NTM Updates from PARAGUAY

PARAGUAY (Sanapaná tribe)

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 0:00:00 CST

Missionary John Stucky and his Sanapaná co-worker, Regino, are working this week with a skilled Bible translator, Paul Cheshire, to check about 700 verses in the Sanapaná translation. Please pray that the team will have wisdom as they determine whether the translation is clearly communicating God's Word to the Sanapaná people.

PARAGUAY (Manjui tribe)

Tue, 3 Nov 2009 0:00:00 CST

A Manjui Bible teacher -- Isnei -- is now teaching a group about the life of Christ. This group of Manjuis had no idea what the Old Testament was about before Isnei taught them. They are now beginning to understand clearly that Jesus is the Messiah they heard about in the previous lessons. Please pray that they will express true faith in Christ.

PARAGUAY (Nivacle tribe)

Jamie and Char Hunt are transitioning to a new ministry among the Nivacle people. They will join Manjui missionaries, Isnei and Zitilla, who are currently teaching Bible lessons to the people. Please pray the Hunts will find a good building site and pray that the Nivacles will understand what they are hearing.

New home, new ministry, same God

Dena McMaster — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 0:00:00 CDT

Missionaries Jamie and Char Hunt recently visited a Nivacle village in Paraguay to search for a new home site as they make plans to transition to a new ministry.

The Hunts have worked among the Manjui tribal people for many years and hope that their move to the Nivacle work will be an encouragement and help to Manjui missionaries, Isnei and Zitilla, who are currently ministering there.

For the last nine months Isnei has been teaching evangelistic Bible lessons in the village and is delighted that some seem to clearly understand God's Word. Pray for Isnei and Zitilla as they continue their ministry among the Nivacles. Pray also for Jamie and Char as they finish their work among the Manjui so that they can transition to the Nivacle work.

PARAGUAY (Pai Tavy Tera tribe)

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 0:00:00 CDT

Thirty-five Pai men from different communities met Saturday to discuss the status of the churches and how they can move forward to produce mature churches. Please pray that God will give them wisdom as they work together to see the churches mature and expand to other communities.
