Bible Institute in Chiapas update
Thank God for the Chiapas trip we recently made. Pastor Jose Lopez has worked so much during our absence. He is well committed and convinced the need of such educational ministry for his churches. We lift up their effort to God.
We did spend a week with the students who had gone on for youth retreat following the Institute. 15 students studied with whole heart. Some of them participated with great interest. Cristina Gomez was there to the last hour of the course carrying a little boy. She had been shy speaking in Spanish (for its her second language) but her love to the Word made her overcome such obstacle. Fraciasco Pañate was an outstanding student. He once was a member of Zapatista movement in Chiapas but now he fights for Christ's sake. He brought his two younger brothers to koin the study.
In the picture... A group of deacons and their wives timely served us with delicious meal and bucketful of coffee. We blessed them at the end of the week. Pascual Perez, 71, (2nd left front row) has served the church for 25 years as a deacon. Praise the Lord for his service.
