If you have never been on a Mission Trip you need to be watching for annoucements of upcoming mission trips! It will change your life!

GUATEMALA UPDATE 3

We have finished Friday. We had a great time at a school and then returned to the Eagles nest held those sweet babies a while. The days have been long and I know all are tired---usual mission trip! Yesterday and today we had a Canadian lady as our interpreter, she was very good and a Christian. Both schools welcomed us. Today's school, the principal was a Christian and we openly spoke of accepting Christ as their Savior. We are having a great time - please continue to pray for us as we get near the end of our trip and we begin to run out of energy!!

GUATEMALA UPDATE 2

We had a long and rewarding day today,( Thursday.) We started at 6:30 with breakfast and drove to a remote school. Karen told her testimony and a Bible story to four different groups of children (180-200 total). We went to schools that hadn't been visited before. We openly told the children about the need to accept Christ as their Savior and the school master was grateful to us for coming.

We are preparing for another school on Friday, about the same size. Keep praying for our team and for the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of these children and adult teachers that hear the Gospel.

GUATEMALA UPDATE

Well after having a rough start, (our flight arrived at Dallas ten minutes before the departure of the next. When we arrived there was a van waiting for us and they held the connecting flight, so we made it) thing went much smoother once we were in Guatemala. At the Guatemala City airport, there was almost no screening and we found the motel shuttle outside which was great.

Tuesday we left on the vans to Antigua, had a great meal and did a little shopping. We arrived at Eagles Nest at 4:30 pm. We spent the evening holding the babies at the orphanage.

Today, (Wednesday) we bought some material for aprons, and painted a fence. We made 200 balloon animals getting ready for a school on Thursday. We need to be up early to be at school by 8am. Pray that the Holy Spirit will help us relate Gods word to the children.
