Romans 10:9

Romanos 10:9, "Que si confiesas con tu boca que Jesús es el Señor, y crees en tu corazón que Dios lo levantó de entre los muertos, serás salvo."

Romans 10:9, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

Two weeks ago, I and two of my STINT teammates had the incredible privilege of sharing the Gospel with Maria, a student on the Agronomy campus who expressed interest in learning more about having a personal relationship with God. After we shared the Gospel with her, she told us she wanted to think about it and meet us later to discuss it further, so we set up a time to meet this past Thursday on campus. When we met with her Thursday, we reviewed over what we had talked about the previous week and she told us that Christ was not on the throne of her heart, but that she wanted to give him complete and total control of her life. With my two teammates and I gathered around her, she prayed aloud her own unique prayer of confession, repentance, and faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. As I listened to her honest and humble words, I couldn't help but cry tears of joy over the incredible privilege I've been given this year to share the life-changing message of the Gospel with the future leaders of Argentina. :)

"In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." Luke 15:10

Exciting news alert! One guy AND one girl accepted Christ on the Law campus today! Pray that they will desire to be discipled by one of us in Vida Estudiantil and develop a heart for the lost students on their campus!

Thanks for the prayers! God is working!

Home, sweet home...

What an incredible weekend I just had! An hour ago, at about 6:30AM, a bus full of student leaders, staff, and STINT from the Buenos Aires Campus Crusade movement pulled into the city's bus station after an 11-hour overnight trip returning from a 4-day leadership training conference in the province of Cordoba. The conference took place in a small town about 1 1/2 hours away from the capital of Cordoba, which is where I studied abroad for 5 months in 2009. On our way there, we passed right through the downtown of Cordoba's capital early in the morning. What an fun and nostalgic experience it was to wake up to familiar surroundings as we passed through one of the cities in the world that I call "home." :)

The leadership training conference was so fun and encouraging, as I met staff and student leaders from the Vida Estudiantil movements in the Argentine provinces of Mendoza, Chaco, Cordoba, Santa Fe, Misiones, and Tucuman. What a blessing it was to see that God is moving on college campuses all around Argentina! There were about 130 people there this weekend, but in January, we'll all see each other again at Vida Estudiantil's summer camp and there will be twice as many people there then! :)

Below are some pictures from the weekend! Enjoy!

Two friends from my church in Cordoba that I met while studying abroad there! I was so excited to see them at the conference--what a small world!
