The national Guatemalan evangelical Presbyterian church (IENPG) met last week in its equivalent of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) General Assembly, and several folks from the Estoreño Presbytery probably participated. A PC(USA) World Mission staffer was to deliver to any one of the Estoreño folks at that meeting prints of some of the photos that Crescent Hill spring 2009 mission trip participants took during the trip in March.
After worship on two Sundays in May several dozen Crescent Hill folks wrote greetings and messages to our Estoreño partners, on a large piece of paper and on Friendship Register sheets. Ada and Stephen have agreed to translate these into Spanish (the ones that need translating – probably doing some summarizing too), and then Ellen will e-mail these greetings to Estoreño folks.
Carlos has also distilled some of the ideas about Acts 2 that came out of the bilingual Sunday school class this month (see "Ideas de Carlos y la clase bilingue"), which Ellen may forward to Estoreño folks also.
Meanwhile, back in Louisville, folks interested in the Crescent Hill-Estoreño mission partnership will gather at 9:30 a.m., this Saturday, June 6, at Nancy’s Bagels at 2101 Frankfort Avenue.
Pray this week for the folks in your Guatemala photo, for Pastor José Domingo and the Espiritu Santo church, for the political situation in Guatemala and relief and development for earthquake-struck areas of Central America in general and Izabal in particular, for the leaders of the Guatemalan evangelical Presbyterian church trying to implement decisions made at last week’s meeting, for Jeff and Soila and their efforts to move to the United States, for Estoreño Presbytery leaders completing their study of Acts 2, and for wisdom, patience, and perseverance for all of us as we try to discern God’s will for the shape the partnership will take during the rest of 2009.
Congratulations to 2007 mission trip participants Andrea, Gabe, Luke, Natalie, and Rachel, who all graduate from high school this week, and traveling mercies to Pastor Jane and D.C. mission trip participants traveling to the Middle East and the mid-Atlantic later this month.
