Mission Strategy Details:
Our Plan PDF Print E-mail

We have been praying and preparing for missionary service for three years.

We wish to diligently apply ourselves to further preparation; including language learning, team development, and mission strategy formulation.

We will seek to "equip the saints for the work of service to the building up of the body of Christ." (Ephesians 4:12) by doing the following:

  • Evangelizing the area to bring more lost souls into the family of God in Asuncion
  • Teach and train the current members to be leaders, teachers, and evangelists
  • Continue developing a children's Bible class work within the congregation

We are committed to working in Paraguay for at least five (5) years beginning in September 2009.

We are committed to working beyond the five year plan, if there continues to be a need.

Upon our return to the United States, we would like to find a congregation with which to work.

  • "Sow the seed" in the field of Paraguay, always allowing God to give the increase
  • Be useful in the kingdom and allow the power of the Gospel to work in the lives of those in Paraguay
  • Have supporting congregations consistently visit, minister, and pray for the work in Paraguay
