Welcome Back Sunday was a huge success!

Submitted by Church Administrator on September 16, 2009 - 4:27pm.

Welcome Back Sunday was a huge success!  On Sunday, Sept 13, we were greeted by nearly 300 parishioners for a celebratory worship service to kick off the new program year.  Sunday School started with a turnout of more than 130 children of all ages, from infants through senior high schoolers.  More than 50 middle school and senior high youth attended the youth group meetings on Sunday evening, and rehearsals for our four youth choirs (with more than 75 participants) began as well.  Now is a great time to join our many programs!

A Victory for El Jute, A Victory for Us All

Submitted by amanda.kistler on January 25, 2010 - 11:56pm.

Happy New Year! It has been a long time since I’ve last written. Life took a crazy turn in September, and I have not been able to find the time to sit down and write an update until now. As many of you already know, I finished my contract as an accompanier with NISGUA in November and returned to the United States to spend Christmas with my family and think about what comes next.

Historic Sentencing for Forced Disappearance Case!

Submitted by amanda.kistler on September 10, 2009 - 12:57pm.

It feels like ages. My time in Guatemala is flying; I’ve been here 9 months and very few remain. The past two months have been insanely busy. Any yet, I’m not burnt out. To the contrary, I am inspired and motivated, not in spite of, but because of all that I have witnessed these past two months.

There are too many stories, too many experiences, too many individual triumphs and frustrations from these past two months to fit in this letter. So I will focus on just one: the story of the community Choatalúm and the history it made last week.

Allow me to take you through a day in the life of a short-term accompanier – or as I modestly like to call it: 24 hours on a Guatemalan road trip in the head of Amanda Kistler.

Greetings from Guatemala, Round 2

Submitted by amanda.kistler on April 29, 2009 - 6:20pm.

This post is going to be more chatty. The more intense (and official) “friends and family letter” will hopefully be coming in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, in an effort to keep better in touch and provide some more personal touches to flesh out my experience here… I give you: this post.

Here is a quick preview of what this email will include:
