It's hard to believe but in just over three weeks, 12 of our CHPC members will be headed to Guatemala to represent all of us in furthering our partnership with the Estoreño Presbytery and hopefully crafting a new covenant plan to guide our future interactions. Our dear friend, Ellen Dozier, former mission co-worker there, will be meeting us in Guatemala. This Sunday, June 17 is the last scheduled time that we are asking you to make a commitment to support this mission trip. Here are specific ways that you can help:
-Bless a woman from one of the 11 churches with a Bible in her native Q'eqhchi' language. These cost $10 each and we are hoping to provide 110 of them. So far, we have received gifts to cover 38 Bibles
-- We also want you to write your name legibly on a label that will be affixed to the bible to initiate a connection between you and her.
-Check your drawers, car, desk etc. and see if you have any extra reading glasses or magnifying glasses that you'd be willing to give us to take to Guatemala to some of the women who need a little help reading their Bibles!
-Provide an extra gift to support the ministries of the Estoreño Presbytery. These gifts will be used at the discretion of their leadership either for laminas to create a roof for their newest church in Panzos or for transportation and food to nurture pastors and elders who will be attending theological training sessions soon to be offered by the presbytery.
-Provide transportation for those traveling. Pick up team members at CHPC on Sat., July 7 at 4:30 am (yes, we know it's terribly early) and take them to the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky Airport OR pick them up for a return to Louisville on Sun., July 15 at 5 pm.
-And lastly, but so critically, be a prayer partner for one of the mission team members. Write two notes which will be shared with her or him during the trip and pray each day of the trip for your partner. The notes will need to be brought to church by Sun., July 1, the day the team will be commissioned for their mission.
