Teacher Training in El Progreso Village

One of the churches participating in Operation Christmas Child this year is located in a small, isolated village in the hills of Puebla.  Though their children’s director attended our teacher training sessions in the fall, the rest of the children’s teachers from their church could not make the trip into the city.  Instead, the church invited us to come train their teachers for children’s discipleship there in the village. 

 

20 teachers from two nearby churches gathered- eager for training to minister to the many children who were attending their churches.  One church (in this small village) had over 60 children!

 

To show their appreciation, the

brothers at the church received us with large meals for both breakfast and lunch, and sent us off with gifts from their local harvests: roasted pumpkin seeds, candied fruits, apples in cream, and more.  We thank the Lord for His servants proclaiming His truth in this village!
