Broadway Baptist Returns to Uruguay!
Last week Broadway Baptist Church from Springfield, MI, returned for the second time to Uruguay to work with GAP. It was great seeing so many “old friends” again as well as meeting a few new ones who joined their team this year.
The group worked in the small town of Juan Lacaze and did a tremendous job. It was a challenging week physically. Several of the team members suffered from a stomach virus and the weather was cool and rainy every day. Broadway was a strong and determined team however, and not willing to let anything stop them from what God had brought them to do.
We saw God work in a mighty way throughout the week. In addition to prayer walking and Scripture distribution, the team also led a children’s club on Wednesday and Thursday nights. On Friday night, Broadway hosted a family event with games for children, followed by a movie for the adults. It was exciting with over 100 children present. During the week over 2000 gospels were distributed, 14 people prayed to receive Christ, 15+ expressed interest in Bible studies and 1 person opened their home for a study.
We are thankful for this church and the work they have done in Uruguay. They were a tremendous blessing to the Uruguayans as well as to us. Please be in prayer for Juan Lacaze and missionaries Earl and Patti Quick who minister there and will be working with the follow up. On Sunday night (even before they had been able to complete the follow up visits) 7 new people attended their church service. Several others have called expressing interest in attending. This is truly a great answer to much prayer and evidence that God is at work in Uruguay!
This team’s update is short on words but heavy on pictures. Please check out the team pictures below. We truly enjoy our partners from Broadway.
