Amy is in Paraguay

Amy left yesterday with our church team to Paraguay.  Please pray that they arrive safely and that they will have a blessed time ministering to the people while they are there.

Back from Paraguay

Everyone made it back from Paraguay safely. The team shared their experiences and pictures at church. It was great!

Update from Paraguay

I received a short email from Amy this morning. She said that today the group working at the daycare will be dressing the children in the new outfits that we purchased for them. They pray for that child silently as they get each child dressed. She also said that part of the group would be painting the outside of the daycare where the flower beds are and putting in soil and planting today.

I have not heard an update on how the church building is going or how the medical clinic is going, but I am sure that it is going good. Amy said that they all line up to check their email every night, so they do not have much time to email much. I can hardly wait to hear how everything went Sunday. You will not want to miss that and the great pictures from the trip.

Please continue to lift of prayers for the team, the children and workers at the daycare, the people who come to the medical clinic, the people who come to the worship services, the Toba Indians, the people who will be a part of the church our team is building, and the country of Paraguay.

Paraguay Mission Trip 2009

Please keep Amy and Eli in your prayers for the next 2 weeks. They leave with our church on Thursday for a mission trip to Paraguay. They and the rest of the team will have a blessed time.

Recently Spoke at UNA's ILR

Recently we were invited with a group from our church to speak about Paraguay at a meeting of UNA's Institute for Learning in Retirement. We gave a quick history of Paraguay and showed some pictures of the projects that our church supports, and talked about our recent mission trips to Paraguay. We also sold some of the Toba Indian crafts that we bought on our last trip and handed out some prayer cards. It was great! They asked lots of good questions. They even invited us to the refreshments they were having afterward.

Back safely

The mission team made it back safely yesterday afternoon! They are all very tired. I can't wait to hear all about it and see the pictures. Hopefully, we can post some of them soon. Some numbers that I do have: 63 received Christ and 444 received medical attention. Praise God!

Mission Trip to Paraguay

Amy just left with the mission team from Grace Bible Church and St. James UMC. They are on the way to Paraguay right now. Please pray that they will have a safe trip, God will use them to show His love to the people of Paraguay, and a safe return.
