The English Update

A few weeks back, our family took a quick trip to Ixchiguan to visit a small group of pastors and church leaders working far from where we live in Xela. This was also our last chance to travel with the Stones, Gary and Lily, before they head to the States for retirement. We were so glad to have one more time out together! We even crammed all seven of us into their car so we had extra time to talk on the way there and back. At the meeting, we were able to share a little more about ourselves and our desire to partner with their churches to spread the gospel.

These pastors come from many different indigenous towns all around Ixchiguan (some from very far away). This is actually a group the Stones have been working with for years. They come together throughout the year to learn from one another, share praises and prayer requests about their churches, and to be encouraged in the work! We hope to attend a handful of these meetings each year.

The next time Rachel and I will meet with this group will be near the end of June. Please pray we are able to share needed encouragement and that they leave feeling refreshed and ready to serve their communities well. And pray these leaders remain focused on the Lord and that their churches continue to grow in a healthy way.

With Love,
Tyler & Rachel
