Gospel Seminar in Chuguexa

The other day when we had clinic in Chuguexa, there was some serious preparation going on the the three days of meeting that the church was going to have.  Today, we saw it in action and it was a wonderful day!!

All of the local Churches of Christs were invited to attend.  Today, was our usual day of classes for the promoters so we cancelled our class.  During lunch, Tomas and Gaspar estimated that there were 800 people in attendance.

In the morning, there were two speakers and the topic was on doctrine.  A responsibility that we have, and a very serious one, is to only teach the Bible.  There are a lot of ideas and thoughts that are not Bible-based.  We have a responsibility to teach and only stand for truth but to do it with love and compassion.

Most of the activity was going on inside but not everyone could comfortably fit inside.

People had set up stands to sell fruits, flavored ice, drinks, chips, ice cream and snacks.

This is the kitchen area with people in line for food.  For breakfast, they served boiled eggs, beans, tamalitos and coffee.  For lunch, soup was served with tamalitos.

This is a group of ladies from the Paxot II area.

Kemmel made a few contacts through the day.  We found two areas that might be areas for future clinics. This is the daughter of one of the ministers, who is interested in a clinic in his community.

In the afternoon, the lesson was on the crisis of the offering. The speaker was very energetic and had some excellent thoughts.

It was a good day and everyone enjoyed our time together.  There is nothing like Guatemalan singing........it was a blessing to be able to participate in the day.
