This past week, Jerry and Armentia Adams and myself made a quick trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina to meet with a local pastor named Milton Claussen. Milton is a bi-vocational pastor of a Baptist church in the heart of a city of 18 million people. Within a three-mile radious of their church live over 300,000 people, most of whom do not have a personal relationship with Jesus. This is the only evangelical church in that area. Their average attendance is fifty. Reminds me of the words of Jesus . . .
The harvest of plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send workers.
We are praying about a partnership with Pastor Milton and the Iglesia Christiana Batista in Buenos Aires to work together in strengthening believers and planting a new church in the region. HDBC will seek to send three teams (4 members each) per year for three years to work with and alongside this church. The local church is the hope of the world. God has called HDBC to take the good news around the world. This partnership will be one way that we can do so. I am excited to see how God will direct Pastor Milton and his church, HDBC, and missionaries Mark and Melissa Hobson who are overseeing this partnership.
