 Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German pastor, once said, When God calls a man, he bids him to come and die, to die to self for the cause of God's love for humanity, to pick up your cross and follow him. Jesus said, Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you, and surely I am with you always, even to the very end of the age. A wise man once told us, The mission does not start once you get here, and it doesn't end once you leave. A mission trip is more than that. Our mission is this, that from the mountains and hills of Guatemala to the valleys and coastlines, we have seen all colors, creeds, cultures, men, women, boys and girls restored to their rightful positions as sons and daughters, families truly restored. With God's help, we were able to take 16 God-filled men and women, 30 full-sized luggages filled with clothes, shoes and toys, 12 wood-burning stoves that would provide homes with better ventilation from toxic fumes, seven bunk beds, two full beds, and two mattresses for different families. We were able to take water filters for local churches that would help purify water for decades to come. More than 40 people accepted Jesus Christ for the first time, and as we pushed the name of Jesus across Guatemala, over 80% of the people were healed. We have truly seen the mighty hand of God move powerfully. While in Guatemala, we had an amazing opportunity to serve at a local church, where we led the people into an intimate time of worship, where we prayed alongside of them for their country and upcoming elections. We testified about all the miracles, signs and wonders God had been doing across the country. We shared the gospel message of Jesus that saves, heals, and delivers. We saw many more salvation and healings, and yet even others recommitted their lives to following Jesus. We also had opportunities to love on the children, from bounce house outreaches for the community, to serving ice cream to over 300 kids at an orphanage, and loving on disabled children. We even had the privilege of curating two full services for children, with worship, games, crafts, and a word. By the end, children were walking in the power of God and healing other children. With your financial support, we were able to bless one missionary family, one orphanage that has housed approximately 6,000 children over the last 30 years, one feeding center, a few churches, and one mission base for construction. A lesson we are learning is in remembering the words of our Lord Jesus Himself. He said, it is more blessed to give than to receive. In our short time in Guatemala, we have seen the lost, saved, the sick, healed, the blind now see, the deaf now hear. The name of God is lifted high over the country of Guatemala.
