What started as a simple English club in Buenos Aires quickly became something more. IMB missionaries Chris and Rhonda Richard, sent from Hebron Baptist Church in Kentucky, taught language and culture—but also shared the gospel using the “Three Circles” evangelism tool.
At first, the club included mostly local believers, some of whom struggled to clearly explain the gospel. Rhonda said, “We taught them how to share the gospel and give a 15-second testimony. They couldn’t believe how easy it was.”
Soon, members began inviting unbelieving friends and family. One man told Chris he’s only interested in Jesus because a stranger opened his home to other strangers. That act of hospitality stirred something in him.
Now, a Bible study has formed out of the English club, with hopes it will become a church plant in their neighborhood.
Through the Cooperative Program, Southern Baptists support missionaries like the Richards as they turn everyday opportunities into gospel ministry.
Pray the Bible study will grow into a vibrant, gospel-centered church in Buenos Aires.
