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...

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....

Within the past week God has revealed to me that I have been stuck in a prison of comparison.  In one instance, I had just finished praying for a numerous amount of people and was feeling so connected to God.  I have learned that the enemy strikes and feeds me lies when I am beginning to trust more and more in God.  As everyone else on the team started telling about their experiences, I immediately got down on myself with thoughts of not being adequate enough to be used by God.  As I snapped out of it I realized that God DID use me and teach me something, just in a...

Mannnnn Where to start?                 First blog of the summer!! Rachel and Don you have my apologies. J Anyway, where in the world should I begin?? 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,...

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”...

This past week families from the church adopted two people from our team and I got the opportunity to be paired with Megan. Our family consists of a married couple, Carlos and Miriam and their three sons Carlos, Abraham, and Isai (God works through this 4 year old already and its evident).  Miriam is such a strong believer in Christ and probably has the most faith out of any woman or man I have ever met. From just being around her a few times eating with her family, I feel like my faith has been strengthened so much more and have learned so much. Every word that she says I want to pay...
