We were warmly greeted by the director of the school. The children came to the dental clinic one classroom at a time. We saw three classrooms of 2nd - 4th grader children today which was around 75 children.
As the children waited we shared a Bible story and a craft on the tower of Babel. The children used their creative skills to make the tower out of construction paper squares on one side of the paper and on the other was 10 different languages of a simple, "Hello" greeting. We will be back to the school tomorrow to work with K-1st and 5th-6th grade children.
After we finished up with the school we were able to go to the airport pick up our team member that had flight delays from Sunday.
We got a lunch along the way to the school in San Jose Pinula.
At the school we visited three classrooms of Jr. high students. We were able to engage these students with the teamwork exercises with drug and spiritual content. Both of the activities came with much enthusiasm from the students and they participated in the discussions afterwards. The Guatemalan team leader prayed with each classroom and the students had the opportunity to accept Christ or recommit their life. Each student filled out an information card so the church could reach out to them, so they could become part of their youth program at the church. 2/3 of the students accepted Christ or recommitted their life to Christ. Many of them also wanted to have the church contact them too. We have one more day at this school tomorrow with the high school students.
