GMC Flags of the Nations: Paraguay
Wednesday, March 13, 2013
Global Ministry Center
Since September 1, 2009, the Church of the Nazarene's Global Ministry Center (GMC) proudly flies a flag each week of one of the many nations in which the denomination is present in ministry. Leaders were invited to send a national flag to be flown at the GMC alongside the flag of the United States*. The national flags rotate weekly, and photos of them raised are sent to the church leaders of that country.
This week: Paraguay
The Church of the Nazarene officially entered Paraguay in 1980.
Paraguay had a population of 6,541,591 in 2012. That same year, Paraguay reported 28 Churches of the Nazarene, 26 of which had been officially organized. Paraguay has 656 total members.
Paraguay has three Phase 1 districts. It is a part of the South America Region. For more information, visit samnaz.org.
Previous flags featured:
NOTE: Some countries cannot be represented in this project in order to maintain security of those working there.
* = The weekly highlighted flag is raised on the middle of three poles in compliance with U.S. government protocols. It flies to the left of the GMC host-nation United States flag, which flies above the host-state flag of Kansas. The Christian flag flies on the third pole.
The Global Ministry Center is the mission and service hub of the Church of the Nazarene.
