Uruguay OCC Update - Final Note

You'll see some of the many churches (seven?) we visited and many more children and their parents (more than 100) we witnessed giving their lives to Christ and continuing their journey to Him.

It's May now, Christmas is a long way off. Try to remember the faces of these South American pastors, the children they love so much and the value of taking the time this Christmas to give an enduring Christmas present that truly keeps Christ in Christmas.

A special thanks to Ian Stokes from Samaritan's Purse for organizing things so well and to all the pastors and their wives we travelled with. Love you guys!
