ParaguayParaguay<p>​<span aria-hidden="true"></span>German-speaking Mennonite immigrants began settling in Paraguay in the late 1920s, with additional waves of immigration in the 1930s and 1940s.<br><br>The German General Conference, now known as <em>Vereinigung der Mennoniten-Gemeinden von Paraguay,</em> was established in 1967. Concordia, home congregation of Mission Associates C. Paul and Hildi Amstutz, is a part of this conference. They serve as spiritual caregivers with seniors at Concordia in addition to their work with business chaplaincy and spiritual retreats.<br><br>Mission Network dates the beginning of its involvement to 1954 with support for the ministries of the German conference. During the past decades, the focus is on the development of Spanish churches. The Spanish conference, <em>Convención Evangélica Menonita Paraguaya</em> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/conempar/timeline">(CONEMPAR</a>), was formed in 1990.<br><br>Support from Mennonite Mission Network helps with leadership development, evangelism, youth and women’s ministries, pastoral accompaniment, and mentoring. Some of the leadership development is done through the <em>Centro Evangélica Mennonita de Teología Asunción</em> (<a href="https://cemta.edu.py/" target="_blank">CEMTA</a>). CEMTA's theology and music departments are part of the <em><a href="https://uep.edu.py/" target="_blank">Universidad Evangélica del Paraguay</a> </em>and offer study programs that lead to a university degree approved by the government of Paraguay. <em> </em><br><br>Mennonites of German, indigenous and Spanish descent worked together in Paraguay to host the 2009 Mennonite World Conference assembly.<br></p>
