God is opening doors in Paraguay.

As aXcess workers build relationships within an indigenous community, they are listening, learning, and serving first. We pray that through these connections, the hope of Jesus will be clearly seen and experienced.

Take a moment today to pray for open hearts, strong relationships, and Gospel transformation.

When many think of church planting as making physical buildings, aXcess workers see planting a church as the biblical mandate to help people follow Jesus together. How are you church planting today?

Several of our workers are affected by these fires along with their neighbors and friends. Pray for them and the church to be good examples of Christ likeness in their circumstances.

“These last few days have felt like heaven meeting hell.

Hell is self-explanatory. Fire and smoke. Suffering. Loss. It happened so fast! We didn’t know! If only we’d had more time! It felt like there was nothing that could be done to stop it.

Heaven is less obvious.

When farmers saw that the firefighters lacked water, they showed up from all over the region with their tractors and water trailers, and they helped cut firebreaks. The city has come together to house evacuees, feed them, and clothe them. Urban and rural together.

I am so proud of my adopted country.

Heaven met hell.

For a moment, a couple of days, all the noise that normally fills our society was drowned out. It’s a paradox. Our true potential is only revealed by such an existential threat.

Last night we had friends over for dinner. The food tasted better. The laughter, richer. The joy intensified by the seriousness of the situation. Maybe our lives are too safe. Maybe, in our efforts to avoid hell and discomfort at all costs we have unknowingly sacrificed something essential.

The Ukrainian refugee who lived with us checked in when the fires made the news. Naturally, we checked on her too. Her response captures perfectly someone living in a long and grueling confrontation with hell:

‘I am very scared sometimes. I even go down to the basement. But in the morning, we go on living. Now the shelling has been more intense. We pray for the war to end.’

Me too, sister. Me too. Come, Lord Jesus! We long for this war to end.”

Please join us in praying for those who have been evacuated or experienced loss due to the ongoing forest fires. Pray that the Church would be a visible witness of Christ's love and compassion during this difficult season.

What is gospel access?
It’s not just not having an established church, it’s about not having a person in their every day life who can tell them anything about Jesus.

Today’s aXcess value is: WE PARTNER
Partnership requires sacrifice, putting other’s needs before your own. But it has great benefits since no one can do this mission on their own.

Today’s aXcess value: WE PREPARE
A healthy reproducing local church is the end goal of aXcess ministry. Our workers start early investing in local leaders who can become those God develops into the servant leaders of His church.

Today’s aXcess value is WE PLANT.
All aXcess workers are involved in seeing the church planted whether it is just getting started in a people group with no existing church, or helping to shepherd a vision for cross-cultural mission in an established church.
