May 2023 Prayer Letter

Dear Faithful Prayer Partners,

I bring some wonderful news of all that God is doing in our ministry and the exciting opportunities we have to share the gospel in Argentina!

As many are aware, we purchased our own property and paid the last of what we owed last month! A total of $72,500! God was faithful to provide all this in a short amount of time and I am beyond amazed at His goodness.

Now, we have already begun construction on the building, cleaning up the property, preparing the future auditorium for us to prayerfully occupy by July! We estimated that the cost to complete construction will be around $60,000, of which, God has already provided $33,000! I am so thankful for our home church that voted to send $25,000 of that to us in order to help with these construction costs!

In my short absence, Missionary Patrick Henry is filling in and working with our young church! I am thankful for his investment in our folks and helping us reach the next phase of ministry. He and his family have always been such a tremendous blessing to us!

June 11th, our church, Iglesia Bautista Esperanza will celebrate our first anniversary! This is super exciting and our folks are already working to make this a special day as a church family!

Please continue praying that the remainder of the construction funds will come in and that we can begin holding services in our new building by our July goal. We know that this is all in God’s timing, but we are eager to put that property to good use for His glory!

Thank you all for your faithful love, prayers and support for our family! Your Missionaries to Argentina,

Stephen, Ashlee, Peyton, Eli, and Neyland

Camp and Building Update

Camp and Building Update PDFDownload

God truly blessed our first family camp this past weekend! We met with members of Iglesia Bautista Fe and Iglesia Bautista La Gracia. It was a wonderful time of preaching, encouragement, and fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ.

We had 16 from our new church attend, including the mother of one of our young men. She, being a devout Catholic her entire life, was able to hear many messages on true salvation by grace through faith, not of works. Isabel, after one of our services, spoke with Sis Vanessa of Iglesia Bautista La Gracia and placed her faith and trust in Christ alone for salvation. Her son, Antony, who had made a profession of faith a couple of months ago, also received full assurance of his salvation! Needless to say that God is doing a great work in the hearts of our people!

Building update: We will be starting clean up on the property, Lord willing this weekend. There is shoulder high grass to be cut, lots of garbage left because it’s been vacant, and several other things we need to do as quickly as possible.

Lord willing, I will also have the original plans for the building this week to use as we begin construction after the final payment in March is made. We are thankful that another $1500 came in toward our building fund last month! We now need $27,000 by March 15th to pay the building off and begin construction. (5 weeks from today)

Please continue praying with us as we trust God to provide this need!

Thank you for all who have given and helped support our ministry! Know that there is fruit being added to your account regularly!

December 2022 Prayer Letter

DEC 2022 Underwood Family Prayer Letter PDFDownload

Faithful prayer partners,

I want to thank you all for your generosity and sacrificial giving toward our property purchase! By the time you receive this letter, we will have made our initial payment on the property of $20,000 and now have 90 days to pay the balance of $46,000!

Several churches and individuals have already given toward this, at times, overwhelming project; but God has been faithful to provide through His people! Please continue praying for the remainder to come in as well as the additional cost required to complete construction. I know that He will continue providing as He always has!

I would like to point out that we have a new support address. Vision Baptist Missions has moved to a new location and the new address is: P.O. Box 647 Dawsonville, GA 30534

I would also like you to pray as we prepare for a baptismal service. We have several young men that have trusted Christ and have been going through discipleship with us over the last several months. They are now ready and eager to take the next step in obedience by following the Lord in believer’s baptism!

This month, I was honored to preach at two missions conferences, Iglesia Bautista Fe in Lanús, and also Iglesia Bautista La Gracia in Quilmes! I pray that folks were helped and challenged to continue taking the gospel to the world!

Thank you all for your continued love, prayers, and support for our family!
