Brad and Shilo Cain ...your connection to tribal missions
When you see the Bottle Tree, you know you have arrived to the Gran Chaco region of Paraguay. This distinctive landmark derives it’s name from the shape of its trunk (in the local language it’s actually called the Drunken Tree). It can reach 75 feet and is extremely drought resistant due to the fact that it can store water in its trunk. This is important in a land where temperatures can remain near 110 degrees for months, rain is infrequent, and the wind is fierce.
When 5 and 2 come knocking you welcome them! True, at first with a bit of sorrowful wonder that they should have arrived so soon, 
but quickly you embrace them and your heart fills with joy. How could it do anything else when they come as two redheaded,happy hearted boys? 
Happy Birthday both of you!! We love you!
The proud papa with baby Samuel
Thanks for praying for a safe delivery of our baby. Our son, Samuel, was born on August 31, and is now two months old and growing like a weed. Check our news updates for all the details.
Thanks too for praying about our decision about where to serve God next. At this time, we feel God is leading us to continue our ministry to MK’s and their parents in Paraguay, South America. You can also read all those details in our latest news update on this site, or in our upcoming newsletter.
