abuse. Here in Buenos Aires it's such a great problem so we wanted to bless these kids with this really important message. It's not an easy theme to talk but we had prepared few plays to make things easier to understand. Every child also received a book with the important message how to keep oneself safe.

"¡Felíz Día del Niño! un regalo inolvidable"
- I worked the whole morning (4 hours) making this...

From the play: Grandma telling her grandchildren
how to take care of one's private parts.

Happy kids with their books in the end of the day.

The day was long and stressing but everything went super well. With all kids we prayed Jesus to come into our life. Some kids also shared their experiencies about some kind of abuse. Most of the kids had their parents with them so we were also able to share with them what we have on our heart.

I'm giving thanks for:

• I had the opportunity to be in the wedding
• I have seen many of my friends again!
• How God used us to minister the kids of this neighborhood today
• God answered all my prayers I posted last time!

I'm praying for:

• everything that has to do with my residence... The whole process is a bit complicated
• deeper encounters with God 
• my finances - it has been a step of faith to come here again for such a long time
