While in Guatemala, our group obtained a video called “La Esperanza” (The Hope). The video uses Spanish-speaking narrators to give an overview of the Bible - focusing on the gospel message.
With the school’s permission, Rocky and David arranged to have a public showing of the video at the APPA San Juan campus. We borrowed some projection equipment, arranged for tamales and punch to be served, and invited all of our friends and families in San Juan to come and watch the show. Almost every seat was filled with a bundled up Guatemalan on the chilly night the video was shown.
The feedback we received was wonderful. People loved being able to hear a clear gospel message in their own language. My own teacher told me she was so moved by the story, she almost cried at three different points during the movie. The Good News is very good news if we can just give it to people in a way they will understand.
