Paraguay: Discipleship Among Indigenous Communities

Opportunities

Indigenous communities in Paraguay have a rich cultural heritage but also face spiritual and social challenges. This ministry seeks to share the gospel in a contextualized way, respecting their identity and traditions, while training local leaders who can disciple others. We want to see indigenous healthy communities live and share the Christian faith in their own language and culture.

Training Provided

Language study will be provided on the field.

Location

Paraguay

Length of Service
  • Short-term: 1-12 months
  • Long-term: two or more years
Ministry Description

Paraguay has an established national church but is in need of workers who will move into new, unreached areas to plant churches. These missionaries will work alongside national leaders, learning from and encouraging one other.

Quick Facts
  • Roman Catholicism is the official religion, followed by Mennonitism and Protestantism. Paraguay has one of the smallest percentages (3 to 4 percent) of evangelical Christians among South American countries.
  • Guarani is an indigenous tongue unique to Paraguay. Spanish is spoken in business and in formal settings, but Guarani is spoken in the homes of nearly everyone. Guarani is also the name of the country’s currency.  
  • As much a social tradition as a preferred drink, tereré (when the weather is hot) or mate (when temperatures are cool) are herb drinks sipped through a metal pipe with a filter on the end. The drink is passed from one person to the next with each person freely drinking from the same pipe.
