Thanks for visiting my blog on Guatemala, where i will be living and working October 25th, 2011 - April 30th, 2012. I look forward to reflecting with you about my time in this rich, challenged country.
I begin the first three works brushing up on my Spanish language skills in a town called Xela, where I'll be living with a local family and studying five hours a day. On November 15th, I begin my work with CEDEPCA, The Center for Evangelical Pastoral Studies of Central America. Of their five main areas of ministry, i'll be working with the area called "Intercultural Encounters." Here, we receive delegations groups from U.S. & Canadian churches, seminaries and universities, leading them in immersion experiences of education and work alongside local communities. You can learn more at www.cedepca.org
You can also support my time to cover basic living expenses through a tax-deductible donation at www.cedepca.us/jenkins. Just be sure to click the "Designate" line and designate for Alan Jenkins.
Muchas Gracias!
