Encuentro Indigena 2011

We had asked you to pray for the Encuentro Indigena 2011 and we saw God broaden the vision for reaching Central America.  It was exciting to see hearts stirred and new visions given. 

The K'etki leadership had prepared well to receive the brothers

attending from Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras.

 
 

In small groups, many were beginning to express,

"Yes, their 'Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the utermost parts of the world'

was further than their family, their neighborhood, their town, their department."

After missionary Ron Carothers shared of the need for Christ in the Muslim world,

prayer time included praying in like manner

- open ears, open hands, to the right, to the left, bowed knees, and prostrate.

                     The evening service was attended by many from nearby churches

                                           and was a wonderful worship service.

Music included marimba bands from several K'etki churches.

 Following regular practice in K'etki churches, representatives from each attending group gave greetings. This is the pastor from the attending church in San Marcos,

far in the west of the country.

Pastor Jeronimo, for whom many of you have prayed for his release from jail,

gave greetings from his church in the west and praised the Lord for his release.

Greetings from the brothers from Mexico - a two day ride by bus.

Nahum, our pastor friend from Honduras, gave greetings for himself, his oldest son,

 and another pastor who attended from Copan Ruinas, Honduras.

The highlight of the evening was the challenging sermon from Richard Greenwood,

 retired missionary who had invested 33 years among the K'etki. 

He preached in Spanish and a brother translated in K'etki. 

At times, it was very difficult for Dick, he slipped into K'etki

 and the brother had to translate into Spanish.

Pastor Jeronimo giving his thanks to all of you

who prayed for him and his family during his imprisonment.
