As the pastor of St. James Anglican Church in Punta Arenas, Chile I also have responsibility for the British School which is connected to the church (http://www.britishschool.cl). At present the school is looking for someone to teach Christian Education from preschool classes up to fourth grade. As chaplain to this school I am asking for your help because we urgently need a mission partner to cover this need starting in March of 2012, and from

2013 we need a teacher of Christian Education from fifth to eighth grade.

We are looking for a person with a missionary vision, a committed evangelical Christian with a teacher’s degree. We believe that the school is an important area of ministry not only among the children and young people, but also among the staff and parents. We are praying for the right person to fill this important post. Stand with us in prayer. Please contact SAMS for further details.

Very sincerely,

Rev. Alistair Morrison, Punta Arenas, Chile (Patagonia).

Chile, News

The Valparaiso Cerro Abajo Race is a legendary urban bike race and is more extreme than skydiving. The rider must brave jumps, stray dogs, and flights of stairs along the steep downhill path. The first person perspective provided by the excellent helmet cam lets us take in every glorious and frightening detail.

Paraguay, PRAY

One month in and I can honestly say that Paraguay is beginning to work its charm on me. It’s an impossible place to describe, I can’t explain what it’s like – it’s old but modern; it’s eccentric but understated; it’s poor and it’s rich; it’s beautiful and it’s plain; it’s exciting but it lacks vibrancy. I think it’s a “have-to-be-there” situation. I have tried to explain it, and some of my thoughts and emotions, on my blog: hannahparaguay.blogspot.com – please feel free to read!

I’ve really appreciated your prayerful support thus far, and I hope to be able to send home regular prayer letters with a brief update on what I’m doing.

School is very busy at the moment with exams and class trips/retreats – I’d appreciate your prayer for school:

For the pupils:

for God’s protection in every aspect of their lives.
that exam time would be stress-free and that pressure from parents would be minimal
for safe and memorable trips, especially for the 3^rd Form in their final year of school

For the staff:
