By Jordan Stafford – Guatemala 2 Week 2nd Launch The Lord is so good to His people, and His heart is so kind. If I haven’t learned anything else on this trip to Guatemala, I have definitely learned that God has a huge heart and that He truly desires good for his people. This morning we got up around 6:00 to go to breakfast, and then we went out to visit houses and pray for the local people. In order to get to the houses, we drove in the back of pickup trucks standing up, which was crazy, but also super fun. The Guatemalan driving culture is so different from America. Here, they...

¡Hola! Me llamo Kat! I’m currently (7/7/18) driving through Puerto Rico looking at the epic mountains and jamming to “I can only Imagine” with some of the best humans I’ve ever met. I guess you could say I’m THRIVING! The place we’re staying is called Camp Caribe; I’ve never seen anything quite like it. If you look to the left, you‘re welcomed by the waves. And if you look to the right, the windmills and mountains surround the sea. During quiet time every morning, we get to spend time with the Lord and sit in awe of His glory. I read,...

What are the things that make kids happy? Barbie dolls, iPads, McDonald’s, XBox, Legos, Hoverboards, and the list is never ending. These toys and inanimate objects never really satisfy them, because by Christmas they need a whole new bunch of toys. Imagine sending these children outside to play on an ash covered road with only a worn out soccer ball. How long do you think this would entertain them? 15 minutes? 30? I would say that it would be less than 10 minutes before at least one of them started to complain about something. “It’s too hot”  “I...

We have been in San Pedro, Guatemala for 4 full days now working with Pastor Antonio and the community he works with in San Pablo. On Tuesday we visited his church and he told the testimony of how it was started and built. The team got to meet some of the children who go to the school that is attached to the church and play some games with them. In the afternoon, we got lunch and prayer walked around the city. We stopped on the beach to enjoy the view and pray for God to work in the city. Wednesday we went back to the school and the team spent time with several of the classes. The...

Hello from Manzini! The team is loving our new, temporary home! Yesterday we had spent the day on a Scavenger hunt through the city, which really helped us to become immersed in the culture and also to learn more about the area where we are serving and living! We had the opportunity to try many “Swazi Sweets” including Chappies (a type of gum), Smarties (a white chocolate candy bar filled with treats), and much more! Strolling through the city center we were able to meet many people in the markets, near by parks, and local businesses.  Our next few days, we will continue to...
