arrow icon. 'We Know that God Still Goes that Road with Us' Second Sunday of Lent, March 8, 2009
Miguel Arenas-Herrera has been a Global Ministries missionary serving in Uruguay for the past seven years. He was a teacher of English as a Second Language, chaplain of the Crandon School in Salto, local pastor of San Lucas Methodist Church, and coordinator of the Renacer Methodist Camp Center project in Paysandú. He is an associate pastor of the Central Methodist Church in Montevideo. He has been working in music and liturgy for several years, as well as on Christian education issues. The encounter with Christ radically changes someone's life. Nevertheless, there are certain conditions to following Jesus. Peter didn't understand Jesus' plan when He spoke to him about suffering on the cross. Peter had accepted Jesus as the Messiah, but he didn't accept him as a suffering Messiah. As a result of that, Jesus described his path to the cross and the meaning of it for the life of his disciples.

arrow icon. Christmas and Family: Good News for Everyone 
"Christmas is a time to share with family." Our ears, thoughts, and hearts are so full of such words that we believe that without family there can be no Christmas. For those who can't physically be with our families, Christmas can be a time of sorrow instead of rejoicing.

These first months of the year have been full of new experiences and blessing. In January I spent time with my family in Iquique, Chile, worked with a VIM work team from Illinois at the “Kusayapu” agriculture school and then shared my missionary vision, work and experience with the youth annual conference of the Chilean Methodist church. Finally, I visited the national annual conference of the Chilean Methodist church in Santiago.

 Aid in the Wake of Globalization

Villagers who once lived in prosperous agricultural regions of Uruguay now live in poverty as a result of economic and political changes in the region. At the place where Uruguay touches the corners of Brazil and Argentina lies a muddy, waterlogged village called Bella Union. Scraps of corrugated metal, plastic, and wood shelter families of five or six. Old cars sit lifeless on dirt roads, reminding the villagers of past promises. This productive agricultural region now suffers the effects of globalization.

 Home of the Sunrise

Joanna, resident at the orphanage; a street child in the Bella Union slum outside Montevideo; a school child in Yacare, Uruguay. The warm fire, the warmly dressed children reading and playing, and the aroma of the roasted chicken being cooked by the older children for the others at Hogar El Amanecer (Sunrise House), the Lutheran-Methodist orphanage in Montevideo, contradicted the lasting images in my mind of children who performed juggling acts in the streets for money or encircled me in the streets to give them change.

arrow icon. Lighting the Way for Children 
An extraordinary coincidence became apparent as we gathered the stories for this issue of New World Outlook. As the articles arrived, I noticed the names of the ministries in many of these articles contained the words "light," "day," or "sunrise." ... Yet one over-riding theme came through: ministries that reach homeless and orphaned children are ministries of light. They reach into lives that exist in very dark places and open the curtains.

arrow icon. The Methodist Church of Uruguay also says no to the war 
The Evangelical Methodist Church in Uruguay is against the use of violence as an instrument to resolve conflicts. We are conscious of the fear that terrorism provokes, but the war is not the solution. Neither will it resolve human rights abuses, or the absence of democracy in some parts of the world. Furthermore, the new “preemptive war” philosophy, endorsed only by suspicions, puts us in a highly dangerous path for the future of humanity and the co- habitation as nations.
