MISSIONARY LETTER

Formosa, Argentina

 

Brothers and Sisters in the Faith:

 

“I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.  My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth”—Psalm 121:1,2.  We rejoice with the Psalmist. Our strength is in Him, Christ the Lord.

 

We want to bring you up to date with what is happening here.  We are going through a stage of change in which our pastoral vision is to create a spirit of togetherness.  We also are working on establishing coordinated administrative procedures and goals. 

 

Last year we had 58 baptisms after going through a course of preparation.  Baptismal services are always very emotional and moving. 

 

Back in August we celebrated Missionary Day, using the date when our dear missionary John Dring arrived from England in 1935.  He was a man with a vision for Formosa.

 

At our school there are special courses for all our teachers with the purpose of strengthening their spiritual lives.  It is used to focus on Bible instruction while also providing sports and recreational activities.  There is a new government requirement that all secondary schools must offer a complete program up to the  twelfth grade (our programs go to the  ninth).  Therefore we are evaluating our options on how to provide additional space.  We have also approached the government for assistance. 

 

We remain thankful for your help and prayers.  May the grace of God be with you.
