A Final Look at Encuentro Indigena 2011

On Wednesday everyone was assigned a different K'ekchi' village and they traveled there to visit and be a part of the evening worship service. Some stayed overnight and others returned to Coban. Thursday as they returned, each person was given a chance to share about their experience.

K'ekchi pastors assigning people to the different churches.

Willie and Edgar, along with our pastor Victoriano and his wife, Kristy,
atteneded from Chimaltenango.  Both of the young men
were asked to preach in the evening worship service in the
churches they attended.  It was the first time for each but they
were rejoicing in the opportunity. 
It was a wonderful experience for each.
We expect to see God launch them out into the world as fulltime missionaries.

On Friday everyone was able to share personal/ ministry prayer requests and then the group as a whole prayed over them. It was an encouraging time for all.


Our group from Chimaltenango shared how God is using them to reach the Chorti in Nearer.

Pastor Victoriano shared how God began a new work in the life of the church
as they grasped the vision of what God had in store for them. 

Willie is holding a poster highlighting photos from
 the recent medical trip.

Edgar is holding a poster which details the Mission and Vision of
La Iglesia Bautista Canaan, Chimaltenango.

"Mission:  We are a church the glorifies God with
faithfulness, obedience, and commitment to the
five functions that are established in the Word of God."

"Vision:  To be a church focusing on the
proclamation, teaching, service, fellowship,
and worship of God.:

"This is my commitment."


David sharing how God is using Guatemalans as missionaries to the Ch'orti.

Each of the attendees received a diploma to commemorate their attendance.
They are always proud to receive their diplomas.

New friendships and relationships were formed which may lead to
shared working relationships in the future as they reach
Latin America for Christ.
