Scripture and message

The centerpiece of the short message that Pastor Jane delivered at each of eight churches most of the team visited (not counting Arca de Noe, which got the full-blown sermon) - billed as a scripture reading was following scripture from Paul's first letter to the Philippians:   I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you,  because of your sharing in the gospel from the first day until now.  I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ.

Jane said that this prayer of Paul for the Philippians encapsulated how CHPC folks feel about friends in the Estore o Presbytery.  Jane stressed how much CHPC folks have been inspired by and learned Guatemalan brothers and sisters, including such areas as fasting and prayer life and evangelism and outreach.  She said visits, both ways, are important part of extending this, and she hoped they might have learned something from CHPC folks too.
