Evangelism/Church Planting Project in Guatemala
Missionary Broadcasting is cooperating with Getsemani
Baptist Church of San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala in a project to evangelize
Santa Cruz La Laguna on the shores of Lake Atitlán.
The project envisions a major missionary effort once
a month for six months—all promoted by radio spots and programs on Radio
Amistad 90.7 FM, owned and operated by Getsemaní church.
These monthly efforts will include Operation GO in
which North American youth volunteers will pray for this town and walk its
streets distributing Ziplock bags filled with the Gospel of John, the María
Magdalena—Released from Shame video and other media materials.
Other ideas include presenting outstanding Christian
videos, concerts by the choirs of Getsemaní Church, the marimba band of the
Baptist seminary in Guatemala City, sermons by outstanding pastors and
missionaries, storying as well as Vacation Bible schools and projects to teach
needy families how to cultivate small family gardens and how to raise chickens.
If you are interested in participating, please

Volunteers Needed for Construction Project in Honduras
Volunteer masons (bricklayers) and electricians are needed
to build the concrete block walls around an existing roofed structure in El
Barro, in eastern Honduras.
This open-air structure was built in response to a
woman deciding to be a follower of Jesus.
Members of the Bethel Baptist Church of nearby Taujica had invited her
to worship with them. She returned to
El Barro and began inviting her neighbors to a Bible study in her home. The response was tremendous. Now, an average
of 40 children, young people and adults attend several activities a week in a
small open structure the folks in Taujica built to accommodate all the
responders.
Now, they would like to wall-in the structure with
solid and decorative concrete blocks that would secure the place as well as provide
ventilation in this wet and hot climate about 30 miles from the Caribbean
coast.
A date for the project will depend on the
availability of volunteers. We’re
thinking of the summer of 2013. The
same group could help build a small concrete block transmitter shack for Stereo
Bethel in Taujica.
Stations Learn How to Operate Computer Programs
Volunteer announcers at two Baptist radio stations in
Honduras learned how to operate two computer programs to help improve
programming in November. Francisco Pinochet,
a young computer expert in Mobile, AL and I taught them how to use Audacity to
edit and produce audio materials such as spots, programs and intros and
closings. We also instructed them on
the use of ZaraRadio to automate their programming.
We worked
with two pastors and the manager of Radio Buenas Nuevas (Good News Radio) 103.1
FM in Puerto Lempira in the La Mosquitia region of northeastern Honduras. While we were there, Broadcast Engineer
Marcio Moraga, installed a new 500-watt FM transmitter, and we’re getting
responses from listeners from as far away as the Coco River which separates
Honduras from Nicaragua.
Francisco
has assembled a 1.5 terabyte desktop computer for Puerto Lempira. Terry Stephan helped a great deal on this
project also. It should be shipped to
Honduras very soon.
As
Baptist work has grown in La Mosquitia, so has the number of good worship bands
singing in their indigenous language, Miskito.
There is a big need for a volunteer audio recording technician with a
musical background to go to Puerto Lempira and record their music for broadcast
on Radio Buenas Nuevas. Anabel Daniel Coello is the manager. If you’re interested, please contact us.
Meanwhile,
in Taujica near Tocoa (also in eastern Honduras) the personnel of Stereo Bethel
95.5 FM also learned Audacity and ZaraRadio.
MBI hopes to purchase a 1KW FM transmitter, antenna and coaxial cable
for this station to improve their signal.
Marco Ferrufino is the manager.
