Peacemaker conference and new Geneva School

We have been busy and there is too much to say in one blog post. I am working on getting out a newsletter next week.  I just want to mention two things.

We are having a Peacemaker conference on March 20 and 21. It will be for the leaders of the churches we work with here in Trujillo. Please pray for all the pastors and leaders involved. I found out about a translation of the materials in Spanish on the Peacemaker website.

Also, we just celebrated the inauguration of Geneva School in Arevalo. It will start with 2-5 year olds but each year will add the next grade up. Fellow missionary, Dale Ellison, Pastor Ricardo Hernandez and another member of Arevalo, Jorge Espino, were monumental in getting this started. Fellow missionary, Pastor Wes Baker spoke at the inauguration ceremony of how John Calvin in Geneva and John Knox in Scotland started something that had impact not in one year but in 50-100 years. Our goal for this school is that starting with the foundational principles of the Scripture we will build a community of believers who will be the best scientists, mathematicians, philosophers, artists, doctors and teachers who will in turn transform the culture for God's glory.

Please pray for the development of the school, the continued discipleship work in our churches, the medical ministry, the economic development ministries and this Peacemaker conference coming up at the end of the month.
