This past Sunday we met the couple – Brian and Sandi Thompson-Royer – originally from the Spokane area of Inland Northwest Presbytery – who will be taking Amanda’s, and before that Ellen’s, place as Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) liaison to the Guatemalan national Presbyterian church’s Presbyterian Women organization. They’ll be heading to language school and then to the mission field in Guatemala this summer. Sandy has been to El Estor in connection with her anti-domestic violence work with CEDEPCA. In Guatemala, Brian and Sandy will be working with their former Inland Northwest colleagues Richard and Debbie, who will be working in indigenous education issues, as well as with Amanda, who will now be PC(USA) regional liaison for Guatemala, Mexico, and border ministries. Apparently Omar, Amanda’s husband, will now be heading up border ministries, and they and their family will live in El Paso, Texas.
In related
news, Ellen is stepping down from her volunteer position as the Guatemala
mission partnership facilitator for the Western North Carolina. Ellen lives in Brevard, North Carolina.
