Update from Argentina

Twenty eight members of the Unity Christian School family are in Argentina this week as UCS celebrates Missions Emphasis Week. While others at UCS are learning about missions and serving in the community, these 28 people have gone to Argentina to share their faith through a dramatic dance performance entitled Spellbound. The following email message was sent to Mr. Getchell and Mr. Davis by Mr. Jolly, a teaching pastor at Three Rivers Church and a member of the UCS faculty who is a member of the traveling party.

Hello,

It’s evening, and Mr. Poston and I are preparing to leave for a speaking engagement in a Gypsy church out in the rural areas. It’s getting late, and we are all tired, but we have had two very good days of work.

The students have been in front of hundreds of kids at every level and have sowed the Gospel message well. I am proud of their attitude and discernment. They have displayed to me that they know the Gospel and care about it being communicated well. They have given effort both physically and emotionally to make that happen. UCS should be proud of them.

All are physically well, but a bit tired. After a good night’s sleep they will do the rounds again tomorrow culminating in a service at a final church where our translator Michael works and attends.

Pray for physical strength. Pray for patience in the heat. Pray for the Holy Spirit to make Christ known and lift the veil of unbelief from their eyes.
