Argentina -
Hector Camertoni has ministered several times with us at Church of All Nations. Hector heads an incredible ministry in Argentina (website). He was called to the ministry under Carlos Anacondia's miraculous ministry during a period of revival in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Through Hector our church has helped to provide shoes to impoverished Christians in the Tigre Delta islands in Argentina; to provide a commercial oven to begin a pastry store to help create a sustainable flow of income for other Christians in Argentina; and to provide a Christmas party for a large group of children in Argentina that otherwise would have nothing at all. We know the Lord has not finished His work in our connections with Argentina, and we bless the Lord for the opportunity to reach so many through our connection to Hector and his lovely wife Graciela.
Israel -
The Holy Land has a special place in the hearts of our people. We have travelled in groups to the country on several occasions now. While we love to tour the places where Jesus and other Bible characters lived and ministered, we also want to be a blessing to Israel. For the Lord has declared in Genesis 12:3 "I will bless those who bless [Israel], and whoever curses [Israrel] I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through [Israel]." The first time our group travelled to Jerusalem, the bus erupted into weeping and singing and cheers as we came over the hill and could see the city with our eyes. We will continue to travel a often as the Lord opens the door. When we do, we are especially blessed to spend time with Bill and Connie Wilson, who live and minister part time in Jerusalem.
Perhaps most curious of all is that now we have a building to call home for our church at 136 SW Meade St - which for the last 90 years was the only Orthodox Jewish Synagogue in the state of Oregon. We continue to remain connected to and to bless the people of Israel!
Peru -
Pastor has been traveling to Peru for many years, all beginning with some creation research. Since then he has had the privilege of leading some of his contacts there to the Lord, and our church has sent gifts to the poor and the orphaned in shanty towns near Nazca. We are seeking the Lord's direction in future endeavors to help the children in that area.
