The Heart of the Matter

Back to the Beginning
I took four others with me to Nebaj for a conference on discipleship course. It was the first time that they opened the new road from our town in Chichi to the Ixil triangle there in Nebaj. It took two and one half hours in what used to take five hours. It gave me an opportunity to share about the last fourteen years of traveling this road with those in the car. The time the steering wheel came off while I was driving; the time Sharon and I walked over a mountain to a remote village and half way up Sharon could go no further. They had to recruit a local mule to help her up the rest of the way. It was hilarious to see her. When we arrived in Nebaj I was greeted warmly by many of my friends made over the last fourteen years. That is where I started teaching rural pastors and leaders.
