MISSION TEAMS
During October we hosted a volunteer team from First Baptist Church,
Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. They spent the week in the Chiquimula
area sharing and preaching in three services, making home visits, doing
evangelism, and encouraging the believers in that area.
This church partnered with us continuously throughout our years of
living in that area. They had a great part in the advancement of the
work, especially in the Nearar and Muyurco areas. It was good to take
them back to see the growth and also to encourage them and their church
to continue praying.
Would you continue praying also for the Chorti work? Pray for the
believers to stay strong in their faith and be bold in sharing the
Gospel with their neighbors.
Our team from FBC Mt. Pleasant, SC
Our next team will arrive on Saturday,
November 5. We'll be hosting a group from Flat Creek Baptist Church in
Fayetteville, Georgia. Our very first mission team to host in Guatemala
was from this church back in March 2007. They have been special to us
ever since.
David will be taking them to the Chiquimula area to do a VBS in a local
school. It will be a group of sixteen. Pray for them as they prepare to
come. Pray for us as we make final preparations to host them. Pray for
good health while here. Pray for safety of travel throughout the
week. Most of all, pray for clear presentations of the gospel and that
many children and their parents will give their lives to Christ.
NEW MISSIONARY
In early October we welcomed the newest member to our IMB Guatemala
mission family. Lauren Nichols arrived as a two year journeyman to
serve in the Quetzaltenango area alongside career missionaries Gary and
Lily Stone. Pray for Lauren as she continues to adjust to life here and
does language study. Pray that God would use her greatly over the next
two years to advance the gospel in that part of Guatemala.
The IMB offers multiple avenues for young adults to serve on the mission
field. These include 1-3 week mission trips, being a summer
missionary, the Hands On semester program, or the two year journeyman
program. Visit: www.imb.org/students to learn more.
PERSECUTED CHURCH
The Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church is Sunday, November 6. This
will be an opportunity for individuals and churches across the Southern
Baptist Convention to unite in prayer for our brothers and sisters
around the world who are persecuted for their faith. When we pray for
persecuted believers, God uses their witness to inspire gospel
transformation among the lost.
Will you join us in praying? Visit www.imb.org/persecuted for resources and more information.
