Guatemala, March 2012

The work accomplished in Guatemala was beyond expectations.
The brief summary is visits to six local churches for studies, preaching and teaching; visits and studies with several different groups of brothers and sisters; individual studies to answer Bible questions and strengthen and train leaders and potential leaders; a visit to Health Talents clinic in Chichicastenango/Lemoa; a one-day seminar taught in a preacher training program; a three-day seminar for leaders and workers in Chichicastenango where there were about 25 present each day from about 20 different congregations. The total is somewhere beyond 50 hours of preaching and teaching, not including informal visits and studies. The four days of seminars alone total almost 700 student-hours of instruction.
We were blessed to meet many brothers and sisters we had not previously known, to renew friendships and acquaintances in Christ, and to learn more about the state of the churches in various sectors of Guatemala.
