Deborah Byler helped open the way for Kekchi Mennonite women to lead

By Jane Morrow

Guatemala

Mennonite Mission Network has a long-term relationship with SEMILLA, <a href="https://semillagt.org/" target="_blank">Seminario Anabautista Latinoamericano</a> based in Guatemala City. SEMILLA works at a regional level providing Anabaptist study materials and educational programs. In November 2016 SEMILLA hosted a meeting with Spanish language Anabaptist theological education programs to develop cooperative efforts for studying online. The <a href="http://cita-online.org/">Comunidad de Instituciones Teológicas Anabautistas (CITA) </a>was formed at this gathering to facilitate collaborative on-line theological education. The Mennonite churches in Guatemala have primary relationships with <a href="http://www.emm.org/">Eastern Mennonite Missions</a> (EMM). Mission Network is grateful for EMM's collaboration, especially in the ministries together with the Kekchi indigenous Iglesia Nacional Evangélica Menonita Guatemalteca (INEMGUA).
