Brad and Shilo Cain ...your connection to tribal missions 
Our new home in the Chaco.
 It seems hard to believe that it has been 2 months since we left Pennsylvania to come to our new home in Paraguay. We have been enjoying our first weeks in the country. Find out more below.
Our first month was spent in the capital of Asuncion, participating in an intensive orientation program, where were welcomed very warmly by our Paraguayan host church and host family, as they helped us begin to understand the culture and way of life in Paraguay. Even though it was only a short time of orientation, we felt that we got to know quite a bit of the history, culture, and lifestyle of Paraguay, and got to make fast friends with some of the people from our host church. While Paraguay and Venezuela share the same language (sort of 
, it is amazing how different some things can be between the two countries.
We arrived to our new home in Paraguay about a month ago. Once again we were warmly welcomed by our new teammates, who helped us paint and clean, prepared meals for us, and just blessed us in a myriad of ways. The house needed a lot of work to be made livable, but we are grateful to God for providing it for us to rent this next year, as it will meet our personal and ministry needs nicely.  It sure feels good to be in our own place after having lived in borrowed housing since March 5 when we left WA state to begin our travels east. Thanks so much to all of you who prayed for us, and gave financially, in order to make it possible for us to get to Paraguay and set up a house from scratch. It is amazing to see how God has provided for all of our needs, even in ways we didn’t ask or imagine. Seems to me I read a promise from God about that somewhere .Â
Thanks for praying for the new school year coming up. Teacher inservice meetings at the school have already started, and Brad starts teaching classes on August 24.   We are excited to see what God has in store for us this coming year!
