Overview
CONEMPAR has been operating as an independent conference since 1990. It has roots with both German churches in Paraguay and the Mission Network. Objectives listed in CONEMPAR’s Manual of Faith and Procedures include proclaiming the gospel of salvation, initiating mission work, promoting fraternal relationships, spreading values and principles of faith, and creating entities of service and education. Some members are involved in a unique ministry of business chaplaincy.
History
Mission Network predecessor agency Commission on Overseas Mission sent personnel to support earlier stages of church development. Currently, a Mission Network grant supports CONEMPAR in its leadership training to prepare pastors, Sunday school teachers, and youth for further service. Women’s retreats provide an opportunity for mutual support and encouragement.
