February, 2010
Greetings from sunny Paraguay! February
has been a particularly hot month this
year, but we’ve 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 we
did not know had liens on it. Please keep the resolution of these issues in your prayers. Being without our own vehicle has hampered our
normal ministry schedule a bit, and we look forward to getting the mission-mobile back again. This month, we also wish a happy birthday to
Saúl, a vital member of the Tapé 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. We’ll be there for all of October and November, 2010. We
would love to reconnect with you to share what has been happening and the vision for continued ministry here.

Scenes from La Hora Feliz (“Happy Hour”)

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! LEFT: Hollie and Caroline place the
(PS-THANKS!) flannelgraph images while Camille reads
the story; ABOVE: Hollie is hiding in
this group of kids, who just finished their
coloring pages. Can you find her?

A Vigilia, a Campaña, and Some Kepis

This month we attended both a vigilia and a campaña. What are those? Well, a campaña is what we’d call a
revival. It took place on a soccer field beside a playground, in a neighborhood here in Carapeguá, for three nights.
The campaña 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). Caroline’s fish hat, Camille’s
multicolored cowboy hat, and Ken’s foam pig head all brought home prizes!)
 Upcoming Seminars
The 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
God’s 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 the
areas we’ll 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 Study

We continue learning about how God’s 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 don’t 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 Caroline’s room, where there is an air conditioner, to giggle and talk a while.

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 God’s lead in Paraguay. You are a part of every
work we do for the Kingdom, and we’re thrilled to be your partners in
God’s plan for this country.

---Ken, Christie, Camille, and Caroline
