Looking back - 2024

A year with thousands of miles

As 2023 was wrapping up we were working on plans for a motorcycle trip that would take us from the USA to Paraguay, in approximately two months.  

We began riding January 24th in Orlando FL and arrived March 12th in Encarnacion Paraguay where we take residency. The stories and experiences would fill pages and could even become a book. (some day)

In a nutshell, we learned so much about each other (Marcos my son and I) as we took on the challenge and helped each other out on this long journey. We discovered the beauty of Latin America, its people, cultures and tastes. We experienced God in a new way. For me (Norberto) this journey, indirectly became a retreat and gave me much time to reflect about my faith and how to connect the dots of ministry, family and life altogether. 

We are in debt with many people. Those who supported us financially, those who gave us gifts and everything that's needed for a trip this size. We are in debt with God for his protection and love over the 12 thousand mile journey. 

Pan-American trip. Bikes on a misión:

  • We spoke in 15 churches and organizations. 
  • Gave away 100 + tracs and pieces of literature
  • Prayed with over 50 bikers
  • Covered 12 miles, in 50 days
  • Connected with CMA in Mexico, Colombia, and Peru.
  • Connected with Church of God in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Peru, Argentina. 
  • Visited CMA Iron Mountain on our way thru Arkansa and got a taste of a ministry that has reached bikers for half a century. 


Other Highlights:

  • Our son Marcos got married to Paola on Sept 14th
  • Two dozen pastors and leaders will finish the two year Bethel Bible series
  • Eight Families got time away to relax via project REST
  • Three families enjoyed received a loan for an entrepreneurial project coined project BREAD
  • Eight new CMA motorcycles got into the hands of capable pastors
  • Shared twice across the border in Argentina at special events
  • Spoke and shared in various congregations in Paraguay 
  • Nancy finished her first year with Anderson School of Theology two year online theological program 

It’s been a joy to see good things happen. People drew closer to the Lord, ministries and congregations have grown and expanded and motorcycles are now in the hands of pastors and leaders who are multiplying their efforts to reach a the loss and build the church.

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...
