Visiting Nearar In
early February we made a trip to Chiquimula to visit our church plant
there in the mountain village of Nearar. It is always a blessing to get
to return and worship with them. David preached during the morning
service and afterwards we spent some time just catching up and
encouraging each of them.
Continue to keep the church and especially Pastor Rafael and his wife
Luz in your prayers. Pray for encouragement for them. Pray that each
member of the church would grow in their faith and share their faith
with those around them.
Intermissions Conference 2024 We attended the Intermissions Conference in Panajachel, Guatemala overlooking beautiful Lake Atitlan.
The Intermissions community is for all
English-speaking Evangelical missionaries living and working all
throughout Guatemala. The conference is an annual time for all of us to
get together for fellowship, worship, and fun.
I wrote a blog post about our weekend there. If you would like to read it and see more photos visit: Intermissions Conference.

IMB MISSIONS COLLEGE 2024 Registration is open until March 10 for this year's Missions College. It will take place April 2-5, 2024 at the IMB's International Learning Center in Virginia.
The world's biggest problem is not a natural disaster, a humanitarian crisis, or a political instability. The greatest problem in the world is spiritual lostness. There
is no problem more pressing, and no problem that should unify us more
because, in the gospel, God has given us the solution.
The International Mission Board wants to grow a deeper partnership with
you and your church in solving the world's greatest problem by providing
missions training.
IMB Missions College 2024 is a hands-on training event
for pastors, church leaders, mission trip participants, and church
members who are already going, or would like to consider going on
short-term, mid-term, or long-term mission trips with the International
Mission Board (IMB) teams.
Don't miss this opportunity to:
Connect with IMB missionaries and leaders
Learn and practice the skills you will need to effectively engage the lost in cross-cultural settings
Learn how you can deepen your church's involvement in international missions
Network with other missions leaders
Whether
you have attended a Missions College training event in the past or this
will be your first time, we would be excited for you to join us.
Registration will be closing March 10, so register soon.

Sending Celebration
Thank
you for sending missionaries and sustaining missionary presence around
the world! Because of your support, the IMB recently appointed 62
missionaries.
From
reaching Muslims through sports training in Central Asia to church
planting in Western France, our latest appointees are going to places
where Jesus is largely unknown to bring the good news.

Pray for the Kanjobal David
ended the month on an exploratory trip to the Kanjobal area. It was
about a nine hour drive from where we live. He and Gary Stone, our IMB
teammate, went together to learn more about the area.
The
Kanjobal are one of a number of Mayan people groups living in
Guatemala. They inhabit the Cuchumatan Mountains in the department of
Huehuetenango.
He will be returning in late April to assist with a medical team that
the Stones will be leading in that area. Pray for the preparations for
that team, and begin praying for the hearts of those who will be not
only getting medical assistance but also hearing the gospel.
