Hola family and friends, we are so overwhelmed by the ways of how God is shepherding our hearts during this transition time. Colorado Springs is the place that God appointed for us to be training at Mission Training International.

There are many changes happening in our lives these days!  We have sold and packed up our home in Waveland.  We have traveled to NJ and West Virginia to say tearful goodbyes to our family.  We have been sharing what we are doing with people and churches as God has given us opportunity.  Currently we are in Colorado for a missions training with about 20 other families.   It has been both an encouraging time and an overwhelming time. 

On August 5^th we will be going to the airport and saying goodbye to my parents and our lives in the USA.  We will be boarding a plane to Paraguay and starting a new chapter in our lives.  Please pray for us! We are excited to go and feel that we have been called clearly to move to Paraguay yet there is also much pain and grief as we take this step of obedience.

WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS!

-Please pray that God would speak to us clearly and that we would know what people and things to invest in.

-Please pray for safety over our family

-Please pray that our children would transition well and make some friends quickly.

-Pray that God would direct our steps in where to live (we are certain that there are neighbors who God has ordained for us to love and share the gospel with)

-Pray that we can make some good friends

-Pray that our lives would speak the Gospel clearly.

-Pray that Christian Life Church in Waveland, MS (where we have been for the last 6 years) would continue to grow and experience the Spirit of God.

-Pray that God would provide another couple/family to work with my parents in Waveland, MS.

THANK YOU FOR WALKING THIS JOURNEY WITH US! We are convinced that the Lord has put you on a team with us to make the Gospel known to lost people in Paraguay! 

Please drop us some notes, we want to know how we can be in prayer for you too! We want to hear how you are and what God is doing in your lives!

Love,

The Saavedra family
