¡BIENVENIDOS!

Bienvenidos al blog de Portantorchas. Nuestra intención con este blog es poder incluir noticias actuales y algunos mensajes devocionales. El idioma del blog dependera del que incluya la información, y también del sentir de la persona en ese momento. Por ejemplo, mi mensaje de bienvenida está en Español, pero igualmente podría escribirse en inglés. Espero que muchos nos puedan acompañar, y quizás sigamos en este peregrinaje de aprendizaje.

Bendiciones,
Marco Pérez

Winds of Change...

This semester is a first of a kind.

First. We have the most full semester we've ever had, with 35 students. This implies that we are FULL.

Second. We also have 16 Latin American students (2 Peruvians, 2 Hondurans, 12 Ticos.) This brings new challenges to us. For instance, translating classes in the past was simply sitting with a small group of students in the back. We still don't have a clue how we will translate class in two weeks when we have an English teacher.

Third. We continue to incoorporate new elements. There will be two missions' trips this term. One to Panama or Honduras depending on choice, and one in Costa Rica. We have small groups as Tom mentioned. We have lowered the number of sessions in search of more significant times.

All in all, it's fun and interesting. We are trying to adapt to some changes, while trying to stay true to our purpose to glorify Jesus Christ as Lord, Savior (or Saviour for Canadians), and Life. Pray for us, as these changes ought to be directed by the Holy Spirit, and not our own "understanding."
