The Pastors’ Lunch

Today was the end of year lunch for all of the pastors in Puerto Madryn. Well, all of the pastors that are part of the pastoral council in Puerto Madryn. There are probably hundreds of churches in the city but only some forty or fifty pastors on the council. Of these, about thirty turned up at our YWAM base for a hearty lunch of lamb on the stake and salad. Entertainment was some of Argentina’s national dances by our very own staff and students.
