Today was the first day of a marriage seminar we are hosting with Health Talents International in Chichicastenango. Through the support of a church in Nashville, TN we were able to bring in a husband and wife team from Venezuela with 12 years experience in marriage seminars for this presentation. This husband and wife team are Leo and Xiomara Rojas and through marriage seminars they have experienced increased church maturity, marital responsibility and church growth. It is very exciting to hear the stories they have of restored marriages and church growth while using marriage seminars as a tool for evangelism.
The seminar is being held at a local hotel called Hotel Casa del Rey which is a owned by a mission organization who helps promote different ministries such as this.
We invited 22 churches in the area to send representatives and ended up with representation from about 15 churches and 18 couples! There is much interest in the topic of marriage and many have expressed their gratitude for hosting this seminar as to their knowledge this is the first marriage seminar in the area.

This top picture and pictures below were an activity that got the group roaring in laughter. The husband had to identify his wife by only holding her hand. A few of the husbands did great identifying their spouses while others struggled - about 25% got it right.
It was a great day and we topped it off with some praises led by Martin from Choacaman.

Cool! I know Leo and traveled with him in Venezuela in '94. Very good man. I just wish I'd known more Spanish so I could have gotten to know him better directly. I'll bet this is a great seminar.
