We could tell the story in a dozen different ways. Looking back we can clearly see how God has sustained and blessed during our eighth term of ministry in Chile. Statistics can’t tell the whole story of the variety of ministries God has allowed us to be a part of. The video below summaries the Lord’s working in Chile from a perspective of church growth and church planting, through our family and the Church we’re presently serving in, the New Life Baptist Church.
Please take a look at how God has opened doors of opportunity to multiply our church planting efforts in Chile. The video does not include all of our areas of service, and so in the future we will, through other means, inform about the Editorial “Crece” (Grow Publishers), the Baptist Bible Seminary, and the interaction with sister Baptist churches. Dave works with many other churches in the steps required to gain their own properties and facilities. Dave and Ruth Ann partner with a tremendously gifted and dedicated ABWE Chile team as well.
Thank you to all you partner with us! To those who care, who pray, who give and who have shared with us in Chile the work of Church planting.
Este blog nace de una profunda gratitud al Autor de la vida, al eterno "YO Soy," quien me dio todo lo que tengo y lo que soy. Sin El, nada sería.
Pero como no todos en el mundo han llegado a conocerle, también procuro dar una razón por la fe que tengo. Es una razón no basada en emociones ni en la intuición o el esperar algo mejor. Sino la razón está fundamenta en la verdad eterna, que no es incambiable y que es defensible, la verdad de Dios, el Creador y Sustentador de este mundo.
** Para los que se dedican a las credenciales, aquí están las de este autor, profesor, y misionero: 35 años viviendo en un país adoptivo, 39 años esposo de una misma dama, padre de 4 hijos destacados, abuelo de 4 tiernos nietos, amigo y compañero de colaboradores que han visto mis fallas y aun me llaman su amigo.
ENGLISH:
This blog is born of deep gratitude to the Author of life, to the eternal "I Am," who gave me everything I have and what I am. Without Him, nothing would be.
But as not everyone in the world has come to know him, I also try to give a reason for the faith I have. It is a reason not based on emotions or intuition or expecting something better. But the reason is based on the eternal truth, which is not unchanging and is defensible, the truth of God, the Creator and Sustainer of this world.
** For those who are dedicated to credentials, here are those of this author, profesor, and missionary: 35 years living in an adoptive country, 39 years husband of the same lady, father of 4 outstanding children, grandfather of 4 sweet grandchildren, friend and partner of collaborators who have seen my failures and still call me their friend.
