Communities where Christ is least known
Communities where Christ is least known
Rural subsistence farmers Because farmers and their families live in dispersed and isolated communities, preferring to learn by listening rather than reading, church planting efforts amongst them has been a challenge. SIM is meeting this challenge, placing church planters in these small communities to develop relationships and give people a picture of Christ that they have never known. Using oral methods, they evangelise and train leaders to know and teach the Word, regardless of the leader’s level of literacy.
People Living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA)
Paraguay is not known as a country with a high rate of HIV. However, those who have worked many years with PLWHAs in Paraguay have seen a tremendous increase of new cases, mostly among the poor. SIM Paraguay is forming partnerships with other organisations in order to reach those living with HIV and AIDS.
Indigenous communities
With a combined population of more than 90,000, the 19 indigenous communities of Paraguay are in need of Bible translations and recordings. SIM is partnering with German Pioneer Mission, New Tribes Mission, Latinos en Traducción y Alfabetización (LETRA), and others to provide the recorded Scriptures and other Bible-related materials in the heart language of each of these groups.
