We are the Henry family. We have been serving Jesus as missionaries in Argentina since 2016. My wife Leslie and I have four beautiful daughters who serve the Lord alongside us. We are planting churches and training men to advance the Gospel in Argentina and around the world. It is not always easy, but God has been with us every step of our journey! He is so good to us! This blog is designed to take you on the journey with us. We have posts ranging from quick updates, to unique cultural norms and mores, to thoughts on world evangelism, to our monthly prayer letters. Our blog is updated often, be sure to check back and go on this journey with us!

Celebrating Anniversaries and Advancing the Gospel
We had a packed schedule in March, with the arrival of missionaries Robbie and Lauren Prater, who will be doing their language school and cultural acquisition with us, we also had another couple married at Faith Baptist Church, and we started the next semester of the Bible College with seven students! On March 25, we celebrated eight years in Argentina! God has been so good to us over the past eight years! We have seen people saved, baptized and discipled, we are seeing men trained for the ministry, God has been faithful through it all!
This month we will be celebrating the seventh anniversary of Faith Baptist Church in Lanús. Pastor Matías is doing a great job leading the church and we look forward to being a part of their anniversary service! We also are continuing the work at Hope Baptist Church, this month, we started a weekly outreach program and the Lord is honoring our efforts with first time visitors! We also began our small group Sunday School classes with two separate classes! One of the big projects we have taken on in both churches is to revamp our discipleship program, we have worked through everything and will now be implementing the new program, especially in Hope Baptist Church! Great things are going on at both churches, thank you for your faithful prayers and support!

Salvation, Baptisms, and Weddings
We had a very busy February and we are grateful for how the Lord is working in the ministry. Samuel has been visiting Hope Baptist Church for a few weeks, after preaching a message on salvation, he called me the following day and we talked about the message. The following week he accepted Jesus as Savior! We also had four baptisms this month, two at Faith Baptist Church and two at Hope Baptist Church. We also had a very special day at Faith Baptist Church, Eric and Sofi got married on February 10, they met at the church, they got to know each other there and have served the Lord together in the music ministry. We are thrilled to see how God has brought them together! Please pray for them as they begin their a new life together!
We have another special wedding in March at Faith Baptist Church! Diego and Xoana met years ago but were recently saved, and they want to honor God with their lives, they will be getting married on March 15! We are excited for them! We also start back with the Bible College this month, the guys who are studying for the ministry are serving and directing specific ministries, they are faithful and continue to grown. God is at work at both Faith Baptist Church and Hope Baptist Church. Thank you for praying for the ministry God has given us!

February 2024 Missions Letter
We have spent months planning for 2024 at Faith Baptist Church. The leadership and I have met, prayed over the year, planned out the calendar, set forth the theme for the year, the preaching schedule, making sure that each man training for the ministry has opportunities to serve in the ministry, and to preach in special services throughout the year. With all of our planning and preparation, God gave us a new opportunity that has changed the course of 2024, and we are honored and excited! There is a church plant in Ezeiza, about 30 minutes from Faith Baptist Church that a missionary family planted a year and a half ago. The missionary family has recently resigned as missionaries and returned to the States. We were asked to take the church plant. After praying and receiving counsel from our Pastor, we have taken Hope Baptist Church. The church is very young and is a great opportunity to reach others in the area! We had a special Sunday night service in January, and we had the largest attendance in the history of the church! Please pray for Faith Baptist Church and Hope Baptist Church as we lead the ministries. This is an incredible opportunity to advance the Gospel of Jesus! We planned other things for 2024 and we are so thankful for how God has added to those plans to include our new church plant, Hope Baptist Church!
Serving Together,
Patrick, Leslie, Lily, Piper, Ivy, and Isla Henry
