Two Guitars For Paraguay!

My co-workers responded to my request for help in bringing a guitar to Paraguay (I should say it was God who responded and did more than I could ask or think for) and we're taking two guitars. Someone donated a beautiful acoustic guitar, and with the money donated we were able to buy an acoustic-electric guitar, 2 hard-shell cases, extra strings, strap, cable, etc.

The hard cases are to protect the guitars, which will be with checked baggage. Pray they survive the trip and that no one between Charlotte and Asuncion takes a shine to them.

We leave this Thursday. That's close!

I'm fluent in Spanish and have been around the world but never to a Spanish-speaking country. And this is my first missions trip. I guess I'm a late bloomer.

My gift is to be able to put words together in poetry and music, but I haven't been able to do that in Spanish. Consequently, I have nothing to fall back on but the Lord. Our team is trusting Him to pour out His life through us to the church in Asuncion. We are going in weakness, depending on His strength.

I know prayers will follow (or precede and/or accompany) us, and I'm grateful for that. Life - bring us life!!! Risen life!!! Overcoming life!!! Life in the Son and in the Spirit. Life that cannot die. Eternal life - the life of the Eternal One.
