Latest Update

Robbie and Lauren Prater are currently in the United States for furlough after completing their first term of ministry preparation in Paraguay. During this time they have been visiting supporting churches, reconnecting with their sending church, and sharing updates about the work God is doing in Paraguay.

One of the highlights of this season was returning to their sending church, Lighthouse Baptist Church in Jackson, Georgia, where Robbie had the opportunity to preach and present their ministry. They were also encouraged to visit additional supporting churches and meet new believers who are partnering with them in prayer and support.

The Praters recently completed the final of five language tests required for their first term, marking an important milestone in their preparation for long-term ministry. After two years of study and immersion, they are thankful for the Spanish fluency God has allowed them to develop as they prepare to return to Paraguay for church planting work.

During their time in the United States, they are also trusting the Lord for opportunities to share the gospel while continuing to prepare for their next season of ministry. The couple asks for prayer for Lauren as she enters the third trimester of pregnancy.
