Buenas Noches,
After a few hours of delays we have arrived in Guatemala City. One of our team members is still on route as they took a different airlines, but we expect to see her tomorrow. Much of the delays and problems with getting on flights was attributed to the east coast having storms and planes just either not available or delayed.
The entry into Guatemala City area was beautiful. Included a picture of the Lake and volcano where we will be serving on Wednesday and Thursday, as well as a picture of the city.
We met with our Guatemalan team at the airport and we headed to the retreat area to get settled before having supper.
After Supper we put together 150 dental kits for the children tomorrow morning at the Precious Moments school. We anticipate that we will interact with the children, as they wait to see the dentist. The clinic is set up only for 1/2 days and we'll have time for face painting, making balloon animals, making a craft on the tower of Babel and share Christs love with them.
The afternoon session is working with Jr and Sr high students on drug educations, teamwork, trust and faith activities. We have a total of three activities with them and we plan on working with 75 students.
Please pray that our last team member arrives safely tomorrow.
Blessings,
Terry
We were able to get everything packed this evening and we had Tim Brands lead us tonight in prayer. Our ministry has already begun and we start our travel to Guatemala City tomorrow morning at 5:00AM. We expect to arrive in Guatemala City by 1:00 CDT or 12:00 noon Guatemala time.
We do ask for prayer for a few specific areas during our time in Guatemala City.
- Safe Travel - Not only flying, but driving in the city and surrounding areas.
- Good Health - Keep us from having any illnesses from food or injury.
- Effective Ministries - We meet the needs of those we work with physically and spiritually.
- Team Unity - We maintain a strong bond with our team, encouragement and helping each other.
- Spiritual growth for our Guatemalan partners - They would expand their outreach through this ministry.
- Sharing the love of Christ - Language of love, serving and being a good witness to those that we meet.
- Decisions for Christ - Response to the gospel and desire to make a personal commitment to Christ.
- Service - Our hearts will be open to God's leading at all times.
- Logistics - Flight connections, security, our coworkers/companies won't need us and passports won't be lost.
Thank you for partnering with us in prayer. I will update the blog and I am assured that I will have an internet connection.
Dios te Bendiga!
Terry Dull, Denice Dull, Danielle Dull, Marie McCarthy and Linda Breen
