Family: Thank you so much for praying for Emily and her pregnancy. So far with every doctor’s visit everything has checked out great. Please pray for an easy and natural birth. Emily is due at the end of November.
Victory in Rosario: After our youth conference in July we had a special event on August the 19th for Children’s Day. For two hours our church was packed out with children playing games, eating snacks, and hearing the Gospel story. We made many contacts through this event, and will be following up with these families.
Faith in Pergamino: In August we started an institute on Wednesday nights. Please pray as the church members grow in their faith.
Building for Victory: The building process is going a little slower than I had planned. There are a few things that I need to complete for the municipality before we can begin building. Please join us in prayer as we raise funds for the building of Victory Baptist Church. If you would like to donate to the building fund you can send your donation made out to Shawn Bateman to our mission board and place “Building Project” in the memo. All funds will go to the building project.
Faith Baptist Church in Pergamino: In Pergamino we have found a building and rented it. We hope to be able to start services in the new building by the end of August.
Traveling: I just returned from Arequipa, Peru, where I was invited to preach in Lighthouse Baptist Church’s missions conference. Pastor Juan Pacheco and the church were such gracious hosts. What a blessing it was to hear updates and testimonies each night of national pastors who have been sent out of the church, and how God is blessing their ministries throughout Peru. Pray for me in the month of September; I’ll be preaching a family conference in Ecuador with missionary Kason Bloom and his church.
Prayer Points:
- Pray for new families to be added to our churches.
- Pray for all the needs to be met for our building project.
- Pray for our churches as we prepare for furlough.
