Church & Sunday School

Yesterday was a typical Argentine Sunday for us. We went to Sunday School and church at Nueva Vida (New Life) Baptist Church. Olga, the SS teacher, did a good job leading us to study Romans 9. Everyone was around the table with Bibles open and listening and interjecting points or asking questions, etc. It was a good Bible study time. That's a picture of us around the table (actually I'm taking the picture so my spot is vacant!).

I'm also including a picture of the church building to give an idea of what one of the churches here looks like. The church is more than 25 years old and has a turbulent history after becoming a church. None of the charter members are still alive. Right now they are looking for a pastor and Clayton is serving on the pastor search committee. The former pastor was really an interim and he resigned at the end of last year. He has a full-time job working with drug addicts so didn't have the time to devote to the membership and do all that he thought needed to be done. He and his wife still attend there. Another former pastor is also a member and preaches from time to time but he is retired and isn't able to devote much time to the work there. Please pray that a pastor can soon be found.
