Guatemala 2024
Instead of the usual blog post this week, I’m going to simply share some pictures with you to check out from our recent missions trip to Guatemala (March 2-9). We visited the Arms of Jesus Children’s mission and lead chapels, we built 5 houses, delivered food to people living at the local dump, and visited two other public schools that the Arms of Jesus supports.
It was a lot to do, and left us with a lot to process. Overall, we were amazed at how people with so little were so content with the grace of God in their lives and not much more. They showed us what it is not only to be content in all circumstances, but even to “rejoice in the Lord always.” We are so grateful for the time we spent with the people of Antigua and Parramos. Sharing with you on Sunday will be a wonderful experience. Bless you all!
