The Guatemala team arrived in Honduras and has since crossed the border into Guatemala and is currently with their host and getting settled into their housing for the summer.    The team will spend the coming days getting introduced to their ministry, coming to know the culture, and finding a routine for the summer ahead.  They will be finding internet in the next couple of days so that they can communicate home and share more about what their days and weeks will look like.  Until then, we wanted to let you know that all is well.  Hope that you’re as excited...

There seems to be some problems with the AIM phone system, affecting the Emergency Line, this weekend as the office is closed for the Easter weekend. Please note the following change to how to access the Emergency Line, if you should need it.    Call 770.983.1060. When the recording comes on, dial Extension 393. This will connect you to the Emergency Line.     – Passport Field Support

I just spoke with the team leaders and the team has arrived safely in Guatemala.  They are in route to their ministry site via a five hour bus ride and will be settling in these next few days and getting some orientation from their host.  Expect to see some blogs rolling out in the next few days as they find internet. Thanks for all the prayers for this team! Kayla Hindes Passport field support team

Fourth of July isn’t celebrated here obviously, because it’s Guatemala. But our awesome leaders decided to plan a fun day for us. We went to the beach about an hour away from here and got to swim and eat some traditional Guatemalan food. It was so delicious! Then as if that wasn’t enough, we got domino’s for dinner! It was a nice taste of home. Finally, to top it all off we took turns hitting a pinata at the house and eating lots of candy. Anyways, it was an awesome 4th of July and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Besides our fun holiday, we have been doing...

The past two weeks have been a blur. We have done so many ministries, but also had a lot of free time. We have been to the special needs school, the nursing home, the park, the Children’s hospital, the garbage dump, the orphanage, and prostitute ministry.  We have also gotten to go to lots of churches here and lead a few worship songs and share testimonies.  We went to one church in the mountains and I was so encouraged by their joy for the Lord.  They danced and laughed during their worship and were so welcoming to us!  I love the joy people have here despite...
