Paraguay
In March Tim was in Pedro Juan Caballero,
Paraguay. We were able to participate in
several Bible study and outreach events. A father and his daughter accepted
Christ at a weekly Bible study meeting.
We met many Nikkei in this town. We were able to spend time with a Brazilian family
who is currently living in Paraguay to help lead the church in this town.
The church is over 50 years old and has been established and lead by missionaries visiting regularly from Brazil. Please pray for the believers in this town and the 10 small Nikkei populations scattered around Paraguay.
Most of these communities do not have an evangelical church in their community.
Venezuela
Also, we were able to visit Venezuela and
connect with the Wayuu that we worked with more than 10 years ago. At one of the home Bible studies we had three
family members that accepted Christ and said that they wanted to be
Baptized. A service is scheduled for
this month. There are still some friends
we reconnected with that have not made a decision for Christ. The church is growing, cell groups are
growing and people are individually maturing in their relationship with God.
(Praise) We discussed their involvement with mission work in Venezuela and with indigenous people around South America.
Peru
We are coming to the close of our
time in Lima. We are connecting people we have been ministering to with some our Peruvian Christian friends.
Yoshihisa Shimoda (Japanese missionary in Peru) is going to Bolivia with our team
this week to share in Riberalta, Bolivia.
(please pray for the mission team this week) Jesus Loo and Carlos Baca will also be apart of mission team in Bolivia this week.
We will be in the states from June 20th until sometime Feb/March of 2016..
