SOUTH AMERICA MISSION REPORT DECEMBER 2010
CHILE
We are so appreciative for the Lord’s protection and provision as our Chilean church groups experienced a devastating 8.5 earthquake in February 2010. A couple of pastors
that had lost their houses and church have now been able to rebuild thanks to the provision we have received. The truth is that complete recovery would take years nevertheless we are grateful for the blessings that came out of this remarkable experience.
Our Ps from Angol, who have given aid to the community in a way beyond what they could afford after loosing their own house; has expressed how they are overwhelmed with the breakthrough and blessings they are experiencing. These pastors will be hosting the Chilean Conference in 2011.
Ps Maria Teresa has been visiting and encouraging our COC churches throughout Chile. Her church in Con Con is growing and the Word of Life Bible Institute she is doing with her group has effectively stirred up people in her church to respond and help her in the ministry.
Ps Maickel Caroca has returned to Chile with a strengthened vision after attending the Pursuit
Conference where he was ordained as senior pastor of COC. He has raised up leaders and has sent them out to plant new churches. Recently he had the inauguration of the building of one of these Churches in Ligua where he baptised twelve new believers. Ps Maickel’s main church in Valparaiso is growing in numbers. He is going to add another storey; to his already two storey building to be able to cater for the training program in that church. He’s training young children, in the vision to work in the five fold ministry since an early age. He has a
Christian School; which now have 315 students and have acquired a block of land with some houses on it from the government where they have church camps.
The churches in Chile are really looking forward to the visit if Ps Fred, Mary and Ps Ashley in March 2011.
