Paraguay: changing leadership

12 May 2023

Mission partner Tim Curtis asks for prayer for local partner Agustín Maidana who resigned from his role as vicar general in April. He and his wife Teresa had been suffering from a bad case of chikungunya, which causes high fever, headaches and very bad joint and muscle pain. They are now recovering and resting at their home on the outskirts of Asunción. Pastor Gustavo Flores, a frequent visitor to the Chaco with his wife Rebeca, now has legal oversight of the diocese. Please pray for pastor Gustavo Flores, his wife Rebeca and their daughter Sofía as they take on new responsibilities.
