This year’s trip is postponed until next year. Dates for the summer trip will be posted when they become available. The trip planning has been changed because of Tropical Storm Agatha. Guatemala suffered a lot of damage because of the storm and the eruption of a volcano just outside of Guatemala City. Homes and businesses have been lost, crops destroyed and roads washed away. The Guatemala Partnership is raising money for disaster victims supported by our partner team CESSMAQ. If you want to help send a check to “Mission Presbytery” Attn: Guatemala Partnership. 7201 Broadway St. San Antonio, TX 78209. Please mark the memo section for Guatemala Disaster Aide. Thank you for your patience as we work toward a trip for next year. text/html 2004-06-12T11:54:06+01:00 http://cessmaq.org http://cessmaq.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1 CESSMAQ, Centro Evangélico de Servicio y Socorro Maya Quiché (the Evangelical Committee for Service and Support of Maya Quiche Presbytery), provides a ministry of church planting, literacy and theological education, advocacy for community health, and agricultural economic development projects, transforming lives throughout the highlands of western Guatemala.While CESSMAQ is a Presbyterian organization and agency of the Maya Quiche Presbytery of the National Presbyterian Church of Guatemala (http://www.reformiert-online.net/adressen/detail.php?id=12204 lg=eng), CESSMAQ works ecumenically with and has received support from many Christian traditions, and is committed to communities in need regardless of their faith tradition.
