Hello All!
As many of you have heard, we are returning to the country of Paraguay this August to once again share the Gospel with whom God has prepared in advance for us :). We will be serving and working along side the church of Florida in Paraguay as last year.
We have 4 new team members this year, which is very exciting. These people are: Casey Parker, Micah Leong, Sam Saravolatz, and Sophie Cardwell. They are all college students. Returning this year are Andrew Leong, Daniel Wiiki (our team leader), Marc Rance, Pastor Matt Swiatek, Portia Reimer, and myself, Victoria Grams.
We sent out many letters about a week and a half ago asking for support - both financially and in prayer. We have already seen God answering prayers, He is so faithful! Along with those prayer/support letters were included personal life updates from team members. You are welcome to comment on this post if you are interested in receiving a letter from a team member, or if you know you would love to be our partners in prayer and/or financially give.
We are so excited to see what God has in store for us this year. As you may have read from previous posts, although the work is tiring, it is extremely rewarding as we get to see first hand and share how God is working in the country of Paraguay.
I came across this quote recently from a missionary on the joy of missions and serving Christ.
"The missionary heart: Care more than some think is wise. Risk more than some think is safe. Dream more than some think is practical. Expect more than some think is possible. I was called not to comfort or success but to obedience….There is no joy outside of knowing Jesus and serving him."

We serve the God of the Universe, with Him nothing is Impossible. Join us in prayer and support as we go to Paraguay in obedience to where God is sending us!
Isaiah 45:22 - “Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other"
