Toribio

I am always so impressed with the sacrificial
service of so many Paraguayan Christians that we
have the privilage to work with. One such man
is an evangelist named Toribio Franco. He was
asked to be one of our speakers at youth camp.
Like many pastors in Paraguay Toribio also has a
full-time job. After working an 8 hour day he
rode 3 hours by bus and another hour and a half
by car to get to the site of our camp. When he
had finished speaking he then turned around and
made the 4 1/2 hour trip back home in order to
be at his work by 6:00 the next morning. As
missionaries we are only a small piece in God's
plan for Paraguay. The greater work He is doing
through men like Toribio.
