Please pray for this nation. Pray that God's will be done, and that the enemy is thwarted in his attempts to change the history of this nation. Please pray for safety and security of all of us foreigners who work here. There is a possibility that a good friend of Chavez, the president of Venezuela, will become the next president. If this happens, it is very likely that most, if not all, foreigners (especially missionaries) could be told to leave the country.
Our family is in the process of obtaining residency (legal status to remain in Paraguay indefinitely). This could, at the very least, be interrupted or terminated. What that means is that we would either have to start the process over again (which takes almost 2 years), or we will have to leave and re-enter the country every ninety days. Now, this is not a guaranteed process because immigration can deny us a Visa into the country.
So, please pray hard this weekend so we can do what God has called us to do. I don't want this to sound like we are scared or anything like that, but we do understand the seriousness of this election in Paraguay. I also understand that God can and will work through whatever situation there is. In fact, I believe the church grows stronger, faster, and more spiritual in times of persecution. Who knows? Maybe Paraguay needs a time of trial in order to go to God on their knees. I know, personally, that things have happened in my life that have brought me to my knees and closer to God.
Blessings to all and don't forget to go to your knees,
Charley
