In June the 2010 Crescent Hill Guatemala mission team drew up a list of commitments that we pledged the church would implement, pending governing body approval. (One form that pledge took was pasting a commitments text on the partnership banner and signing this (pictured above).) Earlier this month the Crescent Hill Outreach Council approved these commitments and recommended to session members that they approve the commitments. Last night session approved them. Session members asked a couple of questions about follow-up travel, including possible travel by some of the Guatemalan partners to Louisville and the United States.
The Estoreño Presbytery mission team was also slated to take their compromiso back to the presbytery executive committee members for their consideration and possible approval. We are in the midst of translating our commitments and we will e-mail what we have, in Spanish, for their commitments and ours, and find out how that matches up with what they have and find out what action if any the presbytery executive committee has taken.
Also being translated is the packet of information and proposals, which they gave us in Spanish. We are also to prepare (eventually) in Spanish such an information packet for the Guatemalans.
