A few days ago we went on an ATL adventure (Ask the Lord). Our team was split into two groups and each group was given a packet with directions, money and our leader’s phone numbers in case of an emergency. Before we set off, our group spent some time praying, asking God for His direction and for Him to do abundantly more than we could ask or imagine. Soon, the time for departure arrived and the 6 of us headed down the street to find a bus that would take us to the Puerto Barrios market.   We successfully hailed a bus and were safely on our way when suddenly we stopped....

After living in a relatively small community for a month, you find out a lot about each person’s personality. The good, the bad, the funny, the weird. You also find out what main role each person plays. You’ve got the Peppy Pablo—always cheering you on, the Maternal Melanie—need ANYTHING a pharmacy carries?, the Energetic Evan—probably didn’t need that last pot of coffee, dear, and the Keep Crackin’ Jokes Kelly—no matter what, they’ve got the laughs. Some of us take on different roles at different times, but it’s important to know...

I must say that the mission has been a success since I have been in panajachel. The Lord is doing amazing things and it is getting better and better by the moment. I remember our first 48 hrs in panajachel, Megan, Sam and I led an un-believer to Jesus Christ and it was only less than 48 hours of our stay! Honestly, I took this sign as a confirmation from the Lord, that we were needed in Pana. Since then many people came to know Jesus as Lord. But it is not by our power but by the Lord´s and for his Glory, alone. From visting dump sites, swatting killer gnats and picking up my cross...

First I would like to give a shout out to my team. I have grown closer to some people, but everyone is unique in their way of helping me become more Christ like. I would not trade any of you for someone else. BELIEVE THAT!! My second shout out goes to the most intriguing spiritual man I have met in all my 21 years. It is honor working under Pastor Ben in Panajachel,...

L autre jour, alors que nous etions suppose aller aider le pasteur a ravailler sur le bord du la,  Darren et moi sommes aller samuser dans un betau qui etait a moitie innode dans leau. Nous avons troue de la peinture, alors nous nous sommes empresser de nous couvrir tout le corps de peiture simplement pour niaiser. Ce que nous ne savions pas a ce moment, cest que la peinture etait faite a base dune huile puissante pour bateau, ce qui oulait ire que la peinture ne...

Well, we’ve past the half-way point for this incredibly life-changing summer!  I’ve done things I never thought I would, met some absolutely amazing people, and witnessed the healing hand of God.  There is simply no way for me to tell you everything that God has been teaching me, so I’ll fill you in on one of the “themes” that keeps reoccurring.  For those of you that know me well, you know that I am grounded, need a plan, enjoy being in charge, and thrive off of order.  Unfortunately (or fortunately), the word “plan”...
