Continuing Our Youth Partnership

March 20, 2018November 28, 2019Guatemala Partnership

This past Sunday, Cathy and Carrie paid a visit to our partner church, El Verbo Divino. The church is absolutely breathtaking and has the most scenic view from its balcony. If that name sounds a tad familiar, this is the same church whose youth group graciously hosted Westminster youth this past summer for the inaugural youth partnership trip to Guatemala.

Reconnecting with CEDEPCA

March 15, 2018January 8, 2021Guatemala Partnership

After much planning, packing, and flying, Westminster Presbyterian Church members, Carrie and Cathy, arrived safely in Guatemala City Wednesday afternoon. Upon their arrival, they immediately connected with Emerson Morales of CEDEPCA. As CEDEPCA’s Program Coordinator in its Intercultural Encounters program, Emerson is a vital figure throughout all trips to Guatemala. Beyond his amazing translation skills, he acts as the perfect liaison between the visiting group or church and the local community with whom the group or church is partnering. In this case, Emerson helps Westminster and its efforts to assist the Association, so that partnership projects are helpful to the Association and local communities and not hurtful.

Emerson, Carrie, and Cathy discussed two upcoming trips in 2019. Though the dates are not finalized, we plan to take two groups to Guatemala in 2019. Read more →

In case you missed it, the youth who visited Guatemala this June shared their experiences to a packed house on Sunday, September 17 at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Wilmington, Delaware. Seeing the entire community hall with church members of all ages captivated about the recent developments in the Guatemala partnership was such an exciting feeling. The congregation’s continued interest in local and international mission is so incredible!

July 14, 2017May 3, 2018Guatemala Partnership

We mentioned before the power of prayer. Prayer is the primary pillar of our partnership with the Association. Through prayer and our reliance on God, there is a common thread.
