Greetings Ministry Partners,
One of the things that encourages me most in ministry is seeing graduates begin teaching others. That is what we are preparing for in Honduras, where pastors who graduated in El Progreso in March plan to begin a new class in southern Honduras this December. Pastor Hamid will travel from Guatemala to help them teach the first book. I am thankful to see these men taking what they have learned and preparing to share it with others in their own country.
In Guatemala, classes are meeting in most regions. Pastors Otto and Hamid continue teaching and supporting the other teachers as we look for opportunities in areas where we don't yet have classes. Hamid is teaching several classes in Quetzaltenango and Huehuetenango, while Otto oversees the work and helps him prepare for Honduras. Charlotte keeps the office running, handling books, records, and finances. I am grateful for the work each of them does to keep the training moving forward.
Joby Cheesman and I plan to be in Guatemala November 2-9. We hope to spend time with most, if not all, of our teachers and meet with a couple of pastors who are interested in starting classes in their communities. I look forward to hearing from these men, encouraging them, and talking through how we can help them in their teaching.
In Bella Vista, Belize, Pastor Joel Cohuoj continues teaching classes while working to plant five churches. He and his family serve in an area where witchcraft and pagan religious practices have long been prevalent. I thank the Lord for their faithfulness as they teach God’s Word and share the gospel.
I have also been communicating with a new contact in Costa Rica and hope to arrange a Zoom meeting soon. I am asking the Lord to guide that conversation and help us find the right person to begin training leaders there.
Thank you for giving to this ministry and remembering us in prayer. Your support helps us continue training pastors and ministry leaders across Central America. Thank you for sharing in this work.
