Monjas, Jalapa


While with the Wellers who live in Monjas, Jalapa, Guatemala we joined up with the Monjas Congregation & the group at El Chaperone for meetings & service.


                            


                                       



   

                                       




Familiar sights = pigs, cows, chickens, horses and dogs while out in service 






As far as the eye can see OPEN SPACE
It feels like the Rio Grande









Sidney comes away from a home where he presented competently, he holds his own & is able to prove Kingdom truths to the householders skilfully using his bible.



The cattle are on their way through - stand aside 






Out on service (above) - we started at 8 am as by midday the temperature can reach 30 C deg


With members of the congregation socially (below)

Akio & Mami (our hosts) faithful Japanese pioneers who work with the congregation in Monjas for 9 months each year - returning to earn fresh funds for the next round!



Savory rice 








A midweek meeting is held in an outlying town called El Chaperone (below)
It is here that the two elders of Monjas will organise accommodation for the visitors on the 'pioneer route'

Up to 15 pioneers are expected over the next months

At present there is only a building for them to come to, which holds a midweek meeting for local interested ones.

But there are ........

No beds
No cooking utensils
No stove
No fridge
No mosquito nets

for the visiting pioneers

but prayers & holy spirit will motivate the right attitude in those who are capable of providing the physical, material necessities & spiritual lead.

Can you help? 




there are many interested ones and plenty of BS opportuinies.
Here we are attending the midweek Wednesday evening meeting ...... 

                      




New ones participate in all the meetings

Their comments are a refreshment to the hard working pioneers, who drive over 40 kilometres round trip and pick up new ones to help them get to the meeting.  

                          





As you can see - along with the huge potential in the area - the building will require considerable work to prepare for the pioneer visitors who will work the remote Spanish speaking territories. 


Can you see yourself working here with the El Chaperone brothers and sisters?
