In Forgotten Peoples, as Miriam relates, you will enjoy the author's adventures as a Christian missionary. Miriam Trotzke Cebeira tells how she and her husband, Fausto, sought to promote education and personal welfare in marginal areas surrounding the capital city of Guatemala by opening and operating Christian day schools and Bible training centers. These beginnings led to the establishment of a foundation for the planting of churches and humanitarian relief efforts. Their work took them to the northern department of El Quiché, where a 36-year civil war raged (1960-1996), leaving behind tens of thousands of Ixil people widowed, orphaned, homeless, and void of the most basic tools to provide for themselves.Later, the Cebeiras went on to minister to the Chortí tribe of eastern Guatemala, where famines and starvation are frequent, fighting poverty is a daily burden, and isolation and racism are cruelly practiced by the Ladinos (mixed Indigenous and Spanish). Other efforts have included the Quekchís (northeastern area) and the Kakchiquels (central area), all Mayan people groups in Guatemala.Come with Miriam as she shares stories from parts of the world that are little known to most outsiders. Be transported to the jungles and dry lands, cities and villages, of a developing country. Follow the establishment of a mission and the provision of spiritual and economic relief to the less fortunate.Better yet, meet the people: Ku, the guerrilla messenger boy; Bercindo, whose nightmares changed his life; and Gabriel, who one day destroyed his moonshine wares.Step into Forgotten Peoples and you will be inspired to renew your commitment to find ways to go forth to the ends of the earth with God's eternal Word.
