Children of Promise Mourns the Death of COP Leader/Founder in Paraguay
It is with deep sadness that Children of Promise continues to grieve and share the news of a tragic accident involving the Kurrle family, missionaries to Paraguay. In the early morning of April 18, Julie Kurrle, missionary, and their son, Timmy, were killed in an automobile accident in Paraguay.
Julie initiated, developed, and directed the Children of Promise sponsorship program in Paraguay from 2004 – 2010. Her heart for the children of Paraguay compelled her to work tirelessly on behalf of those in need. She was affectionately and respectfully loved by the sponsored children and their families and the congregations in which she worked. Julie was instrumental in selecting and training the present director of the sponsorship program, Sandra Greve.
Please join us in prayer for Norberto, Anahi, and the Beam and Kurrle families; the Church of God in Paraguay; and the children and families of Children of Promise Paraguay. The Church of God has lost an outstanding church stateswoman, pastor, and missionary, as well as a vibrant young boy. Burial services were held in Obligado, Paraguay, on April 19. more...
