Prayer Letter/Ministry Update

October, 2009

It’s springtime for FAARO!
Actually, it is springtime all over Argentina. The weather is warmer, flowers are in bloom, trees are budding, and people are going out in summer wear.

Springtime…bring it on!

Springtime also brings on a lot for FAARO. FAARO (Alliance Foundation for Help, Resources and Opportunities) works with churches and other groups in Argentina that share God’s love in word and deed among the poor and marginalized. In December we’ll be working with SACDEM, a prison ministry that works with both prisoners and their children (Children up to age four can live with their mothers in Argentine prisons). To show the love of God SACDEM yearly provides sweet bread, sugar and Argentine tea to each prisoner and worker at the Buenos Aires prison; FAARO is committed to helping SACDEM financially. FAARO also continues to support children living in shanty towns through academic scholarships, helps churches provide food for family feeding kitchens, and hopes to restart its yearly Backpack to School Project (here in Argentina the school year begins in March) where children chosen by churches working among the poor receive backpacks with school supplies to help them start the school year well.

Last month I traveled to northern Argentina for the inauguration of a dental clinic begun by My Brother’s House. My Brother’s House is a ministry of a local church that helps hospital patients and their families with food and boarding, outpatient services, an ambulance service and now a dental clinic. Aided by a team of volunteer dentists from the community, patients and families will now hear God’s word and experience His love though free dental work. FAARO helped fund this strategic ministry. I invite you to click below to see the pictures and see the story.

As well, we Butlers are also raising some of our support.

Happy Spring!
