We are thankful to have enjoyed the visit of a pastor friend and his wife, Jeremy and Katie Estrema, during April. Jeremy preached each day in our chapel and taught a block class to our students and area pastors. He also taught our men's meeting and preached the Sunday services at church. It was a busy week, but it was a great shot in the arm for our ministries and our family.
We love having visitors. It helps when they speak Spanish (as do the Estremas), but that's not a requirement. The majority of people who come to visit do so without much Spanish. That's not the point.
What is the point of a missions trip? To see firsthand what life and ministry are like in another place, to encourage the missionary family with your presence, and to be encouraged with what God is doing in a far off place.
Want to visit? The time is short. We plan to start furlough in late-December, but there is still time. Feel free to contact us about coming for a visit in the next months.
