Chilling. . .

After a long day full of flights our team settled down at the house and took a break in order to be ready to serve God during the whole week!

Chilling. . .

Praise Him Loud!

by Carlos Velásquez | April 28, 2024 7:01 PM

At the beginning of our baptism service our team got to sing some worship songs that have also been translated into Spanish. What a lovely thing to worship Christ as one.

Come and be Baptized

by Carlos Velásquez | April 28, 2024 7:04 PM

Today we received people from several communities that traveled a very long distance in order to be baptized. It was an honor to be part of this huge blessing.

One Same Team

by Carlos Velásquez | April 28, 2024 7:06 PM

After baptizing around 50 people our team took time to pray alongside the pastors from Guatemala and thank God for such a great blessing but also to ask God to protect and guide these just baptized brothers and sisters in the faith.

Sports Day!

Today we got the opportunity to play soccer with some of the kids and young adults from La Verbena. We laughed, we ran and we definitely had lots of fun.

Sports Day!

Bring it on!

by Carlos Velásquez | April 30, 2024 10:25 AM

Yesterday our team joined the kids in their soccer match. The kids were tough and even though there were good sprints and nice movements, there was only one way to solve it, PENALTIES!!!

Bring it on!

Sing out Loud!

by Carlos Velásquez | April 30, 2024 10:33 AM

After a good time of playing soccer, our team took a break to sit down in the shade, relax and sing praises to the Lord alongside the kids.

Time to Serve

by Carlos Velásquez | April 30, 2024 11:42 AM

After a morning of games, songs and so much fun, our team served meals to over 75 people including kids and their parents. No better way to demonstrate God’s love than by serving others.

Commissioning Others

After lunch one of our teammates, Jada, shared her testimony and told the crowd the story about Jesus and the Samaritan woman, reminding everybody that God has given us a message to share in our communities and inspiring them to go out and tell many others about Jesus and His love.

Commissioning Others

Oh, Hello!

by Carlos Velásquez | April 30, 2024 1:52 PM

Today, as we were spending time with kids from different backgrounds and communities, we also met some kids who were doing a sports day in the same area. It was so nice to speak with those little kids and their teachers and share about what we are doing here in Guatemala.
Oh, Hello!

Do You want a Snack?

by Carlos Velásquez | April 30, 2024 9:23 PM

 Today, our team bought some apple juice boxes and cookies so they would enjoy eating a snack and be ready to spend a day full of fun with us!

Do You want a Snack?

Unforgettable Friends!

by Carlos Velásquez | April 30, 2024 9:28 PM

We have met several people during our trip so far but no one has been more unique than Abraham. A man redeemed and restored by God who is always full of joy, reciting poems and sharing his happiness with all of us.
Unforgettable Friends!

Praying as One

by Carlos Velásquez | April 30, 2024 9:32 PM

After lunch, the girls from our team took time to share some of their stories with the women from these communities. They shared some Guatemalan recipes with us and asked us to never stop praying for them and their lives.

Praying as One

Basketball time!

by Carlos Velásquez | May 2, 2024 1:52 PM

During our last day, our teammates did their best to enjoy their time with their little kids while playing soccer, basketball and much more games.

Basketball time!

Goooool!

by Carlos Velásquez | May 2, 2024 1:57 PM

Many little kids really enjoyed playing soccer. Not thinking about school, homework, issues at home, none of that. Just a lot of fun with some very tall guys who spoke the same sport language, GOOOOOL!

Goooool!

Provecho!

by Carlos Velásquez | May 2, 2024 2:04 PM

After a long time playing games, we took a break to sit down on the shade, talk and then our teammates served over 118 meals to kids, teenagers and adults, giving them the opportunity to relax and enjoy a nice time as a family in Christ.
Provecho!

Pray for one another.

by Carlos Velásquez | May 2, 2024 2:09 PM

After lunch, we divided men and women in two different teams and the girls from our team shared their testimonies, got into very good and deep conversations and at last, they prayed for all those women while they were also praying for our team.

Pray for one another.

One family in Christ

by Carlos Velásquez | May 3, 2024 9:04 AM

After laughing, talking and praying for one another our team took a picture with the girls from Sakerti, La Limonada and other communities as a way to remember them until they come back again.

One family in Christ

The Hill of the Cross!

by Carlos Velásquez | May 3, 2024 9:06 AM

Our team took a day off to rest, relax and celebrate with our local pastor Edwin (Shorty) and what a better way to do it than visiting such an iconic lookout spot like the Hill of the Cross.
