Frank Reddy wrote a great story about Ben’s trip to Paraguay and we thought you might like to read it:
A missionary from Dawson County has returned from his trip to Paraguay, where he was able to connect the lives of young people living a world apart.
Rivers of the World Founder Ben Mathes set out for Ciudad Del Este, Paraguay on Oct. 10 with a suitcase full of supplies for the students there.
Many of the items came from students in a Lawrenceville Christian school — Strong Wall Academy — interested in “building a bridge of understanding” with the foreign students.
Mathes arrived home last week and shared his journey.
One of the most remarkable things, Mathes said, was introducing the students to each other using a live Internet feed.
