Many of you know recently I went down to Guatemala for a trip to love God down there and see what He is doing. This was my first time down to Central America and it was awesome. My trip down there was a duel purpose. I was blessed enough to have some friends offer to support me in getting my teeth fixed by a dentist friend down there and I was joining a team from New Hampshire there.
The first day I got there I met everyone and hopped in the dentist chair for an overhaul. In 2 and a half hours he did 14 fillings and 2 root canals then we went to the house of a local pastor and prayed for hi son who was going through soe body pain. We spent the night there and then headed to Zacapa for a few days. There we taught in a school in a near-by town called Aqua Fria and visited a local church. We also went and spoke in school and challenged the kids to a game of soccer. We lost, haha.
This country is amazing. There is a sense of dedication and family here. Even the poorest love eachother. There is a sense of relational riches that the people seem to understand more then Americans do.
God is moving in Guatemala! We put on a concert in Guatemala City and you can see the hunger in the way they worship. This is a country that will be restored by the mercy of God.
In closing I would ask you all to be praying for this country. The night I left the volcano erupted and destroyed many homes and left many families, women, and children displaced. This is not being given much news attention so I want you all to be aware of the need there. Please pray and if you would like to find out mmore on how to help, watch this.
Thanks friends.
