Mr. Medina said that members are experiencing God in renewal, are developing their spiritual gifts and are engaging in meaningful ministries. In addition, through the help of empowered lay leaders and pastoral teams, new congregations are being planted in Argentina, Bolivia and Uruguay. He added that members are experiencing the mighty power of prayer and that brethren are witnessing more. Painful perhaps at the beginning, but it has rendered good fruit. Hector Barrero, subregional coordinator for Colombia and Ecuador, also reports on positive developments in those two nations.
Members are happy with the changes.
We are enthusiastic with small groups. Ruth Gutierrez maintains member files. According to Mr. Medina, the Spirit is moving powerfully in the fellowship in the Southern Cone. In Salto, Uruguay, a lay pastor team was commissioned, and more than 20 new people are attending services. The children's ministry in Ezeiza, Argentina, is an inspiration to the whole region, and has brought new families to the church and into a relationship with Jesus.
