Day 2 of our Service Ministry

Buenas Noches
It was a long day  of service today coupled with a nice church service and coffee at the pastors home.










The day started out with a delicious Guatemalan breakfast at the Hostel. (egg prepared in a slice of bell pepper, frijoles, ham, plantains and cheese)

We went to the church and team helped prepare the meal, performed puppet shows, puppets performed El Sapo, did some crafts with the children, shared some hugs and communicated in Spanish the best we could.





After we had lunch, the team helped clean up the kitchen and did some dishes.

We had our afternoon VBS and we engaged the children with Luis (VBS leader) in playing games, songs and a story. We needed to get back to the Hostel to have our dinner and then return to the church for the evening service. The evening service was focused on scripture, sermon and prayer. I was asked to prepare a sermon and the sermon to challenge the church on seeking the lost was received well. We then closed in prayer, as the Guatemalans laid hands on our team and prayed for us in Spanish. We then prayed for the church, the pastors and leaders for their continued ministry and spreading of the gospel in their community.

One of our team members, Joyce, gave her testimony in Spanish. The church really enjoyed her testimony and were impressed on how well she spoke to them in Spanish.

After church, we were invited to the pastors home for coffee. In which turned into more than just coffee, we had some excellent sweet bread, eggs with tomatoes, salsa, rolls and chocolate. We had a great time getting to know his wife, his large family, some of the church members and sharing the love of Christ.

We arrived back at the Hostel at 10:30 tonight and the team didn't waste too much time getting to bed. Tomorrow we start the dental clinic and I will spend time in the schools working with older kids to show them the effects of drugs and share a testimonial of a man that struggled with drugs for 20 years.

Continue to keep us in prayer.
Dios Bendiga!
