PARAGUAY MISSION – MONTHLY REPORT SUMMARY

Missionaries: Troy and Andrea Spradlin

Mission Field: Asunción, Paraguay
Date/No. of Report: May, 2011 / Vol. 3 No. 5

SPECIAL REPORT: FURLOUGH 2011

Andrea and I arrived in the United States on April 28 to begin five weeks of reporting to and visiting
our supporting congregations. We began at Palm Beach Lakes church of Christ in West Palm Beach,
FL, then on to Buda/Kyle, Dripping Springs, and Poolville churches of Christ in Texas, then back to
Florida at Margaret Street church of Christ in Milton, up to Central Avenue church of Christ in
Valdosta, Georgia, and finally back down to Miami to fly out. It was quite a whirlwind trip!

At the same time, it was so wonderful to see and visit

with our many friends and family. We are so blessed!
What an honor it was to bring a report of what God is
doing in Paraguay. Through this experience, Andrea
and I were greatly encouraged and “re-energized” to
return to Paraguay to continue our work here.

We would like to extend a heart warmed THANK YOU

to Virginia Guess; John and Carla Moore; Ed and
Suzie Temple; Rafael and Mary Salinas; and to our
families for your wonderful hospitality. We appreciate
you allowing us to be guests in your homes and we
were greatly encouraged to be with you!
Reporting to our supporting congregations.

Our plans for this summer include hosting campaign groups from Palm Beach Lakes and Margaret
Street. We will also be hosting a “Ladies Day Seminar” with special guest, Rhonda Thompson. I will
be joining a mission group from Margaret Street in Panama in July as a translator, while Andrea will
be hosting a young ladies “pajama party” at our home. In August, we hope to begin a new “Learn
English Using the Bible” campaign to generate more contacts. We will also be having several guests
and interns coming down this summer, so it is going to be very busy. All of these activities generate a
lot of excitement and greatly encourages the congregation in Asunción!

We seek to "equip the saints for the work of service to the
building up of the body of Christ." (Ephesians 4:12)

Our Mission Team Goals for 2011:

Evangelism: We plan to make evangelistic efforts as a team through personal Bible studies from contacts
generated by public advertising, targeting specific neighborhoods, hosting special events such as “Teaching
English Using the Bible” campaigns, and Special Interest Seminars. We also want to encourage and develop a
more evangelistic spirit within the congregation utilizing Friends and Family Days, VBS, Prayer Vigils,
Anniversary Service, and Personal Evangelism Training.
Elders (Formal Leadership training). We plan to “mentor” our elder
candidates through personal one-on-one meetings with elders visiting
from the USA, and through Skype calls. We also plan to study with
them on a regular basis, as well as, mentor other promising brothers
for leadership positions such as deacons, or evangelists. We hope to
develop deeper relationships between the missionaries and the
church leaders through regular meals and social gatherings. We will
also be developing a Leadership Manual for Elders in Spanish.
Edifice (Building Construction): We hope to complete all legal
paperwork for construction and secure a loan for the Sacramento
congregation. The Paraguayan brothers will have the responsibility of
repaying the loan over the next 10 years. We will also assist them in
developing detailed plans and construction phases. We also pray to
begin construction on phase 1 this year.
