We would like to share some amazing news with you. In April, the Paraguayan counterpart of
Serving Paraguay known as Fundación Sirviendo al Paraguay, became an officially
recognized foundation here in Paraguay.
As many of you know, the work that Serving Paraguay does
takes place on a beautiful 40-acre piece of property comprised of 12 houses,
administrative buildings, a farm, and the school facilities. When Shaun and I arrived in Paraguay in 2009,
we began the ministry here under a contract with the owners of the property, a
Paraguayan foundation called Fundación Ganar.
The view from the ministry property
Over the past four and a half years we have directed the
ministries taking place here and watched as God opened doors, touched lives,
and blessed our community in amazing ways.
Shaun and I had dreamed that someday the property that we were caring
for and living on would belong to our foundation, but it was not something that
we discussed with many people.
In April, when I advised the secretary of the Fundación
Ganar of our success in establishing our foundation here in Paraguay, she
expressed her desire that the property be donated to our foundation. After deliberation by the Fundación Ganar, it
was decided that they would donate this property and all furnishings to
Fundación Sirviendo al Paraguay. We have
been in the process of working out all the paperwork to finalize this transfer
over the past couple of months. Even in
this time, it has been difficult for us to comprehend the reality of this
donation. Tonight we finally have the
completed property transfer and title in our hands. With God, all things are possible!
Signing to receive the property donation
We want to express our sincere thanks to the Fundación Ganar
for this amazing blessing. We do not
know all that God will do on this property in the future, but we want to thank
Him today for making this ministry possible and for allowing our foundation to
receive this land. May His will be done
in all things and may all that happens here bring glory and honor to Him!
