PIONEERS On August 8th we returned from a week-long Candidate Orientation Program with Pioneers, a missions organization based out of Orlando, Florida. At the end of the week we accepted their invitation to partner with them in reaching the deaf with the gospel. They are especially encouraging to missionaries who use innovative means to spread the gospel, which makes our calling such a good fit with them.
SURVEY TRIP We will be spending four weeks in Guatemala, August 19-Sept 15, in order to accomplish several important things: • Identify effective and creative ways to reach the deaf • Determine the cost of living for us personally as well as the initial start up costs for the ministry • Team build with our Guatemalan partners • Find deaf children! • Start a Sunday School class and hold a training program for the teachers
