 Part 2: Seasons in the Land of Eternal SpringBy: Kristen Photos: Connie Rock   On Lake Atitlán, life moves at a very different pace. There is no rush to get from one location to another, no hurry to press forward and race throughout the day. Moments pass with the same speed as those in dugout canoes-quietly, unhurried, and smooth.

Greetings from Guatemala!

By Danielle Hagerty   Hola amigos y famalia! Can you believe that you will be seeing us all in less than a week? Because we can’t.

We went our...

Listening to God

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked alter me, I was in prison and you came to visit me… ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me'”-Matthew 25:35-36, 40 This place is so incredibly beautiful, God’s glory is evident everywhere you turn. As we walk through the streets admiring the abundant beauty, we’re sadly reminded of a...
