    1/2

    February, 2010

    Greetings from sunny Paraguay! February

    has been a particularly hot month thisyear, but weve been enjoying all the photos of the snow in the United States. This month we have learned a lot about the public transportation

    system (the buses) and walking around town, as our truck is still in the shop. We also continue the legal battle concerning the title, which wedid not know had liens on it. Please keep the resolution of these issues in your prayers. Being without our own vehicle has hampered ournormal ministry schedule a bit, and we look forward to getting the mission-mobile back again. This month, we also wish a happy birthday to

    Sal, a vital member of the Tap Missions team. He is practically a member of the Hagerman family now, having lived with us for the better

    part of a year.On another note, we have finalized our dates for the visit to the US later this year. Well be there for all of October and N ovember, 2010. We

    would love to reconnect with you to share what has been happening and the vision for continued ministry here.

    A Vigilia, a Campaa, and Some KepisThis month we attended both a vigilia and a campaa. What are those? Well, a campaais what wed call a

    revival. It took place on a soccer field beside a playground, in a neighborhood here in Carapegu, for three nights.

    The campaa was geared toward attracting the families of the neighborhood, to

    come out and hear the Word of God preached. Many children came to hear the

    music, stayed for the message, and responded in the altar time. A vigilia is

    technically a vigil, which is an all-night service of prayer, teaching, preaching, and

    music. The vigilia was a time of refreshing and refocusing for the church family.

    We also attended a community-wide Christian concert/event that included a hat

    contest, called Night of the Ballcaps (Noche de Kepis). Carolines fish hat, Camilles

    multicolored cowboy hat, and Kens foam pig head all brought home prizes!)

    Sunday mornings are an energetic

    time, as the neighborhood children

    gather in our front room for Bible

    stories, coloring pages, and

    refreshments. The recently

    donated flannelgraph set was a big

    hit this month!

    (PS-THANKS!)

    coloring pages. Can you find her?

    As always, we pray you are continually blessed, as you have blessed us and

    those here we minister to. We appreciate so much your encouragement

    and support as we follow Gods lead in Paraguay. You are a part of every

    work we do for the Kingdom, and were thrilled to be your partners in

    Gods plan for this country.

    ---Ken, Christie, Camille, and Caroline

    Upcoming SeminarsThe past several months, we have been working with Dr. J. Gordon Henry

    (www.jgordonhenryministries.org) to plan a series of Prayer Seminars for the

    countries of Paraguay and Uruguay. Dr. Henry is in his 30th year of presenting

    these seminars, and he travels all over the world to do so. We are honored to be

    hosting him here and accompanying him to Uruguay. The theme is A Day in

    Gods Courts, and the seminar deals with basic instruction on developing a

    prayer life. We feel this information will be very useful to the believers in theareas well be presenting the seminars. They will take place the last two weeks of

    March, and your prayers for the travel, the seminars, the attendees, the

    translators, and the presenter are all very much appreciated.

    Young Ladies Bible StudyWe continue learning about how Gods truth from the Word can dispel the lies the enemy tries to

    tell us, and how we should live according to the truth rather than these lies. Most of these teen and

    young adult girls work and study full time, so they dont have much opportunity to just hang out.

    A batch of brownies and some homemade punch always gives us the chance to share Godly

    fellowship and mentoring time with these young ladies after the study. This past week we all

    escaped to Camille and Carolines room, where there is an air conditioner, to giggle and talk a while.

    God bless you!
