As we unloaded out of the pick up trucks, kids started crowding around us. People began to sit and get ready for the service. One family with two elderly people and a young girl came and sat in the front next to me. All were seated except for the young girl–I was confused and intrigued. The service continued with songs and skits and testimonies, but, out of the corner of my eye, I could still see the girl standing.
At the end of the worship, Pastor Antonio welcomed the family to the front and we prayed over them. It turns out that the girl was sick and couldn´t sit–most likely because of a hernia–so we prayed for her specifically and are trusting God to bring healing. The unity of the Guatemalen people with our American missions team in prayer was breath-taking. The Holy Spirit was alive and present with us as a light unto the people of Guatemala. Gracias a Dios!
