Beloved brother Stannard:
First and second pictures are brother Harvey Chavarria and me , We were going to take a bus to travel to CUA BOCAY TO 210 km from Managua. the other one pictures are  when we were preaching topics about centralization, institutionalism, the correct use of the offering and calvinism with brother Jose ines and church and other men of church.
I and brother Hayvey were in CUA BOCAY  NOVEMBER 14, 15 AND 16 . We preached  with the church and individual studies with men of church. We believe this opportunity is important to explain the problem  about unsound doctrine that some churches  has taught and  they have changed the pattern of bible.
We have plans for December and then February with him , but  I will travel until february  over there. It is possible this opportunity could be one open the door to other liberal churches, in fact we in february  thought  to visit  other preachers in Febuary.But we also  hope  to continuo  with church in CUA BOCAY. , Jose Ines Rivera gave hospitality and study a lot about the problem in the churches with centralization and how in Nicaragua have control with them and other churches and how the God´s pattern  has been being changed to they. They hear with good behavior and accept the problem , but they told us that they need to continue studying.


We are very happy , because we have advanced in this, but we are consciuos  to need more time. If God give us live  we are going to travel to this place and aroud this place, because  we can help a lot brothers and sisters. I want to say  that this effort us  to cost time and money . GOD WILLING AND SO ARE WE.
Please pray for us and brothers in CUA BOCAY AND BROTHER José Ines Rivera.

With love in Christ Edwin Palma
