March 2023 Prayer Letter

March 2023 Prayer Letter PDFDownload

February was an exciting month of several new visitors and some of our young men traveling back from summer vacation! I’m thankful to have folks that are returning for the third and fourth services, and hearing the good reports from them concerning our church!

We had a small back to school party at the house with our youth, and several of Peyton’s soccer friends also attended. I was able to take a few minutes and present the gospel to them, and am praying that God will work in their hearts!

Our church is beginning to see some growth not only numerically, but spiritually as well. A few of our young men are now participating in the offerings, leading in prayer, and helping pass out tracts on their own time! Several of our recent first time visitors came as a result of a personal invitation from our young folks! That excites me tremendously!

Concerning the building project; we are just a week out from our March 15th date to make the last payment. The final payment is $25,000 of which we have $2,000 committed. This means that we still need $23,000 to pay of our building by the 15th!

1) Will you commit to pray that God will provide our financial needs for this property? 2) Will you pray that God will use this property to see an Army of believers raised up to reach Argentina with the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
3) And will you ask God if He would have you personally be a part of making this vision become a reality?

If you would like to give toward our property fund, please do so by sending a check to:

February 2023 Prayer Letter

Feb 2023 Underwood Family Prayer Letter PDFDownload

God continues to bless our little church, Iglesia Bautista Esperanza! It is the dead of summer, hot, and people are traveling to visit family all over. However, God has brought visitors, and new families into our church during this time and we are rejoicing!

This past week, we have had at least one visitor per service, and several return for another service! Sunday evening, we had 18 in attendance with one new first time visitor! Please continue praying as we grow numerically, but mature spiritually in the Lord in the process!

We want to give praise to God for the funds that have been given toward our church property! Of the $72,500 needed to purchase the property, $44,000 has come in and been paid! That includes $5,000 in real estate/attorney fees! We lack $28,500 to pay off the building by March 15th! The other $60,000 we are trying to raise after paying for the building will complete construction and purchase a ministry van to run a bus route! It still seems so large a task for me, but the Lord is showing Himself through this endeavor regardless of how small my faith has been!

January 2023 Prayer Letter

Underwood Family January 2023 Prayer Letter PDFDownload

Happy New Year!

The older I get, the more rapidly the year goes by. It literally seems like yesterday that we were “searching” for a place to rent for our church plant, and now we have a church that is 7 months old!

God has done some amazing things throughout the last year. Folks have been saved, several have been baptized, families are joining and attending our services faithfully, and young folks are being discipled each week! I am thrilled to see the spiritual growth in our people in such a short amount of time!

As we look to the new year, God’s plan is certainly bigger than I could have imagined for myself. Its comforting to know that He is in complete control! We have a little over half of the funds needed to purchase our building! This means that by March 20, 2023 we are trusting God to provide another $30,000 to pay off our building before we can begin construction. Construction costs are another $30,000 and we are praying for an additional $20,000 to purchase a ministry van to transport our folks and start a bus route.

Please pray as we seek to accomplish something much larger than any of us, and though my faith may be small, His desire to see people saved will see this through!

If you would like to be a part of this ministry opportunity, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions! You may give online through https://visionmissions.org/give/ or send an offering through our support address!
