What a contrast with the previous week! In mid-October I was facing the extreme poverty conditions of Cuba and two weeks later found myself with Drs. Fernández and Kautzmann with the leadership of a Christian University being taken to places where food abounded! We had asked you to pray for the trip to Guatemala. We are so excited as to how God is answering prayers! After three days of intense meetings, the leadership of the Christian Univeristy in Guatemala has agreed to grant accreditation to our two master's programs in exchange for the use of those programs for their theology students. This is significant news for LATN / ProMETA, but even of greater joy to all our students who are able to register their degrees with their governements and have the same rights and privileges as those who have secular degrees. Final details on how all this will work out are still being developed, but God is in all of this! One neat God sighting was revealed in a conversation I had with the vice-rector of the university as he was driving me to a restaurant. He actually studied with my cousins at John Brown University and as it turned out, his father and my cousin's father were best friends back in Guatemala! What are the percentages of that kind of a connection! Needless to say, that relationship did not hurt our discussions with this university of 55,000 students! We praise God for that "little" affirmation.
