December 2018 Newsletter

We made the move/ transition from Chiquimula to Antigua last month.  We arrived at our new home on November 10 and have been working hard to get settled in.  We have now been here three weeks.  Overall, it was a fairly easy transition.  We are adjusting well and enjoying our new area.  We certainly have felt your prayers during this move and appreciate your praying for us. We have already been able to attend one pastors meeting where we met the pastors and leaders from the churches in this region.  We were able to formally introduce ourselves and let them know that we are here to partner with them. Continue to lift us up as we learn more about our new position, make contacts in our new area, and build relationships for future ministry.

This week David and our teammates will be attending the 2018 Indigenous Conference.  This is a yearly conference attended by indigenous pastors and leaders from all over Guatemala to enjoy training, sharing, fellowship, and worship.  This year it is being hosted in the Pokomchi area.  It will begin on Tuesday evening and end on Friday morning.  Pray for a great week for each one attending and that all will leave encouraged, refreshed, and more eager to reach their people for Christ.
