Good Friday Evening ServiceThings have been very busy here. Good, but busy. I find I have not been able to visit many blogs regularly. I try and get around to everyone's at least once a week, but am not always able to.
Ministry wise, things are going well. We started the small home Bible Study here at the house for married couples and it has grown from 4 couples to 8 couples. It is fun to host them here at the house. We have one couple that has only been married for a few weeks and others ranging up to old married folk of over 20 years.
Couples Bible study at our house.
The back patio is perfect for the group.Clint has also been able to continue with his outreach to the Paraguayan Air Force. The Commandant has asked him to begin another series of seminars on Saturdays for all the enlisted men. This has brought many good contacts. One of the men in the church is and officer in the Air Force and has been able to help with this tremendously. 38 men have placed their faith in Christ! On Sundays several people with cars go and pick as many up for service as we can, but not all are ever able to make it, so they come in turns. Easter Sunday several of these men, and others, were baptized by my son in law.
Sunday Morning Service.You can see an entire aisle of the servicemen in dark blue uniforms.
They crack me up as they stand at Parade Rest during each and every song.
Clint has enjoyed the time with the military guys and was invited to watch the paratroopers jump. He has been offered a chance to jump as well as the rest of the family. The girls will probably do it but I don't think my back would handle it too well. BUMMERS! This is something I would truly love to be able to do!
The other church we have been helping has also increased in attendance of late. Clint was able to speak at a family camp for them and also the three day revival during the Easter week. There is a lead on a possible pastor for them which would be great!

Love the mural in the Church! How incredible.
Praise the Lord for your ministry there in Paraguay!
I´m so happy for you that you are seeing such success in your work here.
Your girls look happy and I hope they and you are feeling more and more at home here!
Those are great pictures. Having been in law enforcement for a brief time in my sadly misspent youth, I always enjoy seeing cops and servicemen in church.
I also got a kick out of your post about cleaning the Catholic church. My wife and her family were Catholics.
OK, so now we know why you're so busy. I hear that Muslims are trying to make inroads into S. America just like they're trying to make inroads everywhere. I hope you get to people first.
This looks lovely! I'm so happy it was a good Easter for you.
