Ever since we got back from South America in September 2006, we have been talking about going back again and the time is finally here. During our last trip, we were able to make a connection with the Paraguay Vineyard’s pastor Pascual and his wife Patty and have been able to stay in contact with them electronically. Since then Josh has also been asked to head up the United States side of the “Paraguay Partnership” (a collection of Vineyard churches – including several from Chile – united in support of the Paraguay Vineyard.) We are headed back again in a few months to renew relationships in both Paraguay and Chile.
We will be leading a small team from the U.S. and Chile to spend two weeks in Paraguay teaching a prayer/healing seminar as well as just spending time with Pascual, Patty, and the church family there. We’ll then head over to Chile for a week to strengthen our partnership with the Vineyard churches there. Only God knows the exact details of what He will do with us during the trip, but we look forward to the adventure. [@more@]
We pray that our presence there will communicate His incredible love and that our marriage 
and ministry together will be an example in a country even more devoid of positive marital role models than ours is! Please be praying with us as we prepare to go – especially that God will provide the nearly $5,000 that it will take to get both of us there. The tentative schedule looks like this:
- April 13 – $4000 needed to purchase airline tickets
- June 1 – due date for the remainder of the funds needed for the trip
- June 13 – leave Boise for the 30+ hour trip to Paraguay
- June 27 – head over to Chile from Paraguay
- July 4 – return to Boise from Chile
We cannot ever completely express how much your prayers and support mean to us during trips like these. God has blessed us so much through all of you and we pray that you also would experience the overflowing blessings of the Lord as a result of your part of His work.
Any financial contributions can be made out to “Vineyard Boise” with “Paraguay Partnership” in the memo line. So that we can make sure they get to the right place at the church, just send them directly to us. If you need our address, please leave a comment and I'll send it to you.
Blessings,
J & E
