Radio Recordings

On Friday David helped do another recording for the "Institute of the Air".  We are beginning our fourth year to help with this project.  This recording was held in the village of Jordan.  In the past we always held them at our place in Coban.  Where we are living now is too noisy to do a recording so we decided to do it in the village of one of the K'ekchi' brothers.  (Let me just quickly explain that all of the male K'ekchi' believers are called "brothers".  In Spanish we call them all hermanos.  All of the women are called "sisters", hermanas.)  So when I write something like "K'ekchi' brothers" you will know it is just cultural.  Anyway, they met on Friday and recorded twelve stories on the life of Jesus.  David is now editing those stories and will burn them to CD's soon and get them out to five different radio stations to begin airing.  Please pray God's anointing on this series of stories and for wisdom in deciding what and when to record next.

A New Recording on Discipleship

Monday we held another recording session for the Institute of the Air. The focus of this new study is on discipleship. We recorded 12 new stories that will soon begin airing on K'ekchi' radio stations. The study was taken from a booklet that was written many years ago by our supervisor- Jim McGriff. David is currently editing the stories and getting them ready to put on discs. We will then get them out to the stations. Please pray for God's annointing on this ministry.

Radio Recording Session

Abilino, Adilio, David, & Manuel

On Monday we held a recording session for the Institute of the Air. This is a radio Bible program that airs on K'ekchi' radio stations. These K'ekchi' brothers decide the study topics, write the studies, and then we help get them recorded and put on CD's for the stations to air. They spent about 5 hours yesterday recording and got twelve 20 min. stories recorded. The title of this study is "The Christian Family". David's job now is to edit the stories, put them on CD's, and get them out. Pray for these sessions as they begin to be aired that God would use them to strengthen many K'ekchi' homes and families!

The Enemy God

Today we were honored to assist Miss Fran with some recording on a movie project that she translated. The name of the movie is "The Enemy God". The actors in the movie are K'ekchi' and a lot of the language is as well. The movie is about an indigenous people group in Venezuela and how they came to know God. She was asked to record some introductory dialog to use when the movie is played here. She had her helper, Rick, do the reading, and we did the recording. We have not seen the movie but are looking forward to seeing it soon. To see a trailer and learn more about the movie, visit: www.enemygod.com

Thanks for praying for our recording time. It went well. Now you can pray for David as he has the task of editing it and getting it sent in.

K'ekchi' Radio Meeting

This morning we had a meeting with some of the leaders from the radio stations. The purpose of the meeting was to make plans for 2009 which include study topics and recording session times for the "Institute of the Air". This is a radio program that airs Bible stories and studies. These men write the studies, record them, and then air them on local radio stations. We help out with the recording and editing. Please pray for this outreach to continue and strengthen in this new year.
