I will be traveling with my friend Juana Herlinda Yac Salanic, who has been chosen as an International Peacemaker by the Presbyterian Church (USA). Juana Herlinda is an elder in the Getsemani Presbyterian Church of Pachaj, Cantel, not too far from Quetzaltenango. Her mother tongue is K'iche', but she also speaks Spanish. Juana Herlinda is also on the governing council of Presbyterian Women for the national church here. She is the president of the local health commission for the municipality of Cantel. She has been a student in both the Biblical and Theological Training Program and the Women's Ministry Program of CEDEPCA. She has lots of experience and wisdom to share about what makes for change here in Guatemala. You have the opportunity to invite Juana Herlinda and I to visit your church and/or presbytery. The brochure found at http://www.presnb.org/sites/PRESNB/folders/images/international%20peacemakers_speakers%202011.pdf has the form you need to fill out. The Peacemaking Program gives priority to invitations from presbyteries or clusters of churches, but individual congregations can also apply. Invitations are considered on a first-come, first-served basis, so please apply soon if you would like to have us come. I'm very excited to be traveling with Juana Herlinda on her first visit to the United States. Please do consider inviting us to visit. The Presbyterian Women's Gathering
