Eighteen Years — and Praying for Twenty More

Dear praying friends,

This month marks a milestone that leaves us amazed at God's kindness: eighteen years in Uruguay. Paul also just turned fifty — and rather than slowing down, we find ourselves praying for roughly twenty more years of service. There is so much still to do.

When we arrived, Sunday church attendance was culturally foreign here. The work grew the only way it could: around kitchen tables, over shared mate, in living rooms where secular Uruguayans felt free to ask honest questions. From those living rooms God built a congregation — and then gave that congregation a building in the heart of downtown Durazno.

Now we are asking Him for co-laborers. After eighteen years, we are praying earnestly for another couple or missionary — Uruguayan or American — to join this work and help it reproduce in the towns of the interior where there is no gospel witness at all.

Would you make that your prayer too?

With full hearts, Paul & Jo Anna Harmon
