Guat 4 – First Glance
To give you a glimpse at what were experiencing, close your eyes and imagine this juxtaposition. Poured concrete sidewalks, a brick house with carpet and original wood flooring, families taking a drive to the grocery store, little boys and girls running around during recess and playing together. Now imagine dirt roads, corrugated tin used as a main house building material aside from cinderblock, dirt floors and a flap of fabric for a door, walking miles to the nearest tienda (small shop that sells junk food). There’s a 70/30 ratio of girls to boys because as early as the age of 7,...
Guat 4 – Home Visit Ministry
During our first few days here in Guatemala, our team has been trained for and participated in a few different kinds of ministry. The first ministry we participated in was making home visits.

One thing that I was not expecting for ministry on this trip was to mainly build relationships with people… at least with the Abisha (Ethiopian people). I...
