My Adventure in Valles Calchaquies!



For the month of July we went to the Northwestern part of Argentina to the Calchaquies valley. This is a very remote and impoverished part of Argentina. These people have been left behind and Cru here has decided to reach out to these people and bring donations, but more importantly to share the good news of Jesus Christ with them. This area it is not surprising to hear stories that make you shudder or just want to cry. I went for my first week to a small village called Colalao del Valles. We reached out to the community in many different ways over the week. We played with the children of the village and shared the gospel. It was awesome to see the children so excited when we came and for us to spend time with them. We also showed the Jesus film, which was awesome to be a part of.

In the second and third week I was in the town of Santa Maria. Over the 2 weeks we spent there we spent time playing with the children and giving them clothing they needed very much. It was awesome to see how Christ was working in our time there. We also brought in some people to give talks to the people. The community really gathered around us in this time and many people came to Christ. Over the period of three weeks Vida Estudiantil here in Argentina shared the gospel over 6,000 and over 1,600 people receive Christ as their personal savior.

Now with September right around the corner we will be starting a new semester with the students please keep us in your prayers and that we would continue to see students come to know Jesus Christ as their personal savior.
