La respuesta a un llamado

"Pero Jesus llamo a los niños y dijo: Dejen que los niños vengan a mi y no se lo impidain por que el reino de Dios es de <QUIENES SON COMO ELLOS>" Lucas 18:16 Estas ultimas semanas en Panajachel hemos tenido el privilegio de compartir el amor de Dios no solo con palabras sino tambien con hechos como es mencionado en 1 de Juan 3:18, en un pequeño orfanatorio localizado a las orillas de la ciudad de Solola. Esta casa hogar de niños esta compuesta por un grupo de 22 niños y niñas de las edades de 6 meses en adelante. El Señor nos...

Treasures amid the trash

On Monday, we went to the dump to talk to people, pray with them, and invite them to a program the following day.  The next morning we spent several hours preparing for the event: buying a piñata, cookies and juice for the kids, rice and beans for the families, a couple pairs of boots, collecting clothes, and planning the program. As we sat in the van, heading to the dump on Tuesday, we had absolutely no idea of what to expect. God worked in a huge way! Let me try to paint this picture for you. As we pulled into the entrance of the dump, an hour late, crowds of children and...

Ask The Lord

Today we were suppose to go back and teach at an orphanage that we´ve been visiting in a different city but there was a lot of rain last night and caused a mud slide which was blocking the main road to get to Solola (the town its in) so we couldnt go today. Instead, our leaders gave us 200Q and told us to take a boat to another surrounding city around the lake to do an ATL (Ask The Lord). We´ve done this a lot in Pana, but never anywhere else so we were really excited and nervious at the same time. I was put in a team with Walt, Tashem, and Alaina. We prayed,...

Life is Beautiful

On Saturday morning I had the opportunity to do something extreme, and rather out of character, that I had never done before… motorcycling and dirt biking (Uncle Kenny, Kyle, and Grant… I know you guys won’t believe me until I put up pictures, so be patient)!  Anyways… three of my teammates and I rode with members of the church for a morning of fellowship.  For over three hours, on an absolutely beautiful day, we rode around Lake Atitlán and I am convinced that I got the best view of Guatemala!  The morning was a wonderful time of...

Finding My Own Flame

"I don´t wanna ride on somebody else´s passion, I don´t wanna find that I´m just dry bones, I wanna burn with unquenchable fire, deep down inside see it coming alive." This past week God has really beenspeaking to me and convicting me.  I truly love living and working on the field.  It is easy for me and I´ve been waiting all summer to hear where God is calling me next just like He called me to Guatemala in April.  God has been telling me loud and clear that it is time to go home and speak truth and life into my family and...
