Pastor Elias Huenulaf

Last night we visited a great church in Lo Espejo, a commune next door to the one we're staying in. The church is called Bible Baptist Church and the Pastor is Elias Huenulaf. He had us sing and he also asked me to address the congregation. I shared our burden for Patagonia. His two sons are fluent in English and we enjoyed conversing in English. He has a son who is very talented on the piano, he played a couple of pieces for us including Chopin's Nocturne (I especially enjoyed that). His other son is named Andres. Andres actually went to an independent Baptist Bible college in Florida. He is very interested in going to the 11th region of Chile to start a church. I couldn't be more excited because the church that we are starting will be the only independent Baptist church in that entire state. The state below it doesn't have one either. Andres is planning a survey trip to come check out the state. We've offered our home to him and told him that in any way we can be a help, "cuenta con nosotros", or, you can count on us.
