Not Only Numbers
Seventeen lives committed to the Lord
It could have been 18 or 16, many more, or many less; but it was 17 new heirs and joint-heirs with Christ we had the joy to harvest during the week of joint mission at the CHE Village of El Coronado in Guatemala last March. The Water Team from Deer Creek Church from Littleton Colorado, our Three decades unconditional partners led by Kirk & Gloria Douglas, taught VBS to the CHE Children while drilling for a water well. The well was completed and now see see the villagers getting water for a first time in 22 years, after having to haul water from the nearest river at 3 kilometers away.
Medical-Dental Health Clinic
Then in March also, the CHE Villages of El Suj and Chirramos were blessed to run the Medical-Dental Health Fair (clinic) along with the Mission Team from First Baptist Church from Pine, Arizona. As Commanded, the Good News were also delivered to the patients who come seeking solution to their physical illnesses. Pastor Mike Ward & Barb came leading this partner team as a last time due to retirement. They have partnered with us unconditionally also for 3 decades.
Work in April
In April we hosted Pastor Mary Scott and Jairo & Ofelia Gomez from Grace Way Church in California who came to explore CHE Villages for possible partnership with GCE/ASODECS in Guatemala.
In April, we also began to train an Interdenominational Association “Accion Social” with Wholistic Ministry in other part of the Quiche speaking people. They have been serving relief for years and now they want to reach more in Jesus model with CHE for Development and Transformation.
