February report from Pedro Sanchez

Hello beloved friends,

We had an unforgettable experience in the city of La Serena. My children Marcelo and Matraca invited us to their house in the fourth region of Chile, the city of La Serena to enjoy a week’s vacation with my wife Lorena and my daughter Aylin.

When we arrived at Marcelo’s house on Monday, there was a meeting of “evangelical” pastors to share a Biblical devotional and pray. The pastors gave me the opportunity to share “my testimony” of how God called me with His grace.

When I finished sharing my testimony and the transformation of Jesus in my life, one of the pastors got up from the table, walked toward me, gave me a hug, and crying told me: “Peyuco (nickname for Pedro), the bandit from Los Nogales (where I am from), I knew you and I witnessed what your old life was like and how now God has changed you to be his instrument.” There was a moment of great excitement and rejoicing with everyone present. We got up to glorify God for his great love and mercy.

Pablo & Laura Sanchez Report for Dec, Jan, Feb 2024

Hola in Christ!

We are alive and kicking here in early 2024 even though it saw a lot of good and a lot of stretch in our physical and spiritual lives! Normally we send out the Christmas cards, the end of year emails, post on the gram and the socials but this year literally was a blur.

Over these last three months glory to God we have had 8 more baptisms. , I thank God because without the help of the church we would not be able to do a good job of evangelism, since they are the same brothers who make the contacts so that we can come to their house and talk to them about the gospel, it’s all a team effort.

But one of the best blessings was that Julio Cedeño, one of the Elders from the Northwest Church of Christ, our overseeing congregation of our mission work here, and his son also named Julio Cedeño (different middle name) an amazing man of God and fantastic brother in arms of ours from the Hollywood Church of Christ came and visited us in December and encouraged us, poured into our congregation here in Nogales and in the Church plant we serve in in the city in Antofogasta in the north of Chile. It is beyond what words can write to tell you the encouragement it is to us to have you all come and meet the people we serve and just encourage us and see the work up close. We loved getting to be blessed by their visit, their wisdom, their teaching and their love.
