Chisec Missions

Many Kekchi villages are nestled in hills

with the only access to them by a foot path.

We walk for an hour or more on paths to different villages.

As people move into the mountains regions,

many trees are cut to provide space for planting corn

which is their primary source of food.

At our destination we listened to Pastor Crisanto

as he shared about his life and the church work.

The women were busy in the kitchen preparing our meal.

What a relaxed spot for the little one while his mother was busy!

During the evening service, the children shared memorized

Bible texts and sang for the congregation.

In the morning a mist hung over the valley.

The view from one mountain top to another portrays

the grandeur of God’s creation.

Phyllis’ washed up using the drips of rain falling from the roof.

  We started out in the rain to walk to another village

for the Sunday morning service.

This new mission was located in a neighboring village.

The church in this community was started very recently 

and the new believers needed our encouragement.

A growing new leader led the service.

The trail was slick from the slippery mud 

as we returned to the car.

Pray that God would strengthen the new believers.
