Dear Friends, JUNE 2009
We hope this letter finds you rejoicing in the many blessings of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Isn’t it wonderful to know that God is in control of the drama of our lives!?!
We want to share with you what has been happening in our lives and work here in Paraguay as we teach God’s Word to the Pai Tavyterã Tribal People.
We Praise God that the Believers are maturing Spiritually and the Church is growing.
Please Pray especially for the Tribal children as Winter sets in here. They always suffer the most in the cold weather.
Also please Pray that the sun will shine on Sunday morning for the children’s Sunday school since I teach them outside in the open and many of them come in short sleeves even when it’s cold because they don’t own warm clothes. They are used to sitting by a fire for warmth.
Pray for us as we make trips back and forth between the town where we live and the Indian Colony, for safety and good running vehicle in spite of the rough road conditions.
Please Continue to pray for the Bible classes among the Tribal men and women.
Pray that we will have wisdom to be able to teach clearly so that the People will understand and apply it to their own lives.
We are excited that there are several new believers and planning a baptism for sometime in September.
Please Pray too for us to have wisdom in caring for and hosting the New Tribes Mission Guest House along with our other responsibilities.
Samuel will be taking Stefany back to the States for her to attend the New Tribes Mission Bible school. He and Stefany will fly out of Asuncion on July 16th and he will take Stefany to
Wisconsin the first part of August.
Please Pray that Stefany will find a job quickly there in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
Also for Stefany as it will be quite an adjustment for her to study in English since she did most of her grade school and all of high school in Spanish.
We are Praising the Lord that Samuel now has a sponsor for his green card (immigrant visa). Please continue to Pray for the process to go smoothly. We will be petitioning for it at the American Embassy as soon as he returns from the U.S.A. in August. Right now Samuel only has a ten year tourist visa which is very limited.
Reaching tribal people for Christ requires a large team of Christians each working together in the ministry that God has given them.
We are so thankful for those working at the Bible and missionary training schools who taught and prepared us many years ago for our ministry.
The missionaries in remote places of the world depend on the support team
back at the N.T.M. home office in Sanford, Florida to keep things running smoothly so that they can focus on their tribal ministry. You are also an important part of this team, as together; we are involved in taking the Gospel to Tribal People.
We are thankful to God for each of you who faithfully supports and prays for us.
“For we are laborers together with God.” 1 Cor. 3:9
Thank you for being our co-workers!
In Christ’s Service, Samuel, Tracy & Family
