Jon and Jen Quast Learning Language and Culture of Paraguay About
The Goal
The goal of our ministry in nutshell form is this: to go to an unreached people group who has never heard the good news of what Jesus has done for them and learn their language and culture so that we can tell them this good news. We pray that they will believe it is true and will begin to grow in their relationship with their creator. We also desire to be able to give them God’s precious Word in their own language so that they can read it for themselves.
Presently we are not involved in the church planting process, it still remains a future ministry. On January 25th 2009 we decided to move forward in our church planting plans and officially begin moving towards a ministry in Paraguay. This is a very exciting time for us!
Paraguay has 7 tribal groups that still have not had the opportunity to hear the gospel in their own language. We will go to one of these. The groups range greatly in size (14,000 in Mbya, to only a couple hundred in the Guana) but all need Jesus desperately. We are excited that in the near future all Paraguayan tribal groups could have access to the gospel! We can only do this through our partnering with you to reach them.
Present Reality
We have finished all our training at the Missionary Training Center and now we are on the road until we leave for Paraguay. During these last few months stateside we’ll be visiting with family, friends, our sending church, supporting churches and meeting with individuals as we continue to raise support and share what the Lord has laid upon our hearts, to reach the lost tribes in Paraguay with the Good News of Christ!
