We have opened another Bible study in the home of Carlos Nash. He is the half brother to Pablo Perez. Pablo and Elena Perez have moved to an apartment close to Carlos Nash. They were the couple who accepted the Lord during the first few months that we came to Chile. They have been talking to the Nash family for some time without our knowing about it. Carlos Nash had seen a change in his half brother’s life, and he wanted that change to happen to him. That is his testimony. What a joy when our people begin to talk to their family members about their relationship with Christ. Pablo and Elena have been the most faithful couple in our Bible study programs, and they have matured well. Carlos Nash’s wife accepted Christ in a Baptist church, and two of their children were saved with Pablo Munoz, the pastor, and me. Please pray for the three other teenage children who need to be saved. Pablo Munoz, our pastor, invited me to preach, and one teenage girl was saved. She is a daughter of a church member, but had never made a profession of faith. Thanks be to the Lord for His grace.


– Bill Gibson Argentina Greetings from Fountain, Colorado. We have enjoyed our time in


Argentina, and have especially enjoyed working alongside Alberto Lopez, pastor of the church in Humahuaca. The folks here have received us as family. It has been easy to feel at home. We have worked one-on-one with the leadership


We have been enjoying the cooler weather and will have had our annual Christmas Eve service by the time you read this article. We had an awesome outreach event on Halloween night to help establish our presence in our new facility and had about 150-200 in attendance at the event. We’ve also seen an increase in our average attendance since getting into our new space. With all that being said, our biggest prayer is that God will provide the money needed to purchase the facility in which we’ve been meeting. We are asking God for big things and praying that He will provide generously through His people both here in our church and throughout the BMAA to provide the money to buy this


while here, and I have been given several opportunities to preach and teach in regular church services. Everyone has been receptive to the advice and counsel I’ve provided, and of course, I have learned from them also. Our prayer is that God will increase the harvest among His works in Argentina. We also have been able to minister


during short trips to Peru and Uruguay. They are good folks. We should be back in the States just about as you read these lines. After the first of the year, we will be heading to the Dominican Republic for a three-month stay. So, as the saying goes, there is no grass growing under our feet. – David Dickson

facility without burdening our young church with debt. Our heart is to plant other churches, give generously to missions, and reach people in our community. We want to avoid going into debt so we can better focus on these things. Thank you for the prayers and support you have been faithful to provide over the last four years. – Jacob Norman

WOW … three years already! It is hard


to believe it. Three years ago this month, we hosted the public launch of Jacob’s Well. Since then we have experienced a journey beyond our wildest dreams. We have not just quoted Ephesians 3:20, we have had the sheer joy of living it. As we approach the beginning of our fourth year we face massive challenges while we undertake the seemingly insurmountable goals of not only going self-supported, but beginning the initial phases of our first “daughter” church plant by year’s end. If the first three years of our journey are any indication, however, God’s grace will continue to flow through hearts like yours as He spreads His fame deeper and wider here among the nearly 10,000,000 souls of Chicagoland. Please pray and partner with us to that end!
