I received an email from Barry Secrest, our ministry partner in Uruguay. He and his family were taking a few days vacation on the coast near his first church plant in Atlantida. As some of you will recall, it was only last September that Barry reliquished the leadership of this church into the hands of a national whom he had spent years training. This national, Pastor Miguel, has been doing a tremendous job shepherding this flock since then. Barry and his family attended church there on Wednesday night, and were thrilled to find every seat filled and many, including his family, standing along the walls to hear God’s Word. What a thrill is was to hear how this work has continued to prosper under the leading of the Holy Spirit and in the hands of Pastor Miguel. Barry did not share numbers for that night, but he did share that the previous Sunday Morning there were 145 in attendance. Praise God for working so mightily in this place. With every report, we grow more and more eager to reach our goal and begin our labors in this needy country.
