The Thorntons
Our Past
God called us to the mission field while in Baptist
Bible College in Springfield, Missouri. Upon graduation in
1981 we moved to Ohio to begin a work north of Columbus as our
internship. After several years, the Lord showed us it was time to
to to the field, and we began deputation in August 1987, arriving
in Rosario,
Argentina at the end of 1988.
While on the field, we were able to assist in
an established work in Rosario, as well as help organize and teach
in the Bible Institute that prepares those called to the ministry.
During our second term the Lord moved us across town to begin a
new work in Parque Field. We established the church and built the
building while still teaching in the Institute.
Our Present
We have been pastoring in Ohio for the past
four years, and are now beginning deputation in order to return to
Argentina.
We already speak the language, know the culture
and the people, and have current paperwork to get back into that
country. We are trusting God to help us raise the needed funds
speedily in order to be back at work there by the end of 1999.
Our Goals
It is our desire to return to Rosario soon and
be busy obeying the Great
Commission by winning people, discipling the new believers,
and working in the Bible Institute that trains them for ministry. 
We are looking forward to working with some of
the Institute graduates and beginning new churches in the cities
where God calls them--leading them to win and pastor their own
people.
