Greater needs

I'm going to say really straight what Rincon needs the most! As I said earlier, money and supplies are not the most necessary thing, it's PEOPLE! What kind of people they need now:
1) An active, quick, creative and hard working woman who could be responsible for kitchen work (Velta is currently doing it).
2) A married couple who'd live in boys' dorms and keep an eye on them, give them their daily chores, lead devotionals (Pastor Samuel and his wife are currently doing it).
3) A capable, active, strict but also very kind and friendly sister who'd take care of girls' dorms - give them signals when to get up, go to school, do chores, someone who'd assign chores to girls and lead evening devotionals, check the tidiness of rooms, help with their homework etc... (Velta is currrently doing it).
4) A pastor who'd take care of spiritual needs. Pastor Samuel is doing it currently, but since he is also a teacher and he's looking after the boy's dorms and managing the whole mission... he has very little time to take care of spiritual needs. Several Brazilians visited Rincon the other day, a wonderful pastor Luiz with his wife among them, we hope they will live here. They are thinking about it... let's pray they really do it!
5) A person who'd be responsible for Sundayschool work. Pastor's wife would be great for this position. Pastor Luiz was here with his wife who'd be great with children. May God let them return here for a longer period of time. They also speak Spanish which is really good!
6) A person who'd faithfully take care of all the livestock. When brother Fernando worked here everything was good. Now local Ayoreos are taking care of the livestock, and they often forget about their duties, they take a nap or go fishing, but they always remember to pick up their salary on Saturday. Since livestock is very important here, they need someone who could look after them, manage and take care of them.
7) A woman who'd be responsible for laundry room. I don't know if there's another name for that house - it's a place where they do laundry, sow, repair and iron. They also need a faithful and hard working person in charge of that (Velta is currently doing it).

Those would be the biggest available positions. Of course they have some smaller positions available, too. But if there was someone who'd take care of these greater needs, they'd have time to do the little tasks as well - like all the missionaries are doing here already. My dear Latvians, Americans, Brazilians and all others - maybe you know someone who'd like to take some of these great, important responsibilities which are of great value? Maybe some of you can come and help here yourselves? ;) May God be with this message and let it be read by the right people at the right time. The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few... all these responsibilities ensure the existence of this mission, church and school, hundreds and hundreds of children have heard about God and the greatest gift of all time - His Son here... this work has to continue! May God let it happen!
