This week we had a lot of action at the house. The church, Iglesia Masai, has been participating with a Bible training program called Joshua Nations. This is a great two-year course of basic theology and Bible teaching. We celebrated the first graduation for those who completed the program. Areli and I joined the worship team to provide some music for the celebration.

 

Click here to go to YouTube to see the graduation. This is essentially uncut so feel free to skip around.

 

James and Yolanda, who represent Joshua Nations came down from Colorado. We also had several visitors from the Mexican state of Oaxaca. Several of them had finished their first year. We had several people staying in the house and others in the church building. Therefore, we had a very busy but good time. We learned some words in the Mixteco dialect (but I think we forgot them). We even had a game of American football. For those from Oaxaca, it was the first time they ever touched a "real" football. There was a weird silence yesterday when everyone left.

 

Check out the ministry of Joshua Nations. I was very encouraged by the vision and the effects of the ministry. Many countries don't have access to all of the Bible training that we do. We have known pastors in Guatemala that are untrained and some even illiterate. This can lead to incomplete, unbalanced, and sometimes even completely unbiblical teachings. God is using Joshua Nations to bring proper teaching to Christ's Church.
