Music crosses borders update

Last fall the Prophets were practicing on Tuesday evening as they do. (Read my first post on this here.) During the rehearsal a couple of folks walked into rehearsal. They had been in a meeting in the facility and had heard us working on a couple of Hispanic songs. They were from our partner church in Guatemala! We finally got some photos. Enjoy.

Edwin Gelista is playing guitar with Mark and Perrin above; Cesar Taracena is singing in the picture below. The Western North Carolina Presbytery has a pretty extensive ongoing relationship with church in Guatemala, the whole of which I haven't quite put together. You can read about it beginning here. Edwin is pastor of our sister church and coordinator between Suchitepequez Presbytery in Guatemala and our Presbytery; Cesar is an elder in a church partnered with First Pres. Asheville, and coordinator with Sur Occidente Presbytery.

The Prophets are seriously wondering if they/we could pull off a musical mission to our sister church, combined perhaps with other mission workers from our church and Presbytery.
