Missions breakfast



I´ve had a busy weekend. It started off with a great breakfast conference with these guys....

 Sadoc and Vivi are assistant pastors in their church here in Guatemala, but are preparing to serve with another church in Dalry, Scotland. One of the ways in which they are informing people of their plans was a special breakfast conference on Saturday....
 It was a time to hear more about Latin Link, and how Europe has become a new mission field. We also heard from Sadoc and Vivi about the specific church they will be supporting in Scotland, and a reflection on the book of Acts, as a blueprint for mission-sending churches.
We also had a great breakfast!
The process of raising personal support in Guatemala is a bit different to my experience in the UK. Here, although some people are interested and passionate about missions, the employment situation makes it quite difficult to plan ahead. Very few people have job security. Even those who are professionals, may not have long term contracts, so people are reluctant to make an ongoing commitment to support mission workers (or anything else!). Thankfully some do, inspite of the risk.
It´s great to be a part of Sadoc and Vivi´s journey to Scotland!
