David & Rosemarie DiTrolio

David and Rosemarie first arrived in Paraguay in 1983 for a two-year period to help plant churches.  Rose did translation work every night in the services held to start churches.  During the day, Rose worked in the office that coordinated the simultaneous planting of 15 churches.  David is a very multifaceted, talented individual so he did all kinds of things from fixing cars, equipment to videotaping the services, etc.  In 1985 their two-year term ended and they returned to the States to itinerate.  While itinerating the Lord confirmed to David that he and Rosemarie should return to Paraguay.

Upon returning to Paraguay, David continued with church planting and was on the Paraguayan Assemblies of God as a presbyter until 1994. Right before a missionary meeting the Lord again spoke to David to get ready to take over the running of the Latin America Child Care program (now called ChildHopeonline) in Paraguay. David is the General School Superintendent over five Paraguayan schools and Rosemarie is the Academic Director, plus facilitating the Sponsorship program between the students and their sponsors in the United States.  Until returning to the United States to itinerate this past June 2017 they were also pastoring Asuncion International Christian Church, which is a church for English speaking expatriates and for Paraguayans who want to learn more English.

They were in the United States visiting churches and raising much-needed support until January 2019. Since returning, they have been involved in promoting ChildHope schools in Paraguayan AG churches. Rosemarie had been working with MA Tiffany Armstrong in the development of the University Ministry CONNEXION (Chi Alpha Paraguay). They continue to pray for more laborers to help with children and university ministries in Paraguay. Please contact them if you are interested in getting more information, to sponsor a child, or becoming a part of what God is doing in Paraguay!
