The Lopez Family Newsletter

We are writing you from our new home in Schroon Lake, NY. Recently we have been commissioned
from our home church Jacksonville Chapel and continue preparing to our calling to serve the Lord in Ar-
gentina. The picture above is of the commissioning service. We praise the Lord for all the encouragement
and support from everybody. As we miss seeing many of you as often as we did, we are stronger knowing
that great things are to come. We desire to keep you updated about our lives and ministry right where we
are.
Love In Christ,

New Ways To Stay In The Loop Debora Escobar de Lopez
Ok, so you may be asking “How do I Stay in the
Loop?”. It’s funny because we know missionaries that

years ago wrote hand written letters that would literally
take months to get back to their families or friends. Now
in this day and age it is amazing how much we can stay

 Steve’s Birthday! Missionary Conference
On June 1st I turned 26! Finally
Debby and I are the same age! I
never have a problem with my wife
being a year older than me... as
long as I am taller!
My family got together for a me-
morial day BBQ and they threw a
party for me. It was great to see everybody! It was great celebrating my
birthday with my family. Celebrating my birthday in Argentina has al-
ways been a blessing with all the friends the Lord has given me there.
Many of them have become like family to me. But I praise the Lord spe-
cifically for the opportunity to be with my parents and siblings this year.

Prayer Requests The first week of June we had a mission-

1) Debbys Father Juan– Please
pray for Juan, he has had a recent surgery on
his ankle in December. After the surgery his
pain in his ankle has increased. There is a pos-
sibility he will lose his job if he doesn’t return to
work. Pray for the Lord’s provision and guide in this difficult time.
2) Summer Ministry– This summer we will be serving at
the Word of Life Inn. We will be Discipling various teens and missionar-
ies. Pray for us as we will be meeting with them.
3) Support Level– We very close to finishing raising sup-
port to return to Argentina. We only need 30% of our monthly goal!
Pray for the Lords provision this summer.
A Taste of Argentina
ary training conference here at the Word of Life
Inn. While we were there, we received training that
will greatly help us in ministry.
Also we had the opportunity to have fel-
lowship with other missionaries who are great
friends of ours. In the picture above Debora is with
three other missionaries who are serving with their
husbands in other countries. We had fellowship
with many other missionaries and we all had a lot
of time to talk and drink mate together.
We really thank the Lord for the great peo-
ple He has put in our lives to serve with. We are
also joyful to hear what God is doing all over the
world through the ministry of Word of Life.

Recently we had an activity called “A Taste of Argentina” to share

about our ministry. We provided all types of food and entertainment from
the beautiful country of Argentina. The event was a way to share with
many people about our ministry with Word of Life.
We had 90 people show up and dozens of them helped us cook in
preparation for the event. Debora was cooking for a week straight! I put
more pics on our web page. Also some the videos we showed at the event
you can see on the web also. We praise God for all those who showed
their love and support. We raised an offering that will help towards our ve-
hicle once we return to Argentina. We had a lot of fun and the food was
muy muy rico! If you would like to know what it tastes like, check out our
previous newletter on our web page and get the recipe!

Countdown to Argentina
Continue to pray for us that the Lord will provide for
us to return to Argentina by the end of August. We are excited to
share with you that we are currently at 70% of our monthly support
goals and 35% for our vehicle fund.
We will be sharing about our ministry this summer at the Word of
Life Inn. Also we will be making various trips to NJ throughout the
summer, so we hope to see you soon!
