		As with most of the Mayan groups, the Cakchiquel are hard working farmers and talented artisans,known world wide for their beautiful textiles,colorful dress and “cultural heritage”.
		They spend much time, money and energy attempting to appease the spirits and praying to the saints in hope that they will find favor with them and be granted their wishes for health and provision.
		We need church planters who are willing to travel to the outer edges of the Cakchiquel area, learn their heart language, and share the gospel with them in a way that they can respond, come to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ,and then go and share the good news with their neighbors and friends.

	Geist: Columnists
		Cakchiquel, the third most widely spoken of Guatemala’s twenty Mayan languages, is understood by more than 400,000 people.
		Cakchiquel territory embraces the Westernized tourist towns of Antigua and Panajachel and most of the two-hour drive between them, a region of Guatemala where tourism, satellite television and the sweatshop economy have frayed traditional life.
		Then I realized that Cakchiquel had a different lesson to teach me: the artificial nature of all language; the fact that systematizing speech and writing to make it generally comprehensible loosens the clasp between word and concept in which human speech originated.

		Dad translated, and the need was clear. The missionaries had to move deeper into the Cakchiquel world. The linguistic and cultural divide had to be filled in with common ground. That middle partition had to be torn down.
		By this time, I was less resentful of Guatemala’s inconvenient poverty, and had learned a little Spanish and a few words of Cakchiquel. I understood most of what Daniel said—that the gospel offered a way of life which would keep families together and bring them to God, and that he was eager to serve.
		I was touched by his sincerity and by the love in that chapel, though I was not yet consumed by love. I still hated fleas and mosquitos, and I remained frustrated by my limited language.

		The Cakchiquel warriors were a product of the alliance formed between Alvarado and the Cakchiquel tribe in Guatemala.
		These events were observed by the Cakchiquel tribes with great satisfaction since the Quiches happened to be their mortal enemies.
		Alvarado and his troops received a hero's welcome when they reached the Cakchiquel capital of Iximche that when translated to the Nahuatl language (derived from the Aztec language spoken by the natives who accompanied Alvarado from other alliances formed during the Hernan Cortes conquest of Mexico) becomes Cuauhtemallan from where the actual name Guatemala originates.

		The Cakchiquel did not ask for the fire, because they did not want to give themselves up to be overcome, the way that the other tribes had been overcome when they offered their breasts and their armpits so that they would be opened.
		And this was the opening [of the breasts] about which Tohil had spoken; that they should sacrifice all the tribes before him, that they should tear out their hearts from their breasts.
		Thus the royal house of the Cakchiquel was called, and its king boasted the title of Ahpo-zotzil, King or Lord Bat.

		Today, the lake's Maya inhabitants work peacefully at a number of trades, fishing from hand-made, dugout canoes, cutting cane used to make rush mats, farming in plots irrigated by water from the lake, tending to coffee farms or pursuing creative activities such as weaving, embroidery and painting.

		This was definitely not part of the Mayan scheme of things and was going to test the understanding and commitment of their husbands and the willingness of their mothers-in-law to care for small grandchildren over a long period.
		Rather, it was the unfaltering belief that their labour of love would one day reap a rich harvest when the Cakchiquel community could at last read God’s Word in their own tongue.

		A local religious leader called it "the work of the devil," but having little else to read, this man devoured the Cakchiquel Bible and was converted.
