The team has made it to the Base where they will be serving the rest of the month.  The team is settling in and ready to jump into whatever the Lord has for them. 

Roman Noffsinger,   Throughout this trip, I have had some super Godly moments. We woke up one morning and decided to worship with the Beauty for Ashes group that was also staying with us in the Dominican Republic. While we were worshiping you could feel the presence of God all around. A lady named Rita walked up to me and told me that God said I’m going to be a minister to someone down here and throughout my life. After worship, they pulled out cards that the Beauty for Ashes team wrote prior to the worship. We each got to randomly choose our own anonymous cards. It just so...

Training camp has been so amazing for me! I have had so much fun taking bucket showers and laughing with my team. From laughing at Mackenzie because she screams so loud at bugs to getting all six of us up a twelve foot wall, training camp has truly been an amazing and unique experience. God is really testing me on this trip because I have never done anything like this before. I was really pushed to my limits, such as my trust with others. I am so happy that I have been able to have this experience. During one of our sessions we were told to pray for a stranger and I ended up praying for the...

Hi everyone!! I’m really not sure how many days we have been in Guatemala, but I do know that every single one of them has been absolutely amazing! I think that I can speak for everyone, on the four-week team and the two-week team, that we all love being here. So far, for ministry, we have put on a VBS for the kids in a local community, spent time doing street ministry, door-to-door ministry, and visiting a home for seniors. Personally, I love doing the VBS and door-to-door ministry because I have been able to get to know some of the kids and talk with their parents. Door-to-door...

Thursday was all around just a huge blessing to us and every single person we interacted with that day. We spent the day in San Lorenzo where we did street ministry as well as stove installation. At one of the first doors we knocked on, there was a young lady named Natalie. Natalie was immobile due to a knee injury which was covered in a brace. We asked her what the pain was on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the worst) and she said nine. We all laid a hand on her leg and began to pray. After our first prayer she said it felt a little bit better, so we continued on and prayed a second prayer....

So coming on this mission trip I was definitely expecting a spiritual high. Yes, I know that is far from the purpose of going to another country to serve. However in the back of my mind, I was definitely expecting to be filled with the Spirit, and I found comfort in looking forward to that. What I didn’t realize at the time was that I was unconsciously expecting to draw that strength and comfort from my team and others around me. When I arrived at training camp, it wasn’t what I expected. I wasn’t “feeling the Lord” nor was I able to draw strength from the...
