This update is from Hector Barrero, GCI’s mission developer in Central and South America.
In early December I visited three GCI congregations in Central America. I started with the San Pedro Sula congregation in Honduras, where we held three meetings—first with 36 children (see picture at right), then with the youth and finally with all members—about 40 total (pictured below). It was nice to spend time with Pastor Marco Antonio Mejia, his family and the members. The congregation is doing a good job helping poor children in a nearby neighborhood.
We then traveled by car to Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, where we had dinner with Pastor Mauricio Diaz and other pastors and their wives (pictured below).
We met for church the next day with about 65 people in attendance (pictured below). The Tegucigalpa church is a truly happy and enthusiastic congregation.
I then flew to San Salvador, El Salvador. Pastor David Agreda hosted a dinner at his home. Several members attended. The next day we held a worship service with about 30 attending (pictured below).
