Evening Outreach

It has been a few days since we have posted. Sorry about that. It has been very busy here with going to the Home on Thursday and having the Warren's here as well as the normal clinic etc. We did want to tell you about a couple evening activities that have taken place in the last week.

Last Friday night, the Fickers hosted the Christian Businessmen's Organization. They want to start meeting in this area and asked Duane to be the chairman. We served about 40 meals including a dozen North Americans. Duane counted about 14 men from Canilla who came but would never step foot into a church. We pray that this meeting impacted them and their businesses. There were many testimonies given including Greg Warren with Aaron Ficker translating. They plan on continuing the meetings on a monthly basis.

These are a couple of the leaders of the organization giving the presentation. The one on the left is from San Andres. The other man lives in Guatemala City but owns a large finca in the Zona Reina. Duane was introduced to him because of their airplane/clinic outreach to that area.

Here is Duane with the Guatemalas who organized the evening.


Last night, Craig and Marty Bontrager served at a church, Iglesia El Calvario (Calvary Church) in San Andres. They have been serving there consistently since we had the Pastor's Conference here in early January. The pastor, Joel, usually leads all of worship and gives the sermon. Craig took over for him with the worship a couple times during the evening so the pastor could minister and pray over his congregation. The Fickers, Warrens and our family all attended last night. Here is a picture of Craig leading worship.

This is Marty playing the drums.
