And we serve as Assistant Area Directors of the Southern Cone under missionary's Don and Melba Exley.

A testimony from a student
A student leader in Buenos Aires wrote, "Last night was tremendous! There were 1000 students gathered in the Plaza in front of the Business School. Many others were listening from from their apartment balconies. There were 100 university students that responded, accepting Jesus and leaving us their personal information for us to do follow up. It was incredible to see how the heavens opened above the Plaza. The video that Diego made had everyone watching. The student leadership at the university were amazed to the extent that they asked if we could come back next year! Some guys began to yell that the Plaza belonged to the devil but later they asked to be forgiven and recognized the power of Jesus. One of our students, that is a part of my cell group, witnessed to two homosexual prostitutes. They were in church on Sunday and attended our church's Encounter Weekend! At the end, Mariana made one last call to accept Jesus and 4 more guys gave their lives to Jesus."
