MISSION CAPSULES: Our gifts to Presbyterians Sharing ... support Denise Van Wissen, a Nutrition Coordinator working with the Fraternidad of Maya Presbyterials in Guatemala. The Fraternidad Bible studies and theological training help women, who have too often been discriminated against for both their gender and their ethnicity, discover their value as children of God. Basic education and training in technical skills help women prepare for the work force and begin income-generating activities. The provision of small loans allows the women to start to grow businesses of their choice such as shoemaking, raising livestock and handicrafts. Educating mothers for healthy pregnancies and babies is a primary task in Denise's work, and for the past year she has had the opportunity to "practice what she preaches" with her own son, Jeremy Alexander. Let us pray for Denise and the women in Guatemala as they work to share God's love.

More Good Answers:

Robert Whiting, an elderly Canadian gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on bag. "You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs office asked.

Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. The official replied " then you should know enough to have your passport ready".

The Canadian said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it".

"Impossible. Canadians always have to show passports on arrival in France."

The Canadian senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, "Well, when I came ashore on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I coudn't find a single Frenchman to show a passport to".
