It is Sunday afternoon and the Webbs are celebrating a second strong Sunday at the church plant in Colinas de Minerva. After switching our focus totally toward children we've had good attendance in both kids and adults for two weeks. Last Sunday there were 26 people and this week 30. We're excited to see how God is bringing the adults along with the children.
Colinas de Minerva Church of the Nazarene. Pastor Daniel leading us in a Spanish Happy Birthday for these three Guatemalans. Notice Joshua in the back working the sound.
It is our hope that Pastor Daniel will have enough help within a week or two to be able to begin teaching adults while others teach the children. We have 3 strong leaders so far and are praying for more.
Aren't the kids precious. They listen attentively (most of the time) and always participate in the music and lessons. The hope of gaining a prize doesn't hurt anything!
In other news, we're just now learning of a youth leaders conference that will take place the first week of January that we believe David will be attending. Here's the catch: It's in South Africa. Not South America, but South Africa! Wow! That means we're looking into changing David's airline tickets from the US to Guatemala so that he can arrive early enough to make a flight to South Africa from Guatemala. This also means that Shelley and the kids will be moving to Costa Rica without Dad. That will be interesting. God will provide!
This week we'll not be in language school (boo-hoo, OK, that was sarcastic!) but instead we'll be working with a maximum mission team (half Americans and half Guatemalans) to plant a new church and do some construction and compassionate ministries in another area. Looking forward to the week of Spanish practice. I'm sure we'll have some good pictures for you all next week.
Until next week,
The Webbs
