+# EMI Chiapas 2026 — Audio Meeting Notes
+
+## Source and fidelity
+
+- Source audio: `/Users/adolforeyna/.hermes/cache/documents/doc_0e0b78113b40_audio1786403127.m4a`
+- Duration: 40m 13s
+- Raw transcription: `/Users/adolforeyna/Projects/MacMiniMCP/generated-transcriptions/transcription-1788608886475.json`
+- Engine: Apple SpeechAnalyzer + SpeechTranscriber, en-US
+- The recording contains Spanish/English mixed speech. Some names and assignments were difficult for ASR and require confirmation.
+
+## Main purpose
+
+- Strengthen relationships and communication among Spanish-speaking leaders.
+- Preserve and pass on the spiritual deposit received from apostolic fathers.
+- Connect established leaders with emerging leaders.
+- Encourage collaboration between congregations and ministries.
+- Define concrete ministry steps for Latin America after the gathering.
+
+## Proposed program
+
+### Tuesday — Generational continuity
+
+- Morning prayer and focused intercession.
+- Teaching/conversation about preserving the deposit of grace received from previous leaders.
+- Discussion with emerging leaders around the same theme.
+- Apostle-led small groups for questions, conversation, and relationship-building.
+- Profeta Luz appears to be associated with this day; confirm.
+
+### Wednesday — Stories of impartation
+
+- Prayer appears to involve Pastora Lucy; confirm.
+- Leaders share testimonies and stories of what God has done.
+- Adults explain God’s works to the children, reflecting Psalm 78:4.
+- Small groups rotate so participants can hear from multiple leaders.
+- Walk/excursion around the hotel grounds.
+- Prayer, worship, prophecy, dinner, and a bonfire.
+- Children’s bonfire activities coordinated by Adolfo and Alicia.
+
+### Thursday — Inter-ministry collaboration
+
+- Moderation involving Juan Pablo and Génesis appears in the recording; confirm.
+- Apostle Adolfo’s proposed session: “The strengths of my congregation.”
+- Each congregation shares strengths and grace God has given it, such as intercession, teaching, family/marriage ministry, Kingdom revelation, or worship.
+- Goal: identify practical ways ministries can collaborate.
+- Discuss upcoming conferences, events, missions, and opportunities to participate together.
+- Pool time was discussed but may depend on the weather.
+
+### Friday — Vision and concrete steps
+
+- Prayer and the vision of the Kingdom for Latin America.
+- Presentation about the broader EMI vision, including Africa and Latin America.
+- Define concrete next steps for the next 6–8 months and the next 90 days.
+- Discuss missions, trips, and ministry projects needing specific plans.
+- Costa Rica and Panama were mentioned as examples of future regional work.
+- Presentations or conversations with Apostle Eduardo and Apostle Carlos were proposed; confirm.
+
+## Discussion format
+
+- The working idea is approximately five groups, each connected to an apostle or key leader.
+- Participants could later be reorganized so each new group includes someone from the original groups and everyone hears multiple testimonies.
+- The goal is meaningful interaction rather than a gathering made up only of long sermons.
+- Sessions may work better as approximately 90 minutes plus a 30-minute break, with flexibility.
+
+## Preparation and open items
+
+- Prepare questions for each leader before the gathering.
+- Contact Apostle Eduardo and Apostle Carlos to confirm participation and topics.
+- Clarify whether Carlos can attend; visa/travel issues were discussed.
+- Confirm participation from leaders connected to Cuba, Panama, and other regions.
+- Confirm assignments for prayer, moderation, teaching, testimonies, and worship.
+- Decide whether sermons or conversations may be recorded.
+- Prepare worship equipment, including guitar, piano, and a suitable music area.
+
+## Existing confirmed logistics
