ENCUENTRO NEWS February 2022
Dear Friends,

Can you believe it’s almost March already?

I hope you’ve started this New Year encouraged that Jesus is always with us, and that God remains in control—no matter what’s happening in the world.

Thank you for being part of our ENCUENTRO ministry! It is a privilege to work alongside you to change lives in Latin America.

Two years into the pandemic, and the power of media to share the Gospel has never been more important. With your help, we are reaching thousands of people right where they’re at…in their homes. Even in the furthest corners of Latin America’s mountains and jungles.

I’m sure you’re tired of COVID. We all are.

Just remember the song that tells us that God has the whole world in His hands; He has the little children in His hands, the fish, the birds, the sun, the moon and you and me. He has everything in His hands—and that’s why we trust Him.

The good news is that we are planning events again, while continuing to produce our radio shows. We have planned to hold retreats in Honduras, Guatemala and the United States this spring. 

Please pray that we’ll be able to minister in these different places, safely and without disruption.

Once again, thank you for participating in this important work.

Ernesto and Marina Pinto
A few productions your generosity helped create:
ENCUENTRO: Radio Program
Program #1414 The Signs of a bad marriage
Many of us would like to have a formula to be happy and to have a functional marriage. We ask ourselves how can we define the real struggles and difficulties that hinder our relationship as a couple? And how can we find a cure, or a solution, to those problems? Doctor Teófilo Rivas from San Salvador interviewed Pastor Ernesto Pinto in his own program: “Rescuing the family.”
ENCUENTRO FAMILIAR : Women's Radio Program
Program # 133: It is not my time to die yet
Marina Pinto talks with Carmen from Argentina who suffered from COVID last year. Carmen tried to take care of herself, but she needed to go to the bank to withdraw her monthly retirement cheque. And she thinks that she got infected standing in line at the bank.
A few days later she had a very strong headache and her whole body hurt. Carmen shares with us about her experience while she was in the hospital and she tells us that she strongly believed that it was not the time for her to die yet. She knows that there is still time to do more here on this earth.
ENCUENTRO BLOG
Every week we publish a new blog on our website:

Where are the poor on our agenda? Under the pretext that Christ said: “You will always have the poor with you,” we have abandoned our commitment to the less fortunate, to the despised, to the hopeless of this world—and we even glorify poverty. Let us study the issue of poverty on Christ's agenda.
NEW BOOK

El Niño del Bananal: La historia de Ernesto Pinto

We are so happy to inform that Paul Boge’s book “The Sound of Hope: The Ernesto Pinto Story” was translated in Spanish last year.

“Discover in this reading, how God calls a child from a banana field, without resources, to bring hope to millions. You will be surprised to see how miraculously God helps Ernesto and Marina to conquer many hearts destroyed by sin and despair. El Niño del Bananal is an inspiring read.
Thank you so much for your generosity!
