The Lord allowed us to travel south to the most strategic gate for the incoming Aliyah from Argentina, city port of Encarnaci贸n in the region of Itapua.

In our Lord's Grace and strength He provided locally all expenses and with Joy they are now beginning to print their own material with their funds. Our Faithful Father continues to open the highways in difficult spiritual opposition as we proceed in obedience even with the native Americans of 3 different tribes (Enzetl,Chlupi and Tobah)that our dear brothers from the Mennonite region continue to visit with teaching.
The Grace of our Lord continues to prosper the return of His people to their promised land of Israel. Thank you for your worldwide prayers and support to this holy work in Latin America.
