Aside from arriving back to the sweltering heat of La Plata, I had a smooth transition. I got my last taco in the Airport, spoke English to the sales-lady and headed here to Argentina. January here, as you may know, is the busiest month in ministry. This year we had our staff retreat, summer camp, missions project, and then vacation.
For staff retreat, a couple from Florida came to give all of us staff a seminary course on the history of the church and missions. It was as if we were all back in college again. The mornings were spent in class, learning about our early church fathers and how Christianity started. The afternoons were spent with our class groups working on our presentations. It was a great time to build relationships with the staff as well as to learn in a class-like intensive atmosphere. We all got to spend New Year's Eve toasting to what the Lord was going to do in our lives, ministries and cities over the next year!

Emotions began to heighten as we prepared for camp "Revolucion" 2011. Seven days of heart changing worship, in-depth ministry training for the students, delicious 3-course meal times, deep small group talks, and a lot of new friendships being built.
