Latest Update

The Saints family continues faithfully serving in Chile while reporting to supporting churches throughout the United States. In recent weeks, they have shared their ministry in Alabama, Indiana, and Ohio, with upcoming meetings in North Carolina and Virginia. The Lord has graciously provided for their needs and encouraged them through loving church families. Despite minor illnesses along the way, the family has remained healthy, and their travel vehicle has operated without problems.

Their children are continuing their schooling while traveling, following the Chilean academic schedule. Balancing travel and homeschooling presents unique challenges, but they are pressing forward faithfully and are grateful for opportunities such as visiting the Creation Museum during their travels.

In Chile, the church in Cañete remains steady, with Celso and Karla actively reaching into the community. The church in San Pedro, under Pastor Juan Carlos, continues to see encouraging attendance, averaging 35–45 on Sundays and 25–35 midweek. New faces are regularly attending, and the building is often nearly full.

A significant matter requiring prayer involves another church in San Pedro started by Alan and Anmari. Alan has informed them he will be leaving Chile in the coming months, and there may not be anyone to continue leading that congregation. This presents both an opportunity for growth and a need for great wisdom, as the church has developed with different customs and expectations. The Saints ask for prayer as Pastor Juan Carlos and the church seek the Lord’s direction.

They hope to conclude their furlough by early November and return to Chile on December 1, 2026.
