Living @ Work

Yesterday we started ANOTHER National Quarantine. Instead of working from home we have been living @ work! I am not even quite sure where to begin, this last year has drug us through such a wild field of emotional highs and lows that it sometimes feels like we no longer know up from down. Living and working in the country that held the longest record for full national quarantine it is hard to truly convey the broad scope of feelings we’ve experienced here. From March-October we were not permitted to leave our home except to buy groceries, medicines, and go to the bank. Thankfully our 3 children had already been accustomed to online schooling; however, it was still hard not to have the option of leaving the house for anything. We were relieved in October when we were allowed to somewhat return to public activity with socially distanced outdoor activities. But even over the last few months the government has decided to put us back on a 6pm-6am curfew with no public gatherings.  Social activities, including church, are again not permitted and even the Bible school campus has been closed to outside teachers coming on campus in an attempt to curb COVID cases. And now they’ve announced a 9-day nation-wide quarantine which we are praying doesn’t get extended. Last year it started with a 10-day quarantine and then was ultimately extended to 8 months. As a media missionary I have been pushing everyone I come in contact with to have an online and digital presence since we began serving with AGWM over 20 years ago on June 1, 2000. We have been able to work with MANY churches and ministries throughout the years, but the recognition of the importance of media ministry was never more appreciated than it has been in this last year. Never before have I felt so much confirmation of our work in media ministry and in training as many media ministers as we can. However, it’s hard to put into words the feelings we’ve felt being so isolated from others and uncertainty that come with border closings etc. Our media ministry school at the River Plate Bible Institute continues to grow as we produce pre-recorded classes as well as live classes; in 2020 we had 167 students and so far this year we already have 77. When the national quarantine was announced in March 2020 the bible school students were given the option of staying on campus 24/7 or returning home and working online. I am overjoyed to report that not 1 single student was lost as some chose to work from home while others worked on campus. For months my department and I were thanked publicly and privately for our years of service and preparation “for such a time as this” as we quite literally overnight went from the full “normal” residential program to a hybrid in-person/online/pre-recorded system with many of the courses already filmed and available online as well as live multi-camera zoom chapels and classes. I can honestly say that I have never felt more appreciated in my media ministry work as I have in this last year. God’s Divine Timing The Lord knew exactly what He was doing in January 2020 when we decided to start a major push and began filming as many of our School of Media Ministry (EMM) courses as possible for our online school. We of course had no way of knowing how soon we would need it, but within the 2.5 months we were filming we were able to record 15 of our 22 courses. This was no small feat as courses have as many as 25 classes while some of the lighter topics have 7. We knew we wanted to capture as many as we could and we would eventually edit them when we had time. Little did we know that soon we would have PLENTY of time to edit. Within a couple weeks of the beginning of quarantine we were able to offer our full course for “Streaming” through EMM. We launched with a live zoom event explaining the basics to where pastors who had no idea how to start were equipped to stream THAT Sunday and then we also made available the 7-class course which covered more in-depth training on advanced techniques for online services; it was well received. Click to discover more about our School of Media Ministry on Facebook New Manuals and a New Leadership School! During this pandemic our work with King’s Castle and Castle Club International was amplified like never before through newly re-written, updated, and completely re-designed Castle Club manuals as well as a new online leadership school called “CDR Institute” for King’s Castle; which presently has 85 students from literally all over the world. A New Gear This past year Michelle had to relearn how to train leaders and do evangelism and discipleship changing almost every way she did ministry in general. Something clicked inside of her as she began understanding what it meant for us to be “media missionaries” as I began to show and help her use media in her ministry. She did trainings for teachers to relearn how to do ministry and saw the Holy Spirit move in every workshop. The Holy Spirit showed her time and time again that there are no limits to His moving. She saw teachers healed, delivered from anxiety and depression, filled with the Holy Spirit and injected with purpose. Teachers were healed from back pain, arches formed in feet, chronic pain was healed, cataracts disappeared, a tumor dissolved… so many things happen in every zoom meeting as they received practical training to work with their kids ministries. Then in November she did an online training for 120 new Castle Club Instructors from all over the world and saw God prepare these revivalists in every meeting, class, and homework assignments. Now she is seeing the fruit of these trainings this year as it is producing ripple effects throughout the nations in which these leaders work. Children are being saved, filled with power, and reaching other children! Click to discover more about Club Castillo Argentina on Facebook The Club CastiShow Every Saturday we have been releasing a new “CastiShow” on youtube and we have heard stories of healings, salvations and so much more. A little 5-year-old girl in Cambodia started watching the show and her mom wrote to tell us that her daughter was watching the show on salvation and began to weep and said “mommy pray for me I want to receive Jesus in my heart.” We probably will never know the full ripple effect of who we have reached in this time of being obedient and producing, producing, producing but we are being obedient and doing what God has been telling us to do. Check out both Spanish and English Club CastiShows The Lord woke Michelle up at the end of last year in the middle of the night and said to start an Online leadership school. She got out of bed and wrote out the entire plan of what the Lord was saying and on March 8th “CDR Institute” was launched. It’s been an amazing adventure to see what God does thru pre-recorded teachings! We have had students delivered from addiction after being confronted in a class on holiness. Students who weren’t baptized in the Holy Spirit, receive the Baptism after watching a class. Students who had lost their focus and drifted into sin, revived and redirected to fulfill God’s call on their lives. Thanks to YOUR support! We are fully convinced that there is NOTHING that the Holy Spirit can’t do through media!   This year we have started several newsletters, but it is hard sometimes to put into words what is going on. It’s like something we have never experienced before; an “Online Revival”. The world has gone crazy and if we don’t stay connected to Jesus, we will too. We are excited to see what God is going to do this year and we wanted to say thank you for sticking with us. Without your prayers and support we would NOT be able to remain on the field!   We appreciate each one of you SO much. We are reaching so many people because of your partnership. We couldn’t do any of this without your faithful support.   Every time we get a financial statement, we pray for each one of you by name. We are looking forward to itineration next year to see you guys face to face and share what God is doing. Prayer Requests We are entering into the 4th year of this term. As we do we continue to pray for quickened obedience. When God asks us to do something, we will have quickened obedience.  *Pray for strength and speed to complete current projects before the term ends.  *Pray for current and future students in BOTH the media ministry school and CDR Institute.        *Pray for our family and sanity during quarantine, restrictions, and pray the airports don’t close again. *Pray for our finances to continue to come in so we have operating funds to go above and beyond. Thank-you for being a part of this missionary journey! Blessings,  Jonathan Wellborn & Family

From Our House to Yours

If you like what you read please help multiply the message and share it with a friend. Share Tweet Forward Pin Watch Our Quarantine Greeting and Ministry Update Here. From Our House to Yours We had so many events, scheduled trips, and trainings scheduled for 2020 but everything has been canceled. This year had so many prophetic words of harvest. The harvest part hasn’t changed. The way it’s done has changed. God doesn’t make mistakes. His ways are perfect. I’ve been sensing that we are walking into revival. A revival that is led solely by the Holy Spirit. A time of mass conversion and an increase in the miraculous. A season of creative miracles and God being God. New YouTube Series “Club CastiShow” This month of April we have been producing a kids’ show in Spanish. We have been saying we were going to do this for 20 years. It’s crazy that we would start now. We don’t have the equipment we need at home; we aren’t allowed to leave our house to get our equipment, and we don’t have the team that we need to at home to do this. Yet, God said “now.” So for the past six weeks we have been producing this show and hearing so many testimonies of the power of God working in peoples homes. Stories of family altars breaking out after the show, children leading family members to Christ, physical healings taking place as they pray believing, stories of families weeping in the presence of God, and so many stories that only God knows what is going on. God’s timing is not our timing. God’s plans are so much better than our plans. Our willingness to say “Yes” takes us to see the breathtaking masterpiece of God’s design. During this time God has been birthing something new in all of us. We have been walking in faith every step of the way. Trusting in His plan of hope and a future. Watch one of our Club CastiShow’s here. A Heavenly Homecoming At the beginning of 2020 the kids and I went to Honduras for the International King’s Castle summit meeting. We saw God do so many miracles, His presence was everywhere we went! Cataracts disappeared, pain left, hope renewed, salvation and so much more. The coolest part about this trip was my Grandma Triplett went with us. Our evangelistic team was my parents, my grandma and my kids. Four generations praying for the sick, leading people to Christ, seeing God move. Experiencing Joel 2:28 every day, where the power of the Spirit was very present and the generations were working together for Jesus. As I was leaving to go back to Argentina, I said my last goodbye to my grandma at the hospital. Two weeks later she went to be with Jesus. We went back to the States to celebrate my Grandmas heavenly departure. At the graveside I felt Jesus so close. I felt Jesus saying “The Legacy Continues with the generations.” What an amazing gift of growing around generations of faith. I have been exposed to the miraculous from the moment I was born. Crazy faith has been a normal way of how we do life. Expecting God to do what he does and always in awe. I don’t want to ever lose my wonder. A week after the funeral we were blessed to be able to attend the AG Kidmin Conference in Dallas where I was invited to give workshops before we rushed back to Argentina and began our quarantine on March 15th. The IBRP Media Ministry School While the kids and I were traveling, Jonathan worked day and night feeling an urgency to record the online classes for the media school at the Bible School. We were gone for almost two months and those months Jon and his team were recording as many classes as they could. Little did he know that soon the world would shut down, but because he was able to record so many classes they can continue now on the production side of all the classes. God’s timing is perfect. Click to discover more about our School of Media Ministry on Facebook We have been incredibly blessed to have our Media Ministry School staff living at the bible school. Even though we have personally been confined to our home we have been able to continue advancing there as well. Having all of our audio and video equipment already in-place there with a team trained to run it has meant that we have been able to meet the need of the bible school to host all of their courses in an online environment; we have helped every student not miss a beat in their studies and remain on-track for graduation. Our department as well has continued to flourish with live Zoom classes plus our online courses we have been producing this year. God is good! Check out our School of Media Ministry on Instagram The Takeaway Do we like quarantine? No. Do we like what is happening in spite of? Yes! There is an awakening around the world to the gospel. Holy Spirit is moving in the homes. Those who seek Him will find Him. Everything around us has changed, but it’s not a bad thing. We can never go back to how it was before. In the last 48 days of quarantine, God has been opening doors that no man can shut. The King’s Castle theme for 2020 is Today or Never. (“Hoy o Nunca”) I believe as we live in “Today or Never” mode, preaching with a boldness like never before, we will experience God like never before. Holy Spirit is leading us to the secret place so He can unlock the mysteries of the Gospel. In that place we can find answers, creativity, a renewal of strength, hope, love and so much more. I’m excited to see what 2020 has in store. It’s a movie that God’s the director of. I don’t know about you, but it’s exciting to be a part of this movie. I’m jumping in to whatever He has planned. I am not going to make any plans, I’m going to walk, trusting Him. Isaiah 96:3 “Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.” Blessings from my house to your house, Michelle Jonathan, Michelle, Lexi, Bella and Joshua Wellborn Missionaries to Argentina Prayer Requests Please continue to pray & believe with us for God to: *Pray that the seeds that we have sown continue to produce fruit. *Pray that our kids can finish their school year quickly. *Pray for new online strategies for discipleship and evangelism. *Pray that we can get the funds that we need to continue to produce the online media school.

Volume 13 Issue 2 – Dreaming with my eyes wide open

If you like what you read please help multiply the message and share it with a friend. Share Tweet Forward Pin Dreaming with my eyes wide open God has confirmed in my heart so many times what He wants me to do. It’s humbling to be able to be a part of what He is doing. We are living in a special hour. Although many fear this present time, this is an exciting time to be alive and to walk in the promise of Joel 2:28. God is pouring out His Spirit and like it was said in Isaiah 43:19, He is doing a new thing. During the last few months, I have seen the Lord time and time again reveal Himself. More than ever I am convinced that signs and wonders do follow those who believe. I believe! I have tasted and I have seen, I believe! Crusade I preached the pure and simple gospel message to a group of around 100 children. Several accepted the Lord. There were two older ladies who came to the front. They were weeping as they gave their lives to Jesus. Then later my friends preached to the adults, and then they called me and my girls up to help pray for the sick. The Lord gave me a word for someone who had leg pain. I asked if there was anyone with leg pain, and one of the ladies who had accepted Jesus earlier came running towards me saying, “I am the one with leg pain.”  As she was running up to the altar, her adult daughter with tears rolling down her cheeks was running alongside her saying, “My mom can speak! She hasn’t been able to speak for years!” God gave this lady the gift of salvation, she was no longer mute and had no pain in her leg. She was filled with JOY! I spoke into her life and challenged her to reach her family. EMM IBRP Online School Launches! In May we launched the new School of Media Ministry Online! The River Plate Bible Institute’s School of Media Ministry, EMM IBRP, will offer 20 Courses with most subjects containing 20 classes. This is a huge undertaking for us as we continue to offer our resident courses as well; nearly all of our classes are at full capacity with approximately 40 students in each class! However, we feel such an urgency to make our materials available online as well. For over a year we have been receiving messages daily from people all over Latin America asking when we will be able to launch the online school. For now we have the first 2 Courses available and are editing the 3rd. Please pray for us as we continue to film and edit all these classes; it’s going to be a lot of work, but we know these will be powerful tools for media ministries worldwide! Click to discover more about our School of Media Ministry on Facebook Castle Club The Lord is waking up His army to reach the generations with the pure and simple redemption message of Jesus. Both woman and men have been ignited with a passion to war against the plans of the enemy to steal, kill and destroy. The Holy Spirit has reminded them of dreams that He placed inside of them long ago. All over Argentina the Lord is using Castle Club to empower teachers who then empower their students to live in their identity of children of the King. So many stories of freedom, empowerment, salvation, redemption and miracles have been told.  Click to discover more about Club Castillo Argentina on Facebook Child Hope (formerly LACC) We went to do a school assembly, and the power of the Holy Spirit fell upon the children. They were weeping, and Jesus loved on them all. The Lord gave a Word of Knowledge to one of my team about pain in a specific area of her back, and one of the teachers came forward. We prayed for her, and her pain was gone. Another boy came up who was deaf in one ear and God opened his ear. Another student came up and said that he had flat feet, and God put the arch in his foot! IBRP (The River Plate Bible Institute) The Lord put on my heart the name “Rocio,” and I asked the class if there was a Rocio there, and they all shook their heads “no.” I thought to myself, “Maybe I heard wrong,” and then a leader said there was a Rocio, but she quit coming because she got discouraged. I smiled, and the leader asked me to record the word so that she could send it to her. Rocio responded in tears asking me how I knew about her, and I said because my Jesus knows you and He sees you and He wants you to know that. Missions Team from South Carolina We went to the North of Argentina with a team from South Carolina. Our plan was to build a girls dormitory for the Master’s Commission ministry there and also do daily medical clinics and outreach. When the team tried to come in with the meds that they had brought to use here in ministry ALL of their medicines were detained at the aduana (customs office). We had to find God’s plan B. The team purchased some meds in country, and we believed Jesus for the miraculous. I challenged the students –who were working in the tent where they prayed for salvations, needs and miracles– to seek Jesus for signs and wonders. I challenged them to see 100 miracles that week, and they were blown away by how God was moving and using them. Each day every student saw miracles and healings! I prayed for a lady who was missing two bones in her back and felt God grow the bones right under my hand. The students reported miracles of God disappearing hernias, growing legs, placing arches in feet, healing back pain and knee pain, and the list goes on. We were all challenged to see God move in a miraculous way. And He did! Castle Club Summit A few years back the Lord put it on my heart to plan a summit for the Castle Club Leaders from South America. I wasn’t expecting that many to respond to the invitation, but I was surprised when 130 leaders representing all of the countries in South America came to have an encounter with Jesus. The theme God had given to me was “Wake up the Wonder.”  God did just that. He woke up the Wonder of Identity, Wonder in the Prophetic, Wonder through Baptisms of the Holy Spirit, Wonder of Signs and the Miraculous, Wonder of Fire, the Wonder of Jesus.  There is so much that Jesus is wanting to do, but we need to believe that Jesus is who He says He is and can do what He says He can do.  We ended the week in an outdoor crusade on the boardwalk. People were walking by the crusade and drawn into the Wonder of Jesus. One guy was passing by, and he was suicidal, God called him out, and he was set free. Two men were walking by and drawn by the presence of Jesus, and my dad prayed for them and their eyes were opened and were filled with the Holy Spirit. People were drawn by the Presence of Jesus. Jesus was presented, and Jesus made Himself known.  We need to make Jesus famous to the next generation. It’s not that hard when we allow Jesus to make Himself known to us. When we sit down at the breakfast table and invite Jesus to sit down and chat with us. When we listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and stop what we are doing to hear His heart. I am excited to walk in the greater things, and I am even more excited about training a generation of young people to do the same thing. Jesus is alive! And I can prove it! Blessings,  The Wellborns Prayer Requests Please continue to pray & believe with us for God to: *Pray for continued growth in Castle Club, Child Hope.  *Pray for the Media Ministry School as we continue growing and creating the On-Line Media School.        *Pray for our finances to continue to come in so we have operating funds.

Volume 13 Issue 1 – Transitions and Miracles

Transitions and Miracles I can’t believe how fast time is flying by. This morning I was reflecting on the verse: Ecclesiastes 5:7 AMP  “For in a multitude of dreams and in a flood of words there is worthlessness. Rather [reverently] fear God [and worship Him with awe-filled respect, knowing who He is].” Last year was a year of so many transitions and miracles as we moved back to Argentina after an amazing itineration season. Frustrations and Glory. Laughter and tears. Pain and joy. Love and hurt. Growth and wait. Struggles and victories. We can dream and make plans and share about so many things. But we completely could never have planned 2018 like it happened. We stand in awe and worship the God we serve in the country of Argentina and wherever He leads us to go.  Ministry in El Salvador We spent two month in El Salvador (November and December), which that will be a newsletter all in itself. We went to train international leaders from all over Latin America in Castle Club (a supernatural discipleship program for kids and teens), but God did so much more. How incredible it was to minister with my family there alongside my grandma (Milly Triplett), my parents, my sister’s family and Jon and our kids. Generations ministering to the generations! I was also asked to be the speaker for El Salvador’s annual Pastor’s Kids camp. The miracles and wonders and spiritual warfare was intense, God’s presence showed up and took over, and there are no words to describe the manifest presence of God. I stand in awe. Then we rang in the New Year sitting by the lake in El Salvador, and my dad (Don Triplett) led the devotional and prayer time as we reflected on the year and heard God’s voice. My dad shared that he heard God say, “Use it or lose it.”  This could mean so many things, but to me it was the resources that God has given to me, the talents He has given to me, the spiritual growth that He has given to me, and so much more. I was reminded of Philippians 4:9 AMP “The things which you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things [in daily life], and the God [who is the source] of peace andwell-being will be with you.” Ministry in Alaska God allowed me to go to Alaska in the middle of January. It was so beautiful, and the people were so warm and loving. It was truly a gift. I went to speak and train at MCA church. God showed up every day, and the people were inspired to step out and practice their faith. So many testimonies of healings and Holy Spirit baptisms and God speaking to so many. One story of so many that stands out to me was the story of Pawpi. The father of the District superintendent came up to me one morning, holding a paper in his hand saying, “How did that girl in Argentina know?” I had asked Brenda a girl that works for me in Argentina to hear God’s voice for each service that I spoke in. (We did this a lot during our itineration.) She gave me several words of knowledge for the service. This particular word said that “someone in the service had treasured a piece of paper that had a promise from God written down on it, and he had forgotten about it, and God said that He never forgot the day that He gave that man that promise. And the written down prophetic word was in his night stand.”   Pawpi wasn’t at that service that night but heard me read the word from Brenda while watching the service online. He came the next day to show me the word and how much it meant to him that God singled him out. God is so good. I stand in awe! You can listen to my Sunday Morning Message on the church’s website here Along this journey, I have learned to enjoy the process. I might not always understand what is going on, but God does. I might not understand what God is setting up and orchestrating, but God does. I might not ever understand the disappointment and pain, but God does. I might not understand when some people get healed and others do not, but God does. God’s timing is perfect, and His plans are perfect. I just have to walk, enjoy, and love this process. We have so many dreams for this year and so many words that we can share about what God is doing in our midst, but right now, we would “rather [reverently] fear God [and worship Him with awe-filled respect, knowing who He is]” and step into what He has for us. Using what He has given to us and putting into practice everything we have learned daily, never losing our wonder in what is happening every day around us. Thank you for standing with the Wellborns in Argentina. Thank you for your support which allows us to do what we do. Thank you for believing in us, even when we don’t believe in us. Thank you for your prayers; we need your prayers. We are making the enemy so mad… which is kind of fun… but we count on your prayers.  We make an amazing team. 2019! Here’s to Us! We love you!

Volume 12 Issue 1 – Doubling and Tripling

Doubling and Tripling

God has led us on this journey; a journey to seek more of Him. He is amazing. His love is never ending, and the miracles that follow cause a joy unspeakable that rise and keep rising. Every day with God is an adventure.

Our itineration season was hard to step away from. As we traveled around the United States, we saw miracle after miracle. We ministered as a family, and we saw Baptisms in the Holy Spirit, healing miracles, miracles of faith, His provision, and surprises every step of the way.

Today, I am sitting here reflecting on this amazing year. We started this itineration at the beginning of 2017, at my grandpa Triplett’s funeral. It was a day I will never forget. At the service, seeing the Fire Bibles in so many languages surrounding his casket, overwhelmed my heart with his love for the nations. He loved Jesus so much. When my grandpa was 4 years old, Jesus appeared to him, and my grandpa was led in the sinner’s prayer by Jesus himself. You could look into my grandpa’s eyes and see Jesus himself.

At his funeral, I felt a physical mantle fall upon my shoulders. I felt a burning to Go. Where was I to go? I wanted to run to the front of the church. I felt the Holy Spirit so strong in the room that I wept so hard. Yes, it was a funeral, but it was so much more.

It was a baton passing ceremony.  It was a legacy branding day.

That day as we buried one of my heroes of the faith, I pledged my life again to the unfinished task. To Go! Until all have heard.

We have seen so many miracles this year where God has healed the broken hearted, has filled people with His presence, baptized them in the Holy Spirit, physically healed the sick and hurting, and He continues to provide.

We have driven over 60,000 miles all across the United States, spreading seeds of revival. That’s three times around the world. It’s been one of the best years of my life. It’s been so exciting to see so many people healed.

One lady asked me to pray for her broken heal after a service in Ohio. I told her that I would pray for her, but not for her foot. As I prayed I felt like she needed to forgive someone. As I said that to her, she said, “I told the judge I would never forgive that man.” I didn’t know what she was talking about.

I said, “God wants to heal your foot, but you have to let Him heal your heart first.” She began to confess that she had been raped and that she couldn’t forgive him. I hugged her, and she melted in my arms. She began to cry like a little girl as she said, “I forgive him, I forgive him.”

Then my daughter Lexi prayed for her foot, and the lady said, “I feel Jesus in my foot. I feel Jesus in my foot.” A few weeks later her pastor told me that she had come up to him and said that she had never been happier. She had been able to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and felt transformed. Praise God!!

I went to El Salvador last week for the King’s Castle annual Guardian of the Vision (kids) camp. I am still receiving testimonies of what God did last week. The presence of the Lord was so thick, I didn’t even want to leave the room. We spent hours in His presence… and the hours felt like minutes. Several kids said that they couldn’t wait until the next service because they could spend more time in the presence of Jesus.

__________________________________________________________

As I was ministering one day, I felt like the Lord had told me that there were people with knee problems and that they were going to be healed. A guy came up to me after the service and told me that he received healing in his knees as soon as I said that.  God is so good.

When the Holy Spirit comes and hovers in the room, anything is possible.  On one of the days, I said, “If you need a physical miracle, ask God to heal you right now.”

One girl came forward, and I sent an Argentine that was with me to pray for her. She had been born with a deformed rib. It was protruding. It looked like it would puncture her skin. It looked painful. Brenda prayed for her, and she rejoiced! She came to testify that she felt the rib move back into place. The pain was gone; her rib cage was normal for the first time. It was so exciting to see Jesus work!

__________________________________________________________

A boy came to the camp with a fractured foot. During one of the services, he cried because it hurt so much. He saw other people praying for people, so he decided to try himself. He layed his hands on his fractured foot and asked God to heal his foot. Later, he testified that his foot had been healed. He said, “I came to camp with a fractured foot, and I am leaving camp with a strong healed foot.” Praise God!

God is doing amazing things all around us. God has been so good; the ministry in Argentina has grown so much in our absence. That tells me that it His ministry and that He is going to continue to open doors that man can not open.

_________________________________________________________

There are 24 more days left in 2017, and we are still needing a financial miracle. We can’t return back to Argentina, the land of our calling, until we have raised all of our money. We need to raise $744 in monthly support.

For the next 10 days (Between today December 7 and 17), we are going to believe that we can raise this amount of monthly support to return to the field as soon as possible.

Volume 11 Issue 5 – “Giving Tuesday 2017”

This has been an incredible itineration year. God has been so good. To venture out this year not basing anywhere and just leaning on Jehovah Jireh, Our Provider, has been so exciting. It’s funny to hear my kids tell other people, “My parents have no idea what they are doing! They say they have a plan, but they don’t.” We have trusted Jesus every time we get in our car to take us to where He wants us to go.

Everywhere we go, we go expecting God to show up. Expecting to see miracles. And we have. We have prayed for the sick as a family and seen people leave healed.

We have seen a total of 589 kids, teenagers, and adults receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues all across the United States. Praise God! So exciting!

We have seen so many miracles. Amongst many healings we have seen a number of knees be healed. Last week, we were at a home group praying for a lady who had a difficult time standing up. She stood up and told us that she had no cartilage in her knees. My daughter, Bella, began to pray for her knees, and she began to shout saying she felt fire in her feet. Then she began to dance as God healed her knees!
The next day we were at another church, and Bella shared this testimony of God healing the lady’s knees. After the service, we had the kids and teenagers pray for those who needed miracles. Several were healed. A lady came up to me and testified that as Bella was sharing the testimony, her knees began to feel fire in them, and she was healed of bone spurs in her knees. No more pain.

__________________________________________________________

The next day we went to minister at Teen Challenge, and Bella shared both of the knee miracle stories, and God healed a man’s knees. He began to do squats on the platform, rejoicing in God’s healing power.

This young man came up to Bella and Jon and asked them to pray for his wrist. He had injured it working out, and it was throbbing with pain. They began to pray for his wrist, and God took the pain away. The young man was an unbeliever in miracles. He said, “Yo! yo, it’s true! It’s true, God healed my wrist.” He felt a burning in his wrist as God was healing it. He was so excited to discover the healing power of Jesus. His buddy had the same pain in his wrist, and as he prayed for his friend’s wrist, Jesus healed his wrist, too! They were so excited to be a part of a miracle.

__________________________________________________________

We have been sowing seeds of revival everywhere we go, and it’s exciting to see the impossible made possible! This itineration has been an amazing adventure. We have seen God surprise us every step of the way, one miracle after another. God is good!

Please CLICK HERE to make a commitment

We have driven nearly 50,000 miles, slept anywhere we could find a bed, essentially lived in our vehicle for months at a time and have been happy to do so. However, our time is nearly up, and we need to get back to Argentina, the Land of our Calling.

This itineration has been like none other, because we have been following the Wind of the Spirit as He led us to spark Pentecostal Experiences everywhere we have traveled. We asked God to open the doors and to lead us where He wanted us to go. This entire year we have been Spirit-led.  We have seen miracles everywhere we go, and there are so many stories to tell. God is moving among the children!

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCES:

This summer we ministered at three kids camps where God showed up powerfully. We saw hundreds of kids Baptized in the Holy Spirit and changed forever! The presence of God was so thick that miracles were happening throughout the campground, as well as in the chapel where the services were being held. The children learned how to hear God’s voice and had deep face-to-face encounters with Him.

Kids Camps Kids are so open to the supernatural. I love working with kids because they receive so quickly!After the kids received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit at the first camp, they said to me the next morning, “Can we just pray! We want to pray the whole time.”At one camp, we prayed for the nations with flashlights and the bold prayers of the kids were with authority. They didn’t want to stop praying. __________________________________________________________

There was a kid at one of the camps who slept through every service and called me crazy most of the time. The last night of camp, he was once again asleep during the service. Suddenly, he woke up and ran to his counselor. He said he had a dream and that he felt like he was melting into the chair.  The enemy was pulling him down, and then he saw Jesus extend His hand. He grabbed hold of Jesus’ hand and woke up. As soon as he ran to his counselor and hugged him, he was Baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.The counselor brought him up and testified saying, “You know that camper that you say will go home receiving nothing? He just received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit! God had a different plan for this young man, and he will never be the same.” __________________________________________________________ Another kid received the baptism and said, “I was so tired, but now I feel like I ate a whole bucket of candy!” One little boy came to the front and was praying. He got up after awhile and went with his friends to the snack shop. He then went to his room, put his PJs on and said to his counselor, “I need to go back to the altar.” I saw him kneeling at the front. It was late. I asked him if he had heard from Jesus. He said, “Yeah, and I saw Him too. I need to forgive my friends.” __________________________________________________________

Ohio Network Conference At Ohio Network Conference I taught the kids to hear God’s voice. One kid said, “I don’t hear anything or see anything.” All of the sudden, he said, “Oh wait, I do see something. I see a cocoon bursting open and a butterfly coming out.” I said, “What do you think that means?” He said, “I think maybe God wants to transform us.”Another kid said, “I see a big gift box with a red bow.” I said what do you think that means. She said, “I think God wants to give us a gift.”Another kid said, “I saw a gray door, and when I opened it, colors came out.” I said, “What does that mean?” He said, “I don’t know, but I want to go through that door.”So I said, “We have 15 minutes before your parents are coming. God is saying He wants to transform us, give us a gift, and take us through a new journey. How many want the Baptism in the Holy Spirit?” They raised their hands and in a couple of minutes received a powerful in-pouring of the Holy Spirit. Kids were crying and receiving the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.One girl left, and the mom said, “What happened?” Her daughter kept crying and taking deep breaths, saying, “Je-sus.” __________________________________________________________ As I minister in the USA, my team is active in Argentina and traveling to surrounding countries.

Chile In Chile, after a Castle Club training, Caro (my associate leading in Argentina right now) ministered at a church and was talking to a group of kids about how to evangelize. She said, “You want to practice? “They left the church and crossed the street and began to receive a powerful Holy Spirit Anointing. They got to the plaza, and were so deep in His presence that they prayed publicly in the plaza, and people were responding to the Anointing so powerfully that no altar call was necessary.

After the service, every one of the young people was still praying so hard that they had to be carried back to the church where the adults were just starting their own altar call. Everyone was filled to overflowing as Revival hit that reserved Chilean Congregation. Another leader shared with me that in their Castle Club meeting, the 6 and 7 year olds were in class, and the presence of the Lord fell so strong that they spontaneously began to be Baptized in the Holy Spirit.

Argentina I just heard a testimony from southern Argentina. A girl went to a Castle Club camp and didn’t receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. After the camp she was crying and one of the leaders asked her what was wrong. She said, “I wanted to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, but I didn’t.” The leader said, “Do you think there is anything blocking you from receiving?” And, she said she was mad at her father and couldn’t forgive him. The leader said that to receive we must forgive. As soon as the girl said she forgave her father, she began to speak in tongues and received the Promise. There is power in forgiveness!  All I can say is “Glory to God for his faithfulness in these Holy Spirit Empowered meetings.” __________________________________________________________

There are so many more stories to tell! God is moving among the children! Today, we are running to the finish line during this time of itineration. We have been faithfully ministering with miracles, signs and wonders to the USA churches, camps, and meetings where God has led us. We have been planting seeds of revival, ministering where God leads, and trusting He will take care of the finances.

We would love to partner with you on behalf of the children of the USA and Argentina. Together, we can make a difference!

We need to get back to Argentina, the land of our calling, but we still need to raise $1,600 in Monthly Pledges. We have lived under-budget for the past two terms in Argentina (9 years), and we do not want to return without sufficient funding.

If 16 churches or individuals would take us on for $100 a month, we would be able to get AGWM to give us Financial Clearance, so we could buy our tickets and return to Argentina.

Would you prayerfully consider a 4-year commitment of $50 or $100 a month? Thank you for your consideration and for letting the Holy Spirit lead as you read this missionary newsletter with an open heart to follow His will.

Volume 11 Issue 1 – “Why Not?”

Why Not?

We have to raise around $2,500 in monthly support to get back to Argentina.

This is a God number that seems impossible to me, but I know that He specializes in the impossible. Our first itineration we raised this amount in one month. I know that God does what He wants, when He wants, how He wants. I know that everything is possible.

My grandparents, Loren & Milly Triplett, raised all their support in one night. They hadn’t even received all the approvals to go to the field yet. And people pinned money to their clothes, put car keys and jewelry in the offering basket, and they received what they needed to leave for Nicaragua back in 1953.   Would you prayerfully consider supporting our family with a monthly offering? Please CLICK HERE to make a commitment __________________________________________________________ The past couple months of itineration have been a tremendous blessing. Where we have been led by the Spirit, He has opened doors and shown up. Signs and wonders have been following us, and we believe that the best is yet to come. The Lord told me before we came back to the States this itineration to trust Him, to do the things that I knew how to do, and that He would take care of the rest. I love Jesus with my whole heart and believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. I love to see people get excited about Jesus.

We have been stepping out in faith, hungry for more of His presence. His love is contagious; the supernatural is exciting; there is so much power in the blood of Jesus; anything is possible! __________________________________________________________ We have been stepping out in faith, hungry for more of His presence. His love is contagious; the supernatural is exciting; there is so much power in the blood of Jesus; anything is possible! An elderly man in one of our services with tears in his eyes said, “I remember when I felt the Holy Spirit move in this way when I was a teenager.” Another elderly lady said, “You mean, God can use me to do the supernatural?” We have seen so many miracles happen. There was a lady that came up to me after a service and asked me to give her a hug. I hugged her, and she shouted, “Whoa, did you feel that?” I said, “No,”  and she asked me to hug her again. I hugged her again, and she shouted the same thing and asked me if I felt anything. I said, “No.” Then she said that 2 years ago she had suffered from a stroke, and her hand had formed into a ball. When I hugged her God opened her hand and she could feel His presence go through her body; the Lord healed her through a hug! __________________________________________________________ My girls, Lexi and Bella, have been praying for people to be healed as well. They have prayed for back pain, stomach pain, hip pain, stiff necks, kidney pain, and have seen the Lord release healing into their bodies.  Lexi & Bella love to let God use them. __________________________________________________________

Volume 10 Issue 4 – “Merry Christmas from El Salvador”

Merry Christmas from El Salvador!

As we make our way back to the USA for our 2017 itineration we are blessed to gather with the entire Don & Terri Triplett family in El Salvador for the first time with all 4 families together for Christmas in 8 years!

Unfortunately, due to Grandpa Loren Triplett’s failing health, we will be cutting our trip here short and returning to the USA on Tuesday. Please pray for our family at the heavy-hearted days ahead. The passing from this life to the next is an appointment we all have, one which we celebrate with him as we carry on the work of our heavenly father here on earth.

Please help us book a service with your congregation in 2017 so we can promptly return to our service in Argentina in January of 2018; we desperately need to fill our calendar so as to share our heart for missions with as many US churches as possible in the 365 days we have before we begin what will be our 18th year of overseas missionary service.

Volume 10 Issue 2 – “All in Just 6 months!”

All in Just 6 months!

“The Lord Will Pour Out His Spirit”
Joel 2:28

The first half of this year has been incredible! The Lord has been providing unique ministry opportunities throughout the year. It’s been exciting to see each opportunity unfold as we continue to walk in faith and seek His will.

Media ministry carries on as we begin a new semester at the River Plate Bible Institute next week. We are working diligienly with our staff as we prepare them for our upcoming furlough-year-absence. We are excited as every week more and more classes are filmed and will soon be added to the growing collection of on-line classes offered by the bible school. We are multiplying the message and ourselves by training new pastors and missionaries from all over Latin America who will be incorporating the power of media into their ministries. Please pray for us as we prepare to leave for furlough in December, also let us know if you would like to have us come minister in your church in 2017.

Michelle has been extremely busy and the Lord has led her all over the place. Below are just some of the highlights from her work as I have continued to work in Buenos Aires while taking care of the kids so that she can train as many leaders as possible.

__________________________________________________________

January – World Summit Meeting
Our entire family was in El Salvador for the World Castle Summit meeting where countries who work with King’s Castle came together to learn, to evangelize, to worship, and to fellowship together. A mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit challenged us to reach the world. Michelle gave several workshops and spoke one of the nights of the conference. The Holy Spirit poured out and flooded the room. Check out this subtitled testimony video: Click to see a video of Healing Testimonies

__________________________________________________________

February
February is summer camp season here in Argentina. Michelle ministered in several camps where the Holy Spirit transformed lives and ministered to the brokenhearted. She trained several more Club Castle teachers to further the work with the children of Argentina. Challenging the churches to raise a Generation of Children of the Spirit. Our intern Mimi Climaco came to learn for three months from the Dominican Republic.

__________________________________________________________

March
In March Michelle traveled to the Dominican Republic to minister in a Castle 3-day fasting retreat. The students were empowered by the Holy Spirit and were challenged to reach their neighborhoods for Christ.

Also, Michelle did a Club Castillo training for Club Castillo Kid’s discipleship program in Buenos Aires; 5 countries from South America were represented in the training. There was a powerful move of the Holy Spirit that released such a freedom in the room. Each nation wept over their flags longing to reach the children of their nation.

__________________________________________________________

April
In April Michelle started teaching her class, Children Theology, at the River Plate Bible School in Buenos Aires.  She challenged her students to reach the children and with the empowering of the Holy Spirit set them on fire. It’s amazing to witness the power of the Holy Spirit in the children.  One of her students who was 65-year-old woman testified that the Holy Spirit changed her life and she had all but forgotten about the power of the Holy Spirit. She said that she felt like she had wasted so many years of her life trying to come up with her own strategies. She said that from now on she wants the Holy Spirit to lead her in knowing how to reach the children. Michelle and Mimi traveled to the north of the country and witnessed some creative miracles. A little boy who had asthma came up with his mom. He had never been able to experience play like the other children. He couldn’t run or exhaust himself because he would end up out of breath on the floor or in the hospital. Mimi prayed for him and he felt a fire in his lungs. She said, “Do you want to see if you can run?” At first the boy hesitated and then said, “yeah I want to run!” So Mimi and the little boy ran around the altar and the boy was amazed. The boy’s mother witnessed the whole thing and was in tears. God is good!

__________________________________________________________

May
In May Michelle traveled to the western city of Mendoza to do a Club Castillo training. Several teachers came desperate to know how to challenge and excite their children. The  fun part about Club Castillo is that it is Matthew 18 come alive; it is the Great commission! Discipleship, Evangelism, Missions and compassion are still relevant and empowering our children to know how to defend their faith gives the child something to look forward to. The children are so hungry for the supernatural, if we don’t point them in the right direction they will look in the wrong places for the supernatural mysteries.

Michelle traveled with Lexi, our oldest daughter, to Ecuador for 10 days. They traveled all over the country preaching, ministering in Children’s crusades, and empowering teachers to become “Teachers of the Spirit”. They also ministered in a 3-day leadership conference challenging the leaders to seek the presence of the Holy Spirit in everything they do.

Michelle’s parents (Don and Terri Triplett) came to visit, but when your in-laws are ministers as well family reunions often turn into ministry opportunities. Michelle organized a LACC teachers retreat to minister to the teachers. Over 200 teachers were present and were filled with the Holy Spirit. Don and Michelle challenged the teachers to give priority to the Holy Spirit in the children.

__________________________________________________________

June
In June Bella graduated from 6th grade!

We traveled as a family to the Southwest of Argentina to the city of Neuquen to train “teachers of the spirit” and minister the Holy Spirit in 3 children’s services. It is awesome to see children be empowered by the Holy Spirit. One kid testified that he had received the best birthday present ever. I asked him when his birthday was and he said, “today”. I said, “Happy Birthday, what was the best gift ever?” To which he replied, “Today, on my birthday, I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.”  God is awesome!

__________________________________________________________

July
In July Lexi (14) and Bella (12) traveled to El Salvador for a month to spend time working with AIM teams in evangelism and to spend some time with grandma and grandpa. It’s an incredible gift from God to have a legacy of God-empowered men and women on both sides of our family; what a heritage that we have to offer to our children.  All month long they ministered on the streets of El Salvador. Bella traveled for 3 days with kids of the spirit her own age. On a Saturday they woke the kids up at 3:30am to intercede on the streets before they began to evangelize on the streets, then the kids preached in a church service, did 3 evangelistic programs on the streets and finished the day ministering in a youth service. When she told me what she had done on Saturday I immediately asked her, “Was it exhausting?” She said, “A little, but it was an awesome day!” I asked, “Was it hard to pray at 3:30 am?” She replied, “Mom, the Holy Spirit gives us the words and strength; No it wasn’t hard.”

__________________________________________________________

August
In August Michelle traveled to the south of Argentina to minister in a children’s leadership Congress in Villa Regina.  The teachers were empowered by the Holy Spirit and encouraged to minister the Holy Spirit to the children.  In one of the services a 3 year-old-child was sitting on his mom’s lap as she was receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He tried to speak to his mom and she couldn’t understand him; He was speaking to her in tongues! God is amazing and Michelle has received so many testimonies from after that trip. God is alive! Amazing!

__________________________________________________________

Back to School
Also in August the kids returned to school, it was a particulary exciting time for Joshua as he began Kindergarten. He is adjusting well to the new schedule and we are proud of all 3 of the kids as they continue their studies and travel for ministry as much as possible.

Volume 10 Issue 1 – “Circus Crusades!”

Circus Crusades!

Pastors, supporters, family, and friends,

I need your help to Raise $65,000 just a soon as possible.

Will you help me with an offering of any amount, so we can get the equipment we need to launch our upcoming Circus Crusades Ministry?

· I need $25,000 Cash to build a moveable platform, sound system, stage lighting, and backdrops.

· I also need to raise $35,000 to buy a truck to be my means of transportation
to get our ministry team to the children.

I have no idea if I can put in words what the Lord is doing with the children in Argentina other than calling it, “The most powerful move of His Spirit I have ever experienced.” I love seeing the children praying for hours under the anointing, as the Holy Spirit prepares them for the “Last Harvest.” These are exciting days of incredible experiences. Although I have seen so many different miracles, signs and wonders, witnessing how the Holy Spirit is baptizing children right out on the streets as we minster is one of the most exciting things I have ever seen.

This generation, which has been called the “No Name” generation, is being renamed “HIS generation.” A prophetic generation, who are daring to believe in Jesus through powerful Supernatural experiences that are Transforming Street children into what we now are calling, “Children of the Spirit.”

I am working in 50 churches, discipling “Teachers of the Spirit” and preparing them to spiritually parent “Children of the Spirit” through our Castle Clubs.

The kids, through the flames in the Kiln of the Holy Spirit, are being transformed and challenged to win the lost. Kids under the anointing have seen tumors fall off, swollen legs go back to normal, teeth filled, wheelchair-bound stand up totally healed, awakening a passion to know the Holy Spirit more. The Holy Spirit is literally so demonstrative with powerful spectacles of power that people of all ages are flocking to get involved.

One Castle Club Team began with all night prayer meetings during their free time, and their leaders tell me that the children are waking up the Church. Revival is eminent, and the children are the ones bringing the blessing to their homes, schools, churches and communities.

God has given me a vision to do circus themed children crusades on the streets in the Communities. Our focus is to start children churches in the areas where no one wants to go into because of the danger of entering into the “villas” (slums). When we shine the Light of the Gospel in the darkest places of our community, the Light of the Gospel is like a blinding spotlight as people are confronted with their sin right where they live.

Having grown up in El Salvador, I am very familiar with working in poverty stricken Barrios, so for me the Argentine Villas make me feel like I am at home. In fact, the first time I went into a Villa I fell in love with the people and began a Castle Club in one of the local churches there. They didn’t have any children in the church, so I asked the pastor for permission to start a program for children in the church. Almost 4 years later that church has a wonderful Castle Club program and is producing Children of the Spirit. The beauty of it all is that out of that church, I have developed a powerful team of young people who have become my Central Team. Our Castle Club Ministry is exploding, and we are traveling internationally to help other countries establish their own Castle Club program. In 2015, we traveled to several countries, teaching children’s workers to better meet the spiritual needs of the children of Uruguay, Ecuador, El Salvador, Israel, Mexico, USA, and of course, Argentina. This is a God thing, and He is taking us out in uncharted waters on behalf of the No Name Generation.

I shared this vision with the team of a well-known Argentine revivalist who wishes to remain anonymous, here in Argentina, and he asked me to meet with him to discuss something important. You can imagine my surprise when he said, “Our Evangelistic organization believes in you, Michelle, and we want to donate a Circus Tent for your Kid’s crusades!” They went on to say that they were concerned about the children of Argentina and felt like God was about to do something powerful and different on behalf of the children through my ministry.

Testimonial: Last year, we held two “Circus Crusades” as an experiment, and through them we started two churches. Our goal is to start 40 churches in the next 3 years, beginning with the children and adolescents.

Will you help me with an offering of any amount, so we can get the equipment we need to launch our upcoming Circus Crusades Ministry?

· I need $25,000 Cash to build a moveable platform, sound system, stage lighting,and backdrops.

· I also need to raise $35,000 to buy a truck to be my means of transportation
to get our ministry team to the children.

The amazing truth is that Every Circus Crusade that we do, you will share in the reward. That’s the exciting part of this partnership!

I believe that our time is short. We are living in the End-Times.

Last week, I was ministering at a Castle Club camp, and every time we prayed, a girl named Maria Jose heard a trumpet sound. She was the only one that heard it. When she heard it, she would scream and cry saying….

“NO, Jesus can’t come back yet! My family doesn’t know Jesus and soooo many more. Please, No don’t blow the trumpet….He has to wait.”

We live each day as if Jesus is coming back tomorrow. We are running with the Holy Spirit’s leading to tell as many people possible the message, Jesus Saves and is coming soon!

Will you help us get the message out while we still have time?

25: LACC, Moreno

One of the many privileges of working with Latin American Child Care is the opportunity we have to do evangelical programs for the students; many of whom do not come from a christian home. Join our family as we spend an afternoon ministering in the LACC school in Moreno.

24: Southeastern University

We were blessed to have a missions team from Southeastern University come down to work with us over the New Year’s vacation break. They did 2 weeks of Vacation Bible School and street evangelism as they worked with the church in Alberti; where Michelle has been helping lead a Club Castillo program for over a year.

Volume 9 Issue 1 – “The Best Birthday Present Ever”

The Best Birthday Present Ever

This weekend I received the best early birthday gift ever. I went to the city of Rosario with my daughters Lexi, Bella, and our El Salvadoran missionary intern Josselyn to preach about the baptism of the Holy Spirit at a Kid’s camp; ages 4-14. Just that age span alone scared me to death, but that is the target window. Kids between the ages of 4 and 14 are so open to God’s word and spirit.

That night I spoke about how God wanted to give them a superpower and give them the promised gift of the baptism. I prepared them, we got into groups divided by age, and then we began to pray.

Lexi and Bella began to pray for girls their age; they both have a strong anointing, they are children of the spirit. Lexi prayed with authority and several were baptized, but I want to tell you about one girl in particular; her name is Judith.

Judith was on the floor in prayer for hours. When she got up she had a very confused look in her eye. When she tried to speak only Italian came out. Every time she spoke to Josselyn, her friends, or anyone else she could only speak in Italian. When she was hungry and asked for her food she could only ask in Italian. Then she came up to me and was so excited and I couldn’t understand her, but the joy on her face was a reflection that only God can give. Italian was the tongue that the Holy Spirit gave her! We understood some of what she was saying because Italian is close to Spanish, but it was still a spectacle that lasted into the wee hours of the morning. A little girl about 6 years old came up to me and asked “Miss, is there a cure for Judith?” another girl came up to me and said, “Miss, Judith is speaking in Italian I thought we were going to be baptized in tongues?”

Bella prayed for a group of 4 girls and persevered for 3 hours until all four were filled. In exhaustion, one of the girls went to sit down. Bella walked over to her and told her, “It’s not time to give up, you’ve got to keep praying.” My spirit was recharged watching child after child be filled. Watching the Lord use Lexi (13) and Bella (10) minister the baptism was a proud moment for this mama!

I also prayed for Mara, a little 5-year-old girl with a contagious smile and joy. Mara put her hand over her heart saying, “Me siento algo muy bonito en mi Corazón”; “I feel something so beautiful in my heart.”

The Bible says, “I will pour out my spirit”.  It doesn’t say I “might” or I “could” no, it says “I will”.

Thanks to God’s plan, along with your prayers and support, I am working in Argentina with my family to raise a generation of children of the spirit who live in a culture of miracles!

Volume 8 Issue 2 – “Our 5th Anniversary”

Our 5th Anniversary

5 Years ago TODAY, May 26th, we arrived in Argentina! Moving our family and ministry to “the bottom of the world,” as Jon likes to call it, was a very tough decision, which we did not take lightly. But after nearly 2 years of prayer and seeking the Lord’s will, we said, “Yes!” to His call. The Lord opened many doors for us in our first term; and today I’d like to share something He’s been doing in this our second; kind of a follow-up to our last newsletter.

In late December of last year, a pastor’s wife named, “Tita,” in Alberti, Argentina, called me and begged me to come to her church to help them start a kids’ program.  This is the church where our special December offerings allowed us to provide them with free Club Castillo manuals.

As I pulled up in front of her church, I felt in my spirit like the Lord said that He was going to do something big here. Her neighborhood reminded me of my home in El Salvador. I went to train her staff with Club Castillo and believed in a God-sized dream — of forming “Children of the Spirit.”

After the training, I said to her that I would like to meet the kids from the church, and she said, “Oh, we don’t have any. “

I thought, “Is this a joke? Why did she beg me to come?”  Then she told me how the Lord had told her “a foreigner would bring a plan that would bring change to her neighborhood.”  So I prayed and asked God for a plan.

A week later, we planned a Children’s Festival on the soccer field near the church for the families in her neighborhood. We set up something like a Carnival, including inflatables, games, candy, clowns, and prizes. We had over 200 people in attendance.

Then we followed up with weekly parties (still meeting on the soccer field), themed with the colors of the evangelistic bracelet: black, red, white, gold and green!

After this, we followed up with a discipleship program.  Most of the children were from dysfunctional families, many with one of their parents in prison, very poor and needy.

But our numbers started dwindling down as we hit rain challenges, school starting, and an angry devil.
When we had to move the meetings to the church, we had about 10 kids who then came faithfully.  “From 0 to 10,” I thought,  “It’s a good start!”  We believed for more!

One day, the Holy Spirit impressed on me to challenge the children’s workers to go into the community, looking for God to speak to them in search of miracles. The next week, the staff was eager to share how God used them to speak into the lives of classmates at school, to a little old lady at a hospital, to the checkout lady at Burger King, and they wanted more!

Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6

The numbers began rising at our weekly Club Castillo meetings, from our faithful 10, began to grow to 70 kids. And the faith of our team began to grow as well. We meet on Saturdays at the church, providing breakfast and Jesus! Now, we have a big problem! We need more space! We have divided the children into classes by age, and we don’t have enough room!  We had to divide the classes up in the church with sheets hanging from the ceiling! We need a building!

We are believing God for a building for the kids to meet in with classrooms. We need a children’s church! We would love to make it a kid friendly environment! We believe that the best is yet to come!

If you would like to help in providing hope to the children of Alberti, we could use your help!

Volume 8 Issue 1 – “The Miracle of Manuals”

The Miracle of Manuals

In late December 2013, Michelle began working with a team from Alberti, Buenos Aires, training them in Club Castillo. The pastor’s wife of the church shared a vision God gave them of a revival movement amongst the children of their community.

To date, there is no organized training for Club Castillo in Castillo del Rey Argentina, and when they heard Michelle was living here and had grown up working in Club Castillo, they begged her to come train their team. Even though we did not have any of the manuals or materials, we began to piece together a training packet and began praying for funds to print the over 24,000 pages of manuals needed to equip the team (20 complete manuals).

View a video report from the Alberti outreach.

Every December, churches and individuals rush to get all their end-of-the-year donations in before the new calendar year. Occasionally, this helps make up for deficits in our budget, and in this case, it was the miracle we were seeking to print the Club Castillo manuals for the team from Alberti. As missionaries, when we are forced to work without work funds, all we have to offer our national teams is hope and prayers, but when we receive a full-budget, we are able to answer some of those prayers immediately.

With your help this past month, we were able to physically put 20 Club Castillo evangelism and discipleship manuals into the hands of the Alberti Castle team who are now using them as their new “handbook” for leading children to Christ and then discipling them. In their first day of street evangelism alone, many children accepted Christ as their Savior. Then they had over 30 kids come to an evening service at the church! A couple weeks later, they put on the carnival seen in the video above.

Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6

Thank you for continuing to stand with us in faith that the Lord or the Harvest will guide and provide for us as we seek to do His will in Argentina!

Volume 7 Issue 6 – “An LACC Christmas”

A Latin America Child Care Christmas

While 2013 comes to an end, Argentine students look forward to Christmas break which begins tomorrow. As Latin America Child Care Country Coordinator, we were rewarded with the joy of bringing Christmas presents to over 800 LACC students in 2 different cities; Rosario and Moreno.

This year we received a special “Christmas offering” to not only purchase presents for the sponsored students in these schools, but also to purchase presents for ALL the students in the schools, AND we even had enough left over to have a special “Christmas Lunch and Program!”

With the zeal of a child who has won a Christmas shopping spree, we took our entire family downtown and invested over 6 hours picking out presents for each grade. In total, we filled just over 12 shopping carts and couldn’t help but laugh as the joy of giving built in our hearts.

We then loaded it all into our Speed the Light truck and filled our living room with toys as the entire family wrapped for 3 days straight! Poor Joshua kept unwrapping presents, thinking they were for him.

With help from a local King’s Castle ministry team, we coordinated a Christmas program with songs and dramas all geared towards Christ¹s birth and “God’s Greatest Gift”, His son, Jesus. We shared the love that God has for each person and even had the opportunity for an altar call to pray with each student. Then it was time to hand out presents! Smiles and “gracias!” were in abundance as each child opened their present and almost immediately, ran to show their gift to friends and teachers.

As missionaries living on the mission field, it’s often difficult to not be “home for the holidays;” but in moments like these, as we reap the rewards of the Kingdom, we are reminded of Luke 18:29-30,

Thank you for the honor of allowing our family to represent your investment in Latin America and Argentina. It is our privilege to show God’s love to so many children and adults as we also bring up our own children in “the way they should go” as they also participate in this ministry.

20: A Latin America Child Care Christmas

This December we were honored with the opportunity to organize Christmas parties for some of the Latin American Child Care schools Michelle coordinates. Over 800 gifts were purchased and wrapped by us and our kids and we partnered with a local King’s Castle team to put on a program and help distribute the gifts.

19: Summer Ministry in El Salvador

Michelle and the kids had the unique opportunity of attending a Latin American Child Care conference in her hometown of San Salvador, El Salvador. They then stayed a couple of extra weeks to visit Grandpa and Grandma Triplett and to work with a couple of King’s Castle AIM teams, including a District Team from Ohio!

18: Summer Ministry at Unsion TV in Cuenca, Ecuador

Last month, I was blessed with the opportunity to join my brother Josh and the Michigan District AIM team to minister with missionary Bill McDonald and the Unsion Television Network in Cuenca, Ecuador. For 10 days, we partnered with Bill’s national staff to minister in street evangelism, a week-long vacation Bible school, and participation in both youth and adult services, and on live-television broadcasting to over 35,000 people!

Unsion is one of the great Latin American Media Ministries and I was so excited to have the opportunity to spend some time in their studios observing and discussing the many ways we can share programming while emulating their format and technique at our local stations in Argentina. Thank you for your support which enables us to continue growing media ministry in Argentina and throughout Latin America.

Our wedding rings are even engraved with “From Cuenca to Eternity”.

When we were missionary associates in El Salvador, transitioning into full-appointment, the Unsion Television Network based in Cuenca, was one of the ministry teams we seriously prayed about
joining. In the end, we strongly felt God wanted us in Buenos Aires, and now, six years later, we can see part of the plan God had for us here in Argentina.

Prayer Requests

– Wisdom and workers with the Media Ministry Training Department at IBRP in Lomas de Zamora

– Continued blessing at Radio Vida and VidaTV in San Isidro

– Wisdom in our work with Latin American Child Care and seeking sponsorship for Argentine kids

– Health and protection over our family

– New supporting churches and individuals to help bridge the gap in our financial support
(we need enough to stay on the field a full 4 year term)

Please help us stay on the field and operate with a full-budget. Click Here to make an on-going monthly commitment (or to increase your current support; existing pledge will be automatically replaced)

Thank you for believing in us (your missionaries) partnering with us financially, standing with us spiritually, and supplying us physically. Your support is what enables us to reach our world!

17: Life Christian Center

Our first Sunday back in Argentina we were so excited to be back just in time for the first Sunday morning service at Centro Cristiano Vida (Life Christian Center); the church where we helped start Radio Vida 107.3FM and Television Vida local channel 69. We rejoiced as nearly 30 people were in attendance and we felt like we had a part in kicking off this new ministry.

Volume 7 Issue 3 – “Flooding at Centro Cristiano Vida”

Flooding at Centro Cristiano Vida

Our first Sunday back in Argentina we were so excited to be back just in time for the first Sunday morning service at Centro Cristiano Vida (Life Christian Center); the church where we helped start Radio Vida 107.3FM and Television Vida local channel 69. We rejoiced as nearly 30 people were in attendance and we felt like we had a part in kicking off this new ministry.

We filmed a podcast episode outside the church.

What we didn’t know as we filmed and began planning “phase 2” was that within a matter of days there would be a flood that would wash through the entire city of Buenos Aires. The radio station and recording studio is located in the basement of the facility and unfortunately took the brunt of the flooding. The entire studio was completely submersed in water and street-level windows gave way to the tremendous water pressure and filled the basement all the way up to the top of the stairs!

Thankfully, we arrived back in-country just in time to set up a temporary transmitting computer, and Radio Vida wasn’t off the air for more than that first day. God knew what He was doing, and we are once again honored to be a part of His plan. We are thankful as well that we did not have all the equipment installed yet, and it appears so far that no permanent damage was done.

Also, as a missionary, I have to say that as the radio station’s computer is being repaired, I am only able to set up a temporary computer because one of our supporters donated their old computer; even though I had forgotten I even had it lying around, it was there right when we needed it!

Thank you for believing in your missionaries, partnering with us financially, standing with us spiritually, and supplying us physically. Your support is what enables us to reach our world!

Your Missionaries with heart-felt gratitude,

16: Our turn to GO!

After a full furlough, numerous services, meetings, and family time we have returned to Argentina for our second term. We are incredibly excited to see all the Lord has in store for us between the River Plate Bible Institute, Latin American Child Care, Radio Vida, VidaTV, and all the other ministry opportunities we have in Argentina.

Volume 7 Issue 2 – “Our Turn to Go!”

Our Turn to Go!

It’s hard to believe that we have already been here in Buenos Aires for over a month. We had hoped to be settled into our own home by now but with the inflation of the Argentine economy and ballooning housing market we spent our first 6 weeks on a crazy Easter egg hunt trying to find an acceptable home in our price range. This past week we were blessed to find a wonderful home that’s within our budget! We were feeling discouraged seeing the limited options in our price range and then out of nowhere God gave us an awesome deal! We are especially excited to move in as we know we will be staying put for the next 4 years. This is our 11th move since we got married in 1999 and will be the first time we will live in a house for 4 years!

The girls are happily adapting to their school with their friends from last term. When they went into their classes they were both greeted by many hugs and kisses from their friends. Joshua wants to go with them to school and I might just send him next year! We have been enjoying some of our favorite foods: French bread, milanesa and empanadas to name a few. The kids are getting back into the swing of speaking Spanish. They are ordering their own food, asking for directions and we are so proud of them; a big part of communicating in another language is trying! It was funny hearing them order ice cream and asking for Chocolate “Sucio” (dirty) instead of “Suizo” (swiss).  When we told them they just laughed and said, “Well, at least we are trying.”

We got here just in time for the first Sunday service at “Centro Cristiano Vida”; the church where Jonathan installed and developed the TV and radio station. He’s been actively planning ways to expand the station and work with other churches to do the same. God has been opening up many doors and we are walking forward.

Thank you for your support in getting us here! We count on your help each month to sustain us here throughout this next term. Please, if you haven’t already filled out a pledge form we need to make your support official. We still need to raise the last 9% of our budget; with the wild economy here we need to know we can count on a full work budget and enough rent money.
