Jennifer and Ben were able to make a trip north to visit with the two pastors and churches that we have north of Chicago. It is about a four hour drive. Both churches have services at the same time so we could only visit one of the churches, but we had dinner with the other pastor. It was great to get to know them both. We are excited about the opportunities for further ministry and growth in that area.
We had a beautiful time of worship with them
Ben got to preach at the church "El Buen Pastor" pastored by Jose Juan. He and his wife Maribel are very sweet and we were grateful for the sweet time of fellowship with them and their church.
This will be a trip we take every 3-4 months to visit and encourage these churches. Please pray for the work there. It is an area that is about 80% hispanic so there are huge opportunities to plant more churches.
