As I talked with our Acting Field Director here
in Paraguay, he related to me his concerns for a
young, first-term, missionary couple that was
under incredible stress.
Left to pastor a growing church and direct a
small school with no other missionaries to help
on site, they were at the point of calling it
quits and heading back to the states.
When I hung up the phone and told Kelly the
story, we both felt an overwhelming burden for
this couple, and we asked God if He might want
us to go help them. The Lord impressed upon us
that it was His will to go.
We will be trimming back severly our ministry
here in Ita Angu'a as we will be moving to
Villarrica. Villarrica is where Kelly and I
first worked with youth and helped plant the
very church this young couple is now pastoring.
"Had we heard the Lord clearly on this
decision?", we wondered. A confirmation that we
had, came after spending only 3 hours in
Villarrica looking for a house.
A member of the church in Villarrica is going to
let us use for free his fully furnished house.
This house has everything all the way down to
silverware. We will basically just walk in and
settle down. In that same three hours we were
also given the use of a car for free. PRAISE THE
LORD!
