KwaSizabantu in Paraguay
“Mision Yvypora, Nepytyvo
Renda”
 
(see more photos from
April-May 2011)
In December
2009,
KSB missionaries to Paraguay occupied their first permanent residence in that country.
Since December 2007
Herbert and Mientjie Reimer, and their family were accommodated in the capital city
Asuncion, by Herbert’s brother Rudi. Peter Siebert, the other member of the group,
stayed at Johan Wolf’s place
in Rio Verde where the cattle could be kept. They were 340 km apart but now the group is
in one place called “Mision Yvypora,
Nepytyvo Renda”, which means
“mission KwaSizabantu” in the local vernacular.
The new mission is
situated near a village called Nueva Germania, in the province of San Pedro which is part
of “East Paraguay”. (see map)
The area has a high
rainfall, rain forests and is agriculturally very productive. Agronomy, cattle farming and
now also brick making are “tent making” commercial activities they have started
with.
The mission receives
visitors who come seeking spiritual help. There are also voluteeers who come to assist.
They come from all over Paraguay and also from overseas. Church services, and also regular
broadcasts in “Plat Deutsch” from a community radio station near by, have
already yielded a harvest for the Lord. Although they are preparing to build more
accommodation, visitors they are always welcomed at the mission.
