A Closer LOOK at Guatemala!

In the past week we’ve seen and done so much! We’ve made some new friends… Sang on a Guatemalan radio station, that our pastor runs… (we were all in there, it was just too hard to get everyone in the shot)  Bought snacks from a local store… Hiked many miles to share God’s good news… And we’ve become closer through it all!

Adventures in Guatemala

We have officially been in Guatemala three full days and already God has done so much! We are staying in San Pedro, but we have been able to go into the community of San Pablo, (across the bay) and pray with families and visit in their homes. We have seen extremely different living situations than our own. Through our home visits, we have experienced the power of prayer. Our team has also helped with the construction of Pastor Antonio’s church yesterday (he is our contact here) by doing a mass cleaning of scraps and rocks from the church floor. Inside the church, looking out on San...

Guatemala, Here We Come!

Team Guatemala! As training camp comes to an end, we are excited and ready for what God has in store for us in Guatemala. God has already done some amazing work in these students lives.

An Unexpected Twist

Sunday night was definitely one to remember!  About half of our team braved a truck ride through pouring rain to arrive at a local church service.  We planned to attend it and maybe sing one song.  However, when we arrived, we found out that the pastor expected us to conduct the entire service.  SURPRISE!  We quickly put together a list of things to do, and we did it well.  We sang, read Scripture, played the piano, shared testimonies and gave a brief message.  Some of us even sang acapella!  We truly felt out of our comfort zone, but God has a plan...

Listening in Prayer

So often, we tell God everything we want and need, and we throw up a few words of praise or maybe a bit of confession, but then we walk away.  We end our prayers, and we have never even given the Lord a chance to speak.  What a crazy concept!  How would you feel if someone came up to you, talked your ear off for twenty minutes and then walked away–never giving you a chance to respond or share your thoughts?  On Saturday, our team devoted the entire day to listening to the Lord in prayer.  We talked about ways to hear from God and how to test what you hear to...
