Paraguay
Site of next world assembly
The next Mennonite World Conference Assembly will be held July 14-19, 2009,
in Asunción, Paraguay.
Allow Menno Travel Service to arrange your travel plans to the 2009 World Assembly.
This grand gathering will have many parts - Assembly Gathered, Assembly Scattered,
the Global Youth Summit, the Global Church Village, tours, special activities
for children and youth, and meetings of the MWC General Council and MWC
Commissions.
The daily activities of Assembly Gathered will be held in the Centro Familiar de
Adoración, a Pentecostal facility built to accommodate 10,000 persons. Each day will
include worship, songs from around the world, prayer, Bible study, eating together,
playing and visiting. Assembly Scattered will provide opportunity for persons going
to and returning from Assembly Gathered to be hosted by church communities in
Latin America and the Caribbean.
During its recent meeting, the MWC Executive Committee decided that the
assembly theme will combine the calls to unity and service, with Philippians 2:1-11
serving as the basic text.
Menno Travel at Your Service
Making Travel arrangements early will give you more options and perhaps lower cost for international
travel and lodging. Consider arriving and departing on days other than those immediately
preceding and immediately following Assembly Gathered to avoid travel congestion,
especially air travel.
Getting a visa from Paraguay, especially from some countries in Africa and Asia,
may be a challenge since Paraguay has few embassies. Menno Travel Service can assist with any of the following services:
- Visa and Passport applications
- MWC Registration
- Air Travel
- Accommodations
- Currency Exchange
- Group Arrangements
- Explore Paraguay with a Land Excursion
