Jovenes Conectados – Connected Youth (sounds better in Spanish!!)

Our theme this year for camp was Jovenes Conectados or Connected Youth in English. It doesn’t sound very cool in English but it was very effective in Spanish. Mike was the speaker for the second week of 12-14 year old teens. We divided the campers in to four teams – Twitter, Yahoo, Google, and Facebook – for game time and small group counsel time.

In the first two camps of teenagers we had 152 campers. We saw 9 teens accept the Lord as Savior (two of those I was privileged to lead) and over 40 other decisions were made. Our church in Junín sent 8 campers to these camps and many of them made personal decisions for the Lord.

Now we have the last camp to go. The hardest one of all. The most numerous camp of 8-11 year olds.  It is a lot of work and the noise level triples!! It’s probably the most fun camp because children of this age are so tender and loving and don’t have many inhibitions. They play their hearts out and are very open to listen to God’s Word.

Pray for our camp season that what we are able to sow the churches here in Argentina will be able to reap all year long!  Sandy

Old Times and a New Year

I know I promised pictures of the construction but we have been put on hold for a little while as we wait for our windows to be made and the glass to come in.  But, it's all in God's good timing.  Camp season is quickly coming and that takes up 4 weeks of our summer!!  I am happy to say that God blessed above our expectations and provided the funds to order all the windows and doors!  It's so exciting to know that it won't be long now until we will finally be able to have regular meetings in the church's own building and also to collect on all the promises of visitors when we inaugurate.

The last few days have seem liked old times for us.  Our son Michael was able to come visit for about 13 days.  It feels like he had never left for college.  Once again we have had our house full of young people just hanging out! But, reality is approaching too quickly.  In a few days we will be taking Michael back to the airport to say good-bye and to send him off, far away... 


We are so extremely excited about  2011!!  Sometimes I just can't get my mind around all the things that I know the Lord has in store for us!  And I'm not even considering the things that are unexpected.  It's going to be a great year!


I'll try and post about our camps that are coming up. We have 3 of them in a row so it may take me a week or so to get caught up.


Have a blessed 2011 everyone!!
