MISSION: Kingdom Building

It all started when this woman shared with our women's group that she had a vision to share Jesus with a small village 10 minutes south of town called, "Cerro Corá" She said she'd be starting a Bible club there on Saturday mornings and invited us to come help her. That was two years ago. Now, she has a thriving children's ministry and adult Bible study. The faithfulness of Elena, one of my close friends, to love these poor children and their families is because of Elena's love for God. She spends her afternoons visiting the children and their families on her moped bike, praying for them and their needs. She gives out clothes, food and distributed blankets from our project to the poorest families.

Her Bible club meets in a church member's back room. It's 6X18 ft and the children are squeezed into the room like sardines. There were 36 children present when I was there two weeks ago, but last week there were 56! Elena (in the black coat) told me that their big problem is that there is no more room or chairs.

I counted at least five little ones without seats and my heart went out to them.

When it rains, they can't meet because they do their craft and snack outside because of the space issue.

Now, Cerro Corá is praying for their own church. There is no evangelical church in their town and we are praying that they can buy land to build a church building and serve more people. Friends have already donated $2,000 toward a piece of property and they still need $1600 to buy a big lot (40x135ft). They already have the metal structure donated to build the church and once they buy the lot, all they need is to buy bricks and cement to have their own church!

If you or your children's ministry would like to help Cerro Corá build their church, or buy chairs and benches, please click the orange "Donate Now" button on the right hand side of the page and designate your tax-deductible gift to: Paraguay Projects- Cerro Corá.

Christmas in Paraguay!

If you're wondering what Paraguayans do at Christmastime, they have some great traditions , including the " noche buena " meal on Christmas Eve at midnight. They eat lots chipa guasu (a type of corn casserole, stay tuned for a recipe), asado or grilled meat (some eat it cold), salads, especially fruit salad, watermelon and drink mucho terere . Families travel from all over the country, many even return from working in other countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Spain, to celebrate with loved ones. This is us at last year's Kurrle celebration in Asuncion. Festivities are anything but a silent night with fireworks, loud music and drinking cidra (hard cider). Most Paraguayans do not decorate Christmas trees (we decorate ours in shorts!) or emphasize Santa Claus. Instead, they put beautiful nativities " pesebres " in their yards and in store fronts. Kind of novel to focus on Christ at Christmas, isn't it! To beat the heat, many Paraguayans g...

Paraguayan Weddings

On Valentine’s Day, we had the joy of attending the wedding of Sandra and Anastacio, young leaders in the church. Sandra is my assistant with Children of Promise and Anastacio, apart from his carpentry job, has a popular youth-focused radio program every night at 8:00 on our station. We’ve been to quite a few weddings, and these are some of the uniquenesses of southern Paraguayan wedding celebrations from our North American culture: 1. Nothing is fancy. Emphasis is placed on the act of marriage and not on the decorations or food. 2. It is not an expectation that parents help pay for expenses. Most families just make it each month with regular expenses and cannot afford to pay for eleborate feasts. Most couples have to spend months saving for their own wedding. 3. Borrow as much as possible. Many times wedding dresses are borrowed 5-10 times, because few women can afford their own. Flowers, decorations, shoes and ties (Norb loans out his ties often...since he never wears them!...

How to make Rosella (Roselle) Juice and Tea

This is rosella (not to be confused with grosella, which is gooseberry). Rosella is from the hibiscus family. It's harvest time here, and we use the rosella to make juice and tea. It's properties are absolutely tremendous. It helps sooth colds, coughs, helps digestion, promotes healthy kidney function, is a treatment for cancer, and reduces a fever and that's just a few of its benefits! To make rosella juice, first de-pit the fruit and wash the skin thoroughly. Put the fruit into boiling water until the water is bright red (about 15 minutes). The color is so vibrant, Roselle is sold to make dyes. Strain the fruit (which can be used to make a delicious jam) and refrigerate the juice. Add a few squirts of Stevia for a healthy drink. The finished product looks exactly like red Kool-aid, but is entirely full of nutrients. We can't get enough of it. We dehydrated the petals for hot tea. All you need is two dried flowers to infus...
