The Mission-Maya Quiche partnership needs your continued prayer and financial support in order to complete this project.

The program, initiated by the Committee on Ministry of the Maya Quiche Presbytery, will provide a basic reference library for 30 pastors, including a study Bible, a Bible dictionary, a Concordance, a book on the Constitution of the National Church of Guatemala, and several notebooks for their use in sermon preparation. It will also provide funds for a new huipil for each of the pastors' wives. Hopefully, enough money will be donated to provide this same basic library to each new pastor as they are ordained in Maya Quiche Presbytery.

The total cost of the libraries for thirty Guatemalan pastors is Q9,750.00. At an exchange rate of approximately 8 quetzales to 1 dollar, this converts to $1218.75 or a cost per pastor of $40.63. The cost of the huipils is Q500 per person, or $62.50, for a total project coat of $3093.75.

As an extension of this program, Mission Presbytery pastors can participate in a "prayer partnership" with a Maya Quiche pastor. We will be exchanging photographs and biographical information on the pastors from each presbytery during the February 2003 mission trip.
