The last half of the Adventure!

The last part of the team adventure was in Bajo Grande a small community about an hour in the other direction going away from the city then Atamisqui. During this time the team got to minister at the Baptist Church at Bajo Grande but playing volleyball with the youth, telling the testimonies, preaching, and just loving on the them! Who says you're too old to play! Katie loving on some sweet girls!

Dust Storms are not good on the eyes but they do add texture to the walls!

Most of the 6 working days that the team was here were used to paint the First Aid Station and show 2 movies to the public at Atamisqui. During the day the team painted and at night they showed, "Fireproof" and a Billy Graham movie. The movies were well received and the team was even invited one day for lunch over to the school. God opened a lot of doors that week just by the presence of the team in that small town. Everyday as we drove into Atamisqui we knew we were getting close because a dust storm would start to pick-up. We knew it was the devil trying to keep us away but he was going to have to do a lot more then that to keep us from doing Gods will that week!

Atamisqui: Prayer Walking

On August 10th, a team from Maysville, GA came to Santiago del Estero, Argentina to work in a part of the interior that needs to know about God with urgency. Atamisqui is a small area about an hour outside of the capital city. Atamisqui is known to be a very dark place spiritually with very few known believers. The first day of work was used for orientation and prayer walking of the small town. The 7 member team came prepared to paint the First Aid Station as their "open door" into the community.

Team 2: Maysville, GA

Hitting the Ground Running! The 7 member team from Maysville, Ga came to Santiago del Estero ready to do whatever God opened the door for them to do. They started their first full-day off with orientation and prayer walking in a new area of the interior that Jay Cook (head missionary) is working on opening, Autamishqui.

Who is a missionary?

We are all missionaries, we just have different fields of service. What is yours? I am an international missionary, I get to meet people of all different nationalities and become friends with them, you can too. No matter where you live or what you do our world is very diverse and there are people who need Jesus all around us, reach out to them!
