Amigos de K’ekchi plans developed in the small Thursday afternoon, October 22 gathering at Cincinnati’s Covenant Presbyterian Church (with Richard and Debbie pictured above):
- Continuing to share information and stories – including perhaps invitations to participate in others’ mission trips
- Continuing to share information and stories – including perhaps invitations to participate in others’ mission trips
- Theological education – including scholarship support perhaps for congregational and presbytery leaders in each Amigos group’s Q’eqchi’ partners to attend a new Q’eqchi’ theological education center in Coban. Roger was willing to try to bring together the national church, the Presbyterian seminary, PC(USA) folks, the 11 Q'eqchi' presbyteries, and some Q'eqchi'-speaking theologians to help make this happen. This effort could complement/supplement whatever other theological reflection Crescent Hill folks were doing with Estoreño partners (but whatever it was it would be less than the several days a month in person Roger was advocating).
- Next Amigos gathering in 2010 in Coban (the urban-metropolitan center of Q'eqchi' culture, which Ellen had also suggested we visit some time), hopefully with some partners.
