Dear Pastors and Praying Friends, March and April 2011

Souls Saved:
What a blessing it is to see the results of much labor. There was our time spent on deputation raising the funds to come to Chile. After arriving, we got settled in and began learning Spanish and getting accustomed to the culture. After this time we started searching for a church building to get started in. God gave us a good location and we had our first service on October the 24th, 2010. Almost four months after our first service this February, we saw our first soul saved. His name in Henry and he is 14 years old. I would ask that you pray for him. Now that he knows Christ as his personal Saviour, it is so important that he grows in the Lord. Also in February, we had two ladies that trusted Jesus as their Saviour. Their names are Cosette and Eugenia. As with Henry, they need to grow in the grace and in the knowledge of Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We praise the Lord for the fruit that we have seen.

Camp:
At the end of January and the first of February, about seven churches participated in an annual youth camp. The focus was for the youth to take the maximum risk in their Christian walk. Youth are challenged to do many things in their life and it’s not all bad things. The unfortunate thing is that they are not usually challenged to do much for their Lord. Pray for these young people to step out and do something for God. I had one young boy named Ivan who came up and hugged my neck one night after service because he became a child of the King. What a blessing seeing God do a work in their hearts! Continue to pray for the next generation.

Growing Church:
We thank God that our church is steadily growing. We are starting to see people who are being faithful to the house of God. This has been a true blessing. I Corinthians 3:5-7 “5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.” We thank God that He gives the increase.

Sincerely Yours In Christ,

Chris and Stephanie McBryar
