More Greetings From Guatemala

Joyce & Oscar (one of the Guatemalan missionaries)

Greetings from Guatemala! The team is a bit tired tonight after a day in the sun, making home visits, and presenting to over 300 children this afternoon. Randy and Joyce got to meet their sponsored children today and give them a few gifts and a lot of hugs. The Guatemala mission team took us to the “Lake” which is set in a beautiful volcanic valley. Boaters could be seen enjoying the day sailing on the breezy green sea. Yes, green! Ask anyone on the team all about it.

On a more spiritual note…God has been working here among the team and the Guatemalans’. Growing in faith while sharing ours, growing in hope as we believe and see all that is possible, and growing in love for God, His work, and all people. Ten very different people came to this city and country to witness to the Guatemalan’s. Ten will return changed by the grace of God in way too difficult to explain. We have seen Jesus, we have seen hope among destitute people, joy among those who have next to nothing and are content, love willing to give from what little they have all because they hold tight to the Lord and his love and forgiveness. It is this mission team that has been changed. It is through this place and God’s ability to work in the hearts of those he has chosen to serve. We have been given a great privilege, one we hope will last for a lifetime. God’s work will continue here when we leave. My prayer is that it will also continue in each person touched by the love of God and the Guatemalans.
