Community Description

Villa Primavera is a Bruderhof community house located in the capital city of Paraguay, Asunción. Founded in 2010, Villa Primavera is home to about fifteen people. As part of our mission here, we recently built Casa de Cristo, a church building with a large meeting room. Situated on one corner of our property, the church is open to the public for Sunday worship services and other events.</p>

<p>We are convinced that a life in church community is the greatest service we can offer humanity and the best way we can proclaim Christ. To be part of the Bruderhof movement is not a lifestyle choice. It is an answer to Jesus’ insistent call to humankind as expressed in the Gospels, especially the Sermon on the Mount. While we follow the communal traditions of the early church, we believe our way of life is a compelling answer to the problems of contemporary society, with its emphasis on wealth and self and its resulting isolation, conflict, and inequality.</p>

<p>Through community, we have experienced Christ’s transforming love. He makes the impossible possible: for ordinary and flawed men and women to live together in forgiveness and mutual trust, as brothers and sisters. It is his Spirit that calls Bruderhof members to a life of love where work, worship, mission, education, and family life are brought together into a single whole.
