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. Read the Full Update
