Testimonio desde Villa Pehuenia.

crashed truck El día domingo 27 de julio de este año, a las 10:45 horas de la mañana aproximadamente, el pastor Marcos Yñiguez, junto a sus hermanos Daniel y Carlos (estos últimos, integrantes del grupo folclórico cristiano Los gauchos para Cristo) viajaban desde Aluminé, provincia de Neuquén, junto con el conductor del vehículo, Faustino Torres, a una presentación en la reunión dominical de la iglesia del Centro Comunitario Rural Evangélico “Lago Aluminé”, de Villa Pehuenia.
Cuando promediaban el viaje por Ruta 23, la camioneta en la que se trasladaban resbaló debido a la nieve congelada en el pavimento, se desvió hasta cruzar de carril y, dar entre 6 y 7 vueltas , llegando al final del precipicio( a 25 metros , aproximadamente, de la superficie), junto al río Aluminé. A causa de los fuertes golpes y destrozos en la camioneta, nuestros hermanos sufrieron heridas y fracturas. Costó mucho trabajo ayudar a algunos de ellos a salir de entre la chapa y hierros retorcidos, pero Dios en su misericordia no permitió siquiera que quedaran inconscientes, máxime teniendo en cuenta las bajas temperaturas que caracterizan la zona en esta época del año. Esto, y principalmente el que no hayan perecido, fue algo que causó gran impacto en las autoridades policiales, políticas y vecinos, lo cual sirve de gran testimonio, especialmente entre quienes no conocen al Señor, quienes, sorprendidos, afirman “tienen un Dios aparte”. Según el subcomisario de la zona, el 90% de los accidentes ocurridos aquí, y de esas características, resultan en víctimas fatales.

A pesar del dolor físico y el impacto emocional, Los gauchos para Cristo (que no necesitaron internación) estuvieron cantando esa misma noche en la fiesta aniversario del programa radial “Nueva vida”, que se transmite cada domingo al mediodía por la FM Municipal , de Aluminé, y que conduce Marcos, pastor de la Iglesia Cristiana Evangélica de esta localidad.

Con este testimonio deseamos glorificar a Dios por su maravillosa protección demostrada hacia sus hijos, cumpliendo sus promesas expresadas en el Salmo 91, sobre el cual, llamativamente, el querido pastor Marcos predicó el día anterior al accidente.

Testimony of Villa Pehuenia.

On Sunday, July 27 of this year, at about 10:45 in the morning, Pastor Marcos Yñiguez, together with his brothers Daniel and Carlos (members of the Christian folk singing group "Los Gauchos Para Cristo") were traveling from Aluminé, Argentina, from the state of Neuquén, together with the driver of the vehicle, Faustino Torres, to a do a concert for a church service at "Centro Comunitario Rural Evangélico “Lago Aluminé”", in Villa Pehuenia.

As we were making our way along Route 23, the truck, that we were traveling in, began to slide due to the ice on the pavement, then veered off the road, and flipped 6 or 7 times over a cliff (25 feet below). It finally came to rest at the bottom by the River Aluminé. Because of the incredible damage to the truck, our brothers suffered injuries and broken bones. It was a real struggle just helping others to get out of the truck through the mangled metal, but God in His mercy kept everyone conscious especially for the fact that this time of year in this area is characterized by low temperatures. All of this and also the fact that no one perished had a huge impact on the police, the political authorities and neighbors, which has served as a great testimony especially among those who don't know the Lord. They have even affirmed in their surprise, "You have a God like no other." According to the subcommissioner of the area, 90% of all the accidents that happen at that location end up as fatalities.

In spite of the physical and emotional pain, Los Gauchos Para Cristo sang that very same night for the anniversary party of Radio Nueva Vida that Pastor Marcos (Iglesia Cristiana Evangélica) manages every Sunday at noon.

With this testimony we desire to glorify God for His wonderful protection demonstrated through His children, completing His promises like the ones expressed in Psalm 91 of which, interestingly, our beloved Pastor Marcos preached the night before the accident.

Aaron Greenway's "Clamor" in Spanish and “Cry Out” in English Now Available:

After almost six years, it is finally a reality: the dream that Aaron would take his music of God's grace to Latin America in the Spanish language. "Clamor" and the English follow-up “Cry Out”, Aaron's fourth and fifth recordings, are a musical package with the Gospel woven all the way through it, topped off by an invitation to receive Christ as Lord and Savior. If that were not enough, the Gospel is again presented in the tray card of the CD.

CD Cover "We are very excited about this project," says Greenway, "It took us three years to make it in a way that the message would be clear not just in the words and translation, but also in the musical expression."

Dove-Award nominee Dave Cleveland, Michael Mellett, The Nashville String Machine, Don Marsh, Children singers for McMillan Publishers, Grammy Award winning Richard Dodd -- the list goes on of people not just of talent but also of heart. This also includes translators Julian Collazos (producer for Marco Barrientos), Jorge Villon (from the Peruvian mime group Koheleth), and Pablo Morales.

Comments Villon that in addition to Greenway coming to Peru to work with him on the translations, "Aaron and I were on the phone for many hours trying to figure out exactly what it was that Aaron wanted to say through the songs."

group And what of the songs? This music package is designed to present the message of Jesus Christ, but also with a thread of praise and worship. For this reason, the album begins with Haz Tu Voluntad/Let Your Kingdom Come and then works its way into the testimony song La Belleza del Señor/The Beauty. The title cut Clamor/Cry Out shows the heart of God's people when they truly seek to be renewed in Him and for the world to know Him. Sure to be an instant hit is El Poder de la Cruz/The Power of the Cross, a song that has already been an inspiration and blessing to many at Aaron's concerts. The album also includes Cuanto el Señor Me Amó/How He Must Love Me, the song that Aaron wrote for his wife, a song about the selfishness of man and the power to love his wife because of the Holy Spirit within Him. Also as a special treat, Aaron writes his first ever instrumental, Las Manos de Misericordia/Hands of Mercy. The album ends with the song La Ultima Llamada/Altar Call, leading the unsaved in the sinner's prayer. This new effort in Spanish (and English) is a great tool to win lost people in Latin America (and anyone else).

"Clamor" is now available on compact disc. You can order it by contacting Aaron Greenway at www.aarongreenway.com.

Aaron Greenway's New Album "Cry Out" gets 8 out of 10.
Reviewed by John Fisher

Aaron Greenway, a native of Waterloo, Ohio, is definitely a young man with a heart to reach a world looking for answers. This is evident throughout this CD, his fifth, but none more so or as direct as on the lovely song "One Way". The love of God for mankind is touched upon on "The Power Of The Cross" with the stirring string intro and the clever use of an excerpt from the classic old hymn "The Old Rugged Cross". The only weak point would be the instrumental "Hands Of Mercy" which seemed a bit out of place. Aaron states that with "Cry Out" he wanted to ". . .illustrate the message of Christ in a way that people will understand." With this CD three years in the making Aaron has succeeded in fulfilling his desire. There are many musical influences heard and used by Aaron to colour his music, ranging from pop sensibilities of groups such as 4Him and NewSong to the use of classical elements in the mould of the late, great Keith Green. We are also treated to Latin and jazz moments too.

Current Ministry Update:

Dear Friends,

The purpose of this letter is to update you on what is going on in my life. God has been very good to me. The blessings are enormous and many, that I could not even begin to account for all of them. However, let me mention a few.

The first blessing happened on May 28, 2005. I was united with my life partner and best friend, Gleyser Aguirre. We were married at New Life Baptist Church in Garland, Texas. Gleyser came from Cochabamba, Bolivia about ten years ago. It was when she was visiting the church I attend that we were able to meet. After a year of friendship, six months of courtship, and five months of engagement, our union was complete on that very rainy day in May. We concluded that special time with a honeymoon trip to the Caribbean on the Royal Caribbean cruise line. Gleyser’s full testimony will become available soon.

The second blessing has been the direction that the Lord has been taking the both of us in the ministry. We officially joined the praise team at our church. In conjunction, many in the church are joining us in our ministry to be a part of the band, to do signing for the deaf-mute, and to do drama. We feel that our mission is to include our local church in what we are doing. At the same time, we have been convicted to involve ourselves in what they are doing.

Thirdly, our mission to South America is becoming clearer. God has been showing us that we will be involved in a two-fold mission: to evangelize through the arts (music and drama) and to disciple through “on-the-job training.” We already have a team of people in Perú who are directly connected with the Missionary Alliance and Evangelical Free churches, as well as with “Proclaim International”, an organization geared toward the arts. We also feel that our efforts can be reduplicated in other countries by sending “home-grown” and trained missionaries from Perú to evangelize and disciple the same way we will be. We hope to launch this effort shortly after 2010. Would you pray for us?

Finally, to help facilitate our ministry in music and the arts, God has led us to record a new album. We are in the recording process even as we speak. Some of the new songs have been sung at our more recent concerts, and have been a blessing to many. In addition to being recorded in English, every song has been translated into Spanish and tailor-made to communicate the Gospel in order to be used as an evangelical tool to the lost. We do not take any of these things lightly. We sense a tremendous responsibility in the quality that we deliver as well as the message we convey.

We are missionaries and professional musicians waiting for the Lord’s signal to go to the field. From our initial calling, it has taken many years of musical, linguistic, theological, and practical training to get where we are now. We would love to come and share these things with your church, and so we are booking for 2008. We hope to share our story with your congregations through word and song as well as to bless and challenge them in the way of the Great Commission. Would you be open to such a possibility?

For the kingdom,
Aaron and Gleyser Greenway
