Team in Martinez

Today we're ministering in an area by the name of Martinez. We headed out from where we are staying at about 9:00 this morning and will be here all day, probably not returning until at least 10:30 tonight.

We first met at the church and then headed out to distibute tracts and flyers for the concierto (concert) that we will be putting on tonight at the church. Please pray that the concert would go well! The church is really hoping that this will be a great evangelism opportunity!

Those in the brass ensemble played on a couple different street corners while others of us handed out the flyers and tracts. Then we moved to the plaza (which is what most of their parks seem to be called) and set up a sound system and began playing instruments and singing. Quite a few people stopped and listened, and we were really able to get the word out about the concert tonight a la iglesia (at the church). Some of the team members made balloon animals for the kids that were in the park.

We enjoyed an excellent lunch of sloppy joes (probably some of the best that we've ever had) along with really good potato chips and some jello-mixed-with-whipped-cream dessert.

This evening we will be performing in the same plaza and then going to the church to play and sing there as well! Please pray that God would bring in unsaved souls to hear His Gospel, and that they would respond! Please pray that God would make us a blessing to the body of believers here in Martinez!

Jess also had an amazing conversation with a few Argentines, and she said that at least one of them seemed really close to accepting Christ! Pray for them to understand and to accept Christ, as well as to come to the church with any questions!

Thanks for your prayers thus far, they have been immensely appreciated. The fellowship that we have been able to enjoy with our brothers and sisters in Christ has been incredible!
