We talked about bringing some missions training to churches, about Bible translation, leadership training, Islam in Latin America, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday at our morning service I shared a little about nineteen unreached people groups here in Mexico, many thousands of whom live quite close to where we are. It was interesting because we learned about some of the same groups today, such as one people group of more than sixty thousand people, no believers among them that I know of, who have only the New Testament in their language. Many other groups in Mexico only have a few portions of the Bible.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cottrillcompass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/comingsoon.jpg\" alt=\"Coming Soon!\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cottrillcompass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/comingsoon.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cottrillcompass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/comingsoon-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This afternoon our new semester of community centre classes started, including the very first class in the new building in Las Palmas!
