New Music Students in Zacapa – From Outside the Church!

Benjamin Tino shares exciting news in his latest newsletter: as he and his family prepare for their “big move” to another part of Guatemala, he has welcomed five new music students—all of whom are not church members!

Ben notes that these new musicians are eager and dedicated to mastering their instruments. They are learning to play the flute, alto saxophone, guitar (two students), and piano.

“Since they joined with basically only two months left for me in Zacapa, they each receive lessons twice a week with the goal of establishing the fundamentals needed for their chosen instrument to either continue lessons elsewhere or grow as a musician on their own. I can now officially say I am no longer taking on new students in Zacapa,” Ben explains.

This development marks an exciting chapter in Ben’s music ministry.

As for his church musicians, Ben expresses confidence in their ability to carry the torch: “They seem confident and ready to work as a team to carry on the music ministry in Zacapa this coming year. Expectations and requirements from both the musicians and the church council have been explained in order to ensure a most smooth transition to this new phase of the church music ministry in Zacapa.”

We join in prayer for the continued growth and refinement of Zacapa’s musicians as they use their talents to glorify the Lord each Sunday.
