Hello friends!

Sonia and I have been back in Argentina now for about a month and a half now and, wow, it's been non-stop! We'd like to give you some highlights of our recent return and some of the things God has been doing here in Argentina.

Getting Settled
Probably the most time consuming has been getting settled into our home again in Argentina. If you have ever moved from one place to another, you know how long it can take. Thankfully after our container arrived here in Cordoba, we were able to unload it quickly and begin moving into our home. Though we still have some boxes to unload (doesn't everybody?), the majority of the "move" is done and we are enjoying having a place to call "home".

Bible School Activities
Two weeks after our arrival, our second semester began at the school. We have enjoyed getting to know the 1st year students during this time and working closely with our staff as we moved into the new leadership role here at the Bible college. Both Sonia and I are teaching classes on campus and Stephen is speaking on a weekly basis at the school's main service. We are asking God to continue to guide us, giving direction and wisdom with each step and decision we make at the school. It's a very busy time for us but an exciting one! We believe God is up to something good.

Prayer Requests
Please pray for us that these next 2 months go well here at the school. We have a number of speaking engagements, a busy teaching schedule and other pressing commitments in the days ahead. The school is needing much repair and maintenance, so please pray that we would have the resources to help meet these needs. For example, our roof is currently leaking, we have some electrical issues causing the power to go out and our project for the security wall will, Lord willing, be getting underway very soon. We trust in a God that can meet these and many other needs!

Staying Connected
We would love to hear from our friends and supporters back home. So don't forget to drop us a line or connect us via FaceBook or Skype. You can visit our Contact page for all the details.

Thanks again for standing with us and helping us serve in this part of the world for the cause of Christ! Together we are "shaping leaders, and changing lives".

Your missionaries,

Stephen & Sonia Wallace

Good morning Friends,

Greetings once again from the beautiful land of Argentina!

We have now been back on the mission field for a little more than a week. We’ve had a wonderful time of seeing friends and colleagues once again as we get further settled into our home here in the city of Cordoba.

Thank you for praying for our safe return and for our luggage! Everything made it just fine. For the last week, our goal has been to get our home in order and to make arrangements to receive our container which arrives in Buenos Aires on Wednesday, August 26th!

Would you please join us in praying that all goes well with the papers and customs process over the next few days! We’ll let you know how it turns out.

Also, please pray for us over the next couple weeks as we begin to take on our daily responsibilities as directors of the Bible school here. We are convinced that God is up to something good at the school and what a privilege it is to serve together for the sake of His Kingdom!

As always, thank you for standing with us through your prayers and support! We are so blessed to have such a wonderful team of supporters and friends like you!

Your missionaries,

Stephen & Sonia Wallace

PS - The photo you see is a get together we had here in Argentina a few days ago with our Regional Directors, Dick and Cynthia Nicholson. We also enjoyed our time with Pastors Andrés and Vanina Gerhardt, good friends of ours and church planters here in Argentina.

Hello once again!

If you’ve been following our posts and newsletters, then you’re aware that we’ll soon be back in Argentina, serving at the Bible school in the city of Córdoba. As we prepare for our return, our plans include shipping a 20’ container by ocean to Argentina. This larger capacity will make it possible for us to bring into the country items impossible to carry with us on the plane.

Because of this opportunity, we’d like share some of our pressing needs at the Bible school. Perhaps, you or your church might be able to donate items. Since we only have a couple weeks to make this happen, please get in touch with us ASAP by phone or email. The deadline for items will be Monday, July 20th.

Urgent Items Needed:

• Computers for the school library (Win/Mac, 1GHz or better)
• Used computer monitors in working condition (17” preferred)
• Any hand tools, lawn mowers or garden equipment would be extremely helpful as we have 9+ acres of land to maintain on campus.
• Digital camera for taking photographs on campus and for publications
• Bed sheets/blankets in good condition (Single, Twin or Queen)
• Personal toiletry items for our students (soap, shampoo, personal hygiene products, etc.)
• School supplies (pens, pencils, etc.)

Thank you so much!

Stephen

Hello friends!

Well, today in the US was the first day of Spring. I don’t know how the weather was in your neck of the woods, but this morning we had a dusting of snow here in New Jersey! What a crazy way to welcome in the change of seasons!

Regardless of the weather, we would like to welcome this Spring day by letting you know that we have updated our current newsletter. It is now available for download in our “Newsletters” section of the website. Each quarter we release updates and ministry activities concerning our missions work in the nation of Argentina. We hope you enjoy reading the Spring quarter edition.

We have a lot happening and we’ll soon post some important information here on our website about the “Nehemiah Challenge”. You’ll hear more about that next week.

So in the meantime, have a great start to Spring and enjoy the newsletter!

Blessings,

Stephen & Sonia

Dear Friends and Partners,

Today we wanted to give you a brief update on our progress here in the United States. Many have asked us, “So, when do you head back to Argentina?” Or the occasional, “Hey, we thought you left already!”. So here’s the most current information on our progress.

As of today, we still need around $1700 in monthly commitments before we are able to continue the work in Argentina. Though this sounds like a HUGE amount, in reality, if many churches and individuals were able to help out with any amount, we could see this need diminish very quickly. For example, if 34 churches were to commit $50 a month, we would have our monthly budget met today. Thats 10 families in the church that would commit to $5 a month. So for about the price of a fancy latte, we can make an eternal difference in Argentina. Who said that we can’t support missions because of economic crisis? We just need to be creative.

So if individuals or families would like to join us to reach out to Argentina, they can do so with as little as $5 per month. Perhaps, many could do more, but most of us would have a hard time persuading ourselves to do less.

Let me challenge each of us, self included, to go above the levels of fear that surround us and find ways to respond to God’s call to go to the nations. Will you help us?

We love you and appreciate you so much!

Stephen & Sonia
