Pulling Weeds

The Holy Spirit is moving in Panajachel. As a team we arrived two o'clock on Wednesday morning. After catching up on some sleep and assessing some of our construction projects a group of us headed to a local internet cafe so we could let our friends and family know that we were alive.  While we were there we met the owner of the cafe.  After talking to him for a little bit we learned that his name was Victor, he was thirty years old, and he was from Honduras.  As we began to explain why we were in Panajachel, we could see the curiosity build in Victor's eyes. He was...

Send Me….I’ll Go!

For months I have been praying that my faith in Christ would be like that of a child and that God would be revealed to me daily in Panajachel.  Within 5 days of being here, God has gone far beyond answering those simple prayers.  Here, the simplicity of my faith and understanding of God's love is much greater than I could have ever asked for.  To me, this city brings life.  A joy and abundant amount of satisfaction than any other place.  With its colorful beauty and rich culture, it is almost like I've stepped into a dream.  I no longer need to be...

What if His people prayed?

What if His people prayed?   What if the armies of the Lord Picked up and dusted off their swords vowed to set the captive free and not let Satan have one more   What if the church for heaven’s sake Finally stepped up to the plate Took a stand upon God’s promise and stormed Hell’s rusty gates     This song by Casting Crowns has been on my mind since we arrived in Guatemala on Wednesday. Our team is praying.   We are praying for HUGE things! We are boldly proclaiming that God is going to move and take down strong holds in Guatemala.   And God...

Me gusta…Guatemala!

Guatemala. I’ve been here a total of three full days and there are four things I am sure of.  One, I am now aware of the feeling of constant sweating and one of the worst things that can happen to you is to have the power go off at night, thus killing your fan and one source of relief.  Two, driving in Guatemala means doing whatever you want, whenever you want. Hey, it’s only a ton of metal flying around…how dangerous could that be? Three, ice cold water is a rare and precious gift, something worthy of praising God for (And something you can buy...

Home Visits

Before arriving here we were cautioned that this place is heavily soaked in spiritual warfare. We have spent much time in prayer and interceding that the peoples hearts soften and are open to the movement of the spirit. The words that have been replaying in my mind are “the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few”.  Yesterday we went out in groups of about four to visit homes and begin relationships. The second house our group went to a woman was outside washing clothes in the “pila” and I asked her if she would teach the eager “gringas” how...

Guatemalan Adventures

Yesterday we did a prayer walk, and then split up and did some house visits.  It was really good to get to invest into actual relationships with the people of our community… My group saw a woman outside washing her clothes on the pilla, and we offered to help.  She was so confused/ecstatic that we wanted to do her laundry… So, she and her daughter taught us how, and I played with the three little boys.  The house was filled with laughter the entire time… Even with the little Spanish I know, I was able to have a great time with the children.  The...
