Visit from Jason and Seth Kenney

We had a wonderful visit a few weeks ago from my friend Jason Kenney and his son Seth. While they were here they were really a blessing; both with a heart to serve. I tried to really use them while they were here so we had a busy few days! We were able to evangelize two communities by leaving a gospel tract on every door in both of them. One is called El Blanco and the other is called Valle Simpson. El Blanco is about halfway between us and Balmaceda while Valle Simpson is about halfway between us and El Blanco. Below is a picture of Luis from our church visting door-to-door in El Blanco. El Blanco probably has about 125 homes while Valle Simpson has about 100; both need a man who loves God and who will live among them shepherding those people. Both places need someone who will spend hours daily visiting them in their homes, evangelizing, teaching them the word of God, conducting weekly services, and ministering to their needs. Does our church need to send someone? Or do we need to win someone who already lives there and train them to be a pastor? We need more laborers.

We took the Kenneys fishing in Lago Pollux, but it wasn't really a successful trip because of rain and a bum motor. I did catch one off the dock though, and they seemed happy enough that someone caught a fish! I filleted it when we got home and cooked it up for the guys with a little butter, pepper, and lawry's (specially imported in our suitcases). Jason is quite the fish fanatic; eating, that is.

The Saturday while the Kenneys were here we held our first men's meeting. There were 3 men from church present, plus me and the Kenneys; we had a wonderful time eating a simple breakfast with coffee, prayer, and a message from the word of God.

On Sunday I had Jason preach for us in the morning and evening, he did a great job. That day was a wonderful day as we had our first baptism! I'll write about that in the next post. I was so glad that the Kenneys came for a visit and they were really a blessing to us.
