# 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

## 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.
