We have not received official word yet, however news outlets, and other missionaries in Argentina are saying that the borders to the country may open up in November. While this is disheartening in our own understanding, I am encouraged to know that God’s ways and thoughts are perfect. He knows what is best to accomplish His purpose!

I gave a short update last week about a need that arose unexpectedly. We ended up paying $3000 for vehicle repairs between each vehicle. Praise the Lord, a faithful supporting church has already committed to help with this need! Again, our God is always faithful to provide in great ways!

I also mentioned a project I had been working on for several months, a short book entitled “A Biblical View of Social Issues.” I would be glad to mail anyone a copy that might be interested, or you can email me for an ebook version. It is also available on amazon for .99 because that is the charge they set. Simply search Stephen Underwood on amazon.com  for the best results.

Continue to pray with us for the following:
– Please pray with us that we can leave for Argentina as soon as possible.
– Pray that the remainder of our set up funds needs will come in.
– Pray we can replenish the remainder of the $3000 for our car repairs.

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

Well, we are in the dog days of summer! It is hot here in Georgia! It’s days like this that I can’t help but think, “man, we are missing winter in Argentina right now!” In all honesty, I am grateful that during this COVID-19 ordeal, that our family has been able to be in the United States, and not in highly restricted lockdowns like other countries.

I think of my friends, Patrick and Leslie Henry in Argentina right now. For over 100 days now, they have had very little access to anything outside of their home! I think of Miguel and Mariangela Sanabria in Colombia, and how they are continuing to do everything they can over livestream and internet to preach the word and teach their young church! So many others that are in similar situations and they don’t have some of the freedoms and luxuries that we enjoy here in the United States of America. I am grateful for being here during this time!

I’m also grateful that the Lord allowed me another year to serve him. I turned 36 on July 22nd and Ashlee and I enjoyed an evening to ourselves in Chattanooga, TN!

We have also been blessed to be in a few services to update folks on our ministry, plans to get to Argentina, and to preach! As your church continues to open some and hold in person services, I would be honored to come and love on your folks as well! Feel free to contact me if there is an opportunity to do so.

I want to continue to mention the needs we have toward our set up fund. I’m so amazed at how God has continued to provide, and how His people continue to give during times of uncertainty. Will you continue to pray with us about the following?

2 cars with roughly 100,000 km – $12,000 $10,000
beds for the family – $1450
couch and love seat – $900
dining room table – $500
4 months rent for deposit on house – $4,160
Washer and dryer – $1200
American size refrigerator – $1000

We are so thankful for each of our praying, and loving folks around this nation. You truly are a blessing to our family! We can’t begin to express it enough, just the impact you are having on our family and the lives of others around the world!

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