We ended our last post with Theresa and me planning to join Javier on a five day ministry trip back up into the mountains of the Zona Pame to the west of the city. This return trip into the Pame region was planned for several reasons. First of all, this would allow Theresa and me to accompany Javier again in his ministry there before our planned departure date at the end of the month. Secondly, Javier wished to attend the UNTI Conference and wanted us to have the chance to do so as well (more on this conference in a minute). Then, finally, it was Javier\u2019s wish to knock on doors (literally and figuratively) and to begin to explore how to bring the gospel into the two municipal chief centers of Lagunillas and Arrollo Seco. A desire that I have mentioned in previous blogs. To our knowledge there was no Christian witness in either of these two important villages, and it is Javier\u2019s desire to deliver the gospel of Jesus Christ to both of them over this year and then to plant a church among new believers in each of these communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these objectives in mind we began to prepare for a second trip into the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday morning we were blessed to be able to again join Cristina and the women in attending the children at the Hidden Manna Feeding Program<\/em> in Buenos Aires where we were once more captured by the love and affection that they all lavish on the children there. Our hearts are always warmed by the hugs and kisses that we receive from the little ones who attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Buenos Aires we returned back to our rental house in order to rush around finishing last minute details and jobs that all needed to be taken care of before leaving mid-afternoon. We knew that we needed to get out of the city by no later than 4:00 pm in order to get through the mountains and to Santa Catarina before dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
