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!

October 2022 Prayer Letter

October Prayer Letter PDFDownload

Greetings to our faithful prayer partners!

We have had a tremendous month of September and God continues to bless our small church plant in Ezeiza, Buenos Aires, Argentina! I am thankful for the Lord’s hand of protection and blessing on us as we strive to serve Him!

My family enjoyed a couple of weeks with my mom and I believe she enjoyed the grandkids at least. The day we dropped mom off at the airport, our friend, Justin, from Arequipa, Peru arrived to help us out for the month! He is already a great blessing and helping me organize our outreach and music program.

Please pray as he has also started teaching free guitar lessons as a method of reaching younger people. We know God is going to bless and trust that many will be able to hear the gospel through these classes.

We also have a special month planned for October. Each Sunday in October will have a special emphasis and we hope to see several visitors each week. Sunday, October 16, is Mother’s Day here and we will be hosting a guest Pastor from the United States and one of his men, my friend Jeff Furlong. Pastor Lee will be preaching and I will attempt to translate for the first time! I certainly covet your prayers during this time.

Jeff and Pastor Lee will be here for a short trip to see the work, the field, but mainly to look over a potential piece of property for our church! It is an exciting time, but also uncharted waters for me. I am grateful for Jeff’s expertise in this matter as he is a professional contractor.

Please continue praying as we work to raise the funds to purchase the property God has for us, and to begin building as soon as possible! I will give an update when more details and information about this possibility is available!

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