Missions in Argentina

In Argentina, the Assemblies of God has a missions program that is similar to the program in the United States.  Like BGMC (Boys and Girls Missions Challenge), Argentina has Manos Chiquitas (small hands).  Argentina kids use a Mate gourd to take offerings (where kids in the states use "Buddy Barrel").  The slogan that Argentina uses is on the poster below, which translates to "Missions is done with the feet of those who go, the knees of those who stay, and the hands of those who give."

Doorbell

Do you have a doorbell?  We finally have a doorbell here in Argentina.  It is customary to clap your hands instead of knocking on the door here in northwest Argentina because everyone has fences/gates and dogs.  At times, it is difficult to know that someone is clapping at your door - especially if you have music playing or are out in the backyard.  Not everyone uses our doorbell, but it helps for the most part!

So the next time someone knocks or rings your doorbell, imagine if they had only clapped!  It was difficult to catch someone clapping at our door, so we made a "mock" video to give you an idea!
