A Welcome

"One of the great privileges of being in the ministry is the exceptional people God brings into your life. For me, two of these are Steve and Pam Thornton. Bro. Steve has been faithfully planting churches and training national pastors for more than twenty years. Pam was raised on the field as a missionary kid and is an exceptional missionary wife. I have known Bro. Steve for nearly twenty years. I have been to Rosario and have seen the church, the camp, the seminary and most importantly the people he has led to the Lord and the men he has trained. I am thankful he is my friend and co-laborer. I whole heartedly recommend him to you."
Jim Alter, Sending Pastor Grace Baptist Church, Sidney, OH |

Camp Ministry
We have a 10 acre camp that is 20 miles outside of Rosario. We use our camp year round for the benefit of local churches and the ministry in Argentina. We have picnics, Vacation Bible Schools, Youth Camps, Men´s and Women´s Retreats, Pastor´s Camps and Church Planting Conferences at our Camp. All of these activities tie into our vision of Church Planting throughout Argentina. |

Church Planting Fellowship
We started RIBBA in November 2015 with 3 churches. RIBBA is a fellowship of Pastors and churches of like faith and the vision to plant churches throughout Argentina. Today we have 21 pastors and 19 churches involved in RIBBA. The vision of RIBBA is to help young men plant churches throughout Argentina. We will do this by: supporting them on a monthly basis, giving them special offerings to buy land, build a building or help with other expenses. We will also send teams to help with construction or do a VBS. We want to be a continuous encouragement to these new pastors and churches. |

Training Faithful Men
In our training of faithful men, it all starts with Discipleship in the local churches. For men who are called to be pastors we give them around 1,200 hours of Biblical instruction and then they must complete a 2 year internship with an experienced pastor before they can graduate. We believe this training will equip them to become faithful pastors for the long term. |
