Abiding in Christ
Thanks to the partnership between GOOD NEWS and the VDMA Project, pastors and seminary students throughout the LAC region have been delighted to receive a new Spanish issue of GOOD NEWS magazine today. “Abiding in Christ” (GN issue #25) is centered on Jesus’ words in John 15:5, 4: I am the vine; you are the branches. Abide in Me, and I in you. Focusing on this theme will help pastors and congregation members in their study of how God’s Word applies to their daily lives as they are branches attached to the vine – as they live as brothers and sisters in Christ – who together, abide in Christ.

Four Countries, Eight Days
After years of hard work, patience, and coordination, the Spanish Lutheran hymnal, Himnario Luterano, arrived in Guatemala.

Thanks to a generous gift from the Lutheran Heritage Foundation, a large portion of the printing and shipping costs were covered, making the hymnals affordable for our sister churches.
