Mission Report - April 2013
Evangelistic Contacts / Bible Studies: Andrea and I are continuing our studies with our Learn English Using the Bible students, Adriana Rodriguez, and Sergia Frutos using Searching for Truth. Andreas study with Dina Aycock is going very well as she continues to ask more questions and she comes to realize the truth of Gods word. My study with Marile Romi Balbuena is going well. Her interest in Revelation has afforded the opportunity to teach many other parts of the Bible as we progress through the book. Comfort in Times of Grief is a group study program that was designed to help those who have lost a loved one by focusing on Gods word while sharing their grief with others who may have experienced the same thing. The team developed the program to not only help our grieving members, but also as a possible form of community outreach. Brittnea Yegros has done an outstanding job in getting this program going and the current group that is meeting is composed of several visitors. We pray it will be a useful service to the community, bring souls closer to God, and ultimately glorify Him. Asuncin Bible Academy update: The students and teachers have settled in nicely to their routines and have already completed several courses. The students are showing great promise in their efforts and attention. They have finals the week of May 6, then a short course with brother Donnie Bates. There will also be a campaign in emby. The campaign will be an evangelistic effort with a focus in finding new contacts and potential Bible studies in the area in order to prepare and coincide with the upcoming church plant in that city. Recent Developments: Perry and Alba Hardin have arrived at the end of their agreed time of commitment with the mission team. Perry has been invaluable to the work here in Paraguay and the Lords kingdom has certainly been blessed through his efforts. Although he will no longer be serving on the team, he and Alba will be remaining in Paraguay as he will be serving as Academic Co-Director and teacher for the Asuncion Bible Academy.
