Dear Pastor, Church, Family, and Friends
Thank you for your prayers and support. We have now been in Chile for one year, and are amazed at all God has let us be a part of. God has proven faithful in every circumstance and situation that we have faced. He is a loving father.
May and June were busy months in the life and ministry of the church. We had our first missions conference. It was exciting seeing the church support the meeting and enjoy the services and fellowship. We took up our first faith promise commitments. And with the faith promise commitments we will begin supporting a missionary from Peru who is laboring in Uruguay.
We also finished our English courses and had a special service that coincided with our missions conference recognizing those who had completed the course. There were people from the english class that attended the service that heard the gospel and made professions of faith in Christ.
Erica and I also had opportunities to start teaching in Spanish. I started out by sharing a verse in the children’s Sunday School class and Erica was able to teach a group of young ladies where two people made professions of faith in Christ.
We had special services for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, men’s ladies reunions, and a special meeting for married couples also. And best of all Erica and I completed language school. Really, it feels like we are just getting started.
We have seen the Lord save souls, restore marriages, strengthen homes, mend relationships, and build His church. And we have had a front row seat to all of this because of your prayers and support. Thank You.
In Christ,
The Smitheys
