where we have continued to see the blessing of God. Last Sunday we had 42 attendees, with 3 new visitors. A couple has started coming every Sunday evening to hear the Gospel, having fi rst come to our ‘School of Theology’ in early November. Such gatherings have revealed a thirst to learn more about biblical worship, church history, and Gospel preach- ing. God willing, in 2019, we will start monthly meetings teaching these sub- jects in a pastoral way. We hope also to begin student outreach in uni- versities and colleges attended by our young people when the new academic year begins in the spring. Please pray for these ventures. Pastor Pablo works as an IT engineer. He was an assistant pastor in a Chilean Pentecostal church when several years ago he came across the doctrines of grace, and his entire outlook was changed.
OVERSEAS MINISTRY FUND
Many of our readers have helped us support 20 overseas pastors, most of whom are the only teachers of the doctrines of grace in their region, and all of whom are fervent evangelists. Many also dispense compassionate aid such as the feeding of hungry children. The need for basic buildings and other help grows. Readers moved to help may send gifts to: The Treasurer, Metropolitan Tabernacle, Elephant & Castle, London SE1 6SD. Please make cheques payable to ‘Metropolitan Tabernacle’, marked ‘Overseas Ministry Fund’ on the reverse.
Gift Aid forms will be sent on request. No deductions are made for administration or ‘home expenses’, the fund being entirely deployed overseas. Church Planting in Chile page 35
