Claudio, Karina, Victoria, Mateo, Octavio, and Flavio Castellis Our Brethren Church Global Partners in Paraguay. Asunción, the capital city of Paraguay, is known as the “Mother of Cities” not only because it holds nearly onethird of the population of Paraguay, but also because it was from there that many expeditions departed to begin new cities. With such a large population, Asunción is divided into over fifty ‘barrios’ (territorial subdivisions – or neighborhoods). Asunción is known as the center of music, poetry, and the arts. Ninety-two percent of Paraguay’s population professes to be of the Catholic faith. It’s here in this densely populated city that the Castellis family works together serving “the poorest of the poor” by offering food, sewing classes, spiritual assistance, and Bible lessons. Through “La Mission”, hundreds of needy children in one barrio are fed and nourished. One day a week the children receive a meal, a Bible teaching, and a snack. Twice a week the parents of these children receive a personal visit and are offered spiritual assistance in the hopes of establishing a new church in the area. The disadvantaged women of another neighborhood are offered sewing lessons and Bible studies, along with spiritual and practical encouragement. A house that will one day be remodeled, the “Church of Hope” draws people from its neighborhood to worship God. In the “House of Our God”, Claudio preaches on Sundays. Throughout the week, povertystricken families learn that God cares for them and their needs Claudio, Karina, Victoria, Mateo, Octavio, and Flavio Castellis Our Brethren Church Global Partners in Paraguay Asunción, the capital city of Paraguay, is known as the “Mother of Cities” not only because it holds nearly onethird of the population of Paraguay, but also because it was from there that many expeditions departed to begin new cities.
