Pastor Fortune's Missionary Trip
For twenty two (22) days in January and February of 2005 , our Pastor, Brother Bill Fortune and his wife Nereida, traveled to Uruguay on a "return" missions trip to Churches and areas that they had served as "Church planting" Missionaries some eighteen years ago..While visiting these Churches, Bro. Bill preached the Word of God to old friends and reestablished relationships with these dear people...He also traveled to Argentina for three days to witness and street preach ... Pastor Bill and Nereida were sorely missed by the Maranatha congregation , but happy for them to be able to relive this part of their missionary life........
To God Be The Glory !
