Mission Services

We had a great time yesterday sharing with Benton 1st and Cornerstone Nazarene.  The morning service was a mission fair as we worshiped with two of our Hispanic Churches and Benton 1st.  It was like a little slice of heaven here on earth.  The evening service was an intimate time with friends as we shared our hearts about what God is doing around the world.  We are in Arkansas one more week before we pack up what's left and head for Kansas City.  Please keep us in your prayers as we begin the heavy travel over the next two months (especially for Alex and Alyssa as then endure endless hours on the road away from their friends).

God has been providing in amazing ways as He confirms the call on our lives.  If you would like to support the ministry in South America through our family you can go to: http://web.nazarene.org/goto/carney.missions

Deputation Begins

Please pray for us this week as we start our travels across America raising funds for the ministry in Paraguay and Bolivia.  God has brought us this far and we know He will provide in amazing ways.  You can give directly to the ministry by going to:  http://web.nazarene.org/goto/carney.missions

We will be in Southern Arkansas for the first three weeks before we head to Kansas City.  The Journey has begun!!

Headed Back to South America

What a blessing to walk with the Lord on this journey called LIFE!  It passes by so quickly and we are in awe of all the Lord has done in our lives over these last couple of years.  We have been reminded on several occasions, through this time, of how temporary things in this life are and it renews the desperation and challenge in our hearts to make the most of every moment that He gives us!!  

We had the opportunity to serve in Argentina and on the border of Mexico for several years before coming to Hot Springs 1^st Church of the Nazarene where we have served on staff for the last two and half years.  In each chapter He takes us through, each one of us has grown closer in our walk with Him and we have experienced His faithfulness and sensed His presence in every circumstance.  There is nothing that brings more joy to our hearts than to see our children walking in faith!  Andrew (18), Alex (15), and Alyssa (13) don’t stop growing or eating and provide constant entertainment at all hours of the day.  They are a blessing!!  In these last few weeks we have celebrated our oldest child’s (Andrew) graduation from high school and Barry’s ordination and are looking forward to the new adventure He has placed before us as we head back to South America.  

We will be serving in the countries of Paraguay and Bolivia, but actually living in Asuncion, Paraguay.  We will be serving in many areas of need including church development, work and witness, and Jesus Film.  We are looking forward to what the Lord has in store for us and enjoy the peace and joy that comes, through times like this, when we can rest knowing that we are at the center of His perfect will for our lives.  

We cherish your prayers and support in these coming days.  Since we have just recently accepted this position and are planning to be on the field in the beginning of October, we are working double time trying to keep in step and be ready to go.  Our biggest challenge at this point is raising our initial ministry funds for a vehicle, moving expenses, and other ministry needs.  Please be in prayer that all of these details as well as the sale of our home would come together in God’s perfect way. 

We love each one of you and are grateful that the Lord has blessed us by allowing us to have you in our lives, whether it has been for special moments in time or for the long haul through thick and thin.  You are in our prayers!

Barry and Charlie Carney
