Good morning from Guatemala!
Marito and I are getting ready to take the youth on a picnic/outdoor day at a park in San Lucas which is a town not too far away. I am very excited to go because I know the youth need small excursions to hang out and grow together in Christ. When no one pays attention to the youth in the church, we have to wonder what will happen to them when the older people pass and then it's the next generations' turn to move up and take on leadership roles. Without planting seeds into the youth, the church will not continue once everyone else is gone. We are so happy to be the new youth leaders here at Mount Sinai Evangelical Mission church here in Guatemala. God will move and these youth will grow and hopefully they will learn to follow his lead no matter what, living a life that pleases him.
Another part of ministry we have here in Guatemala as many of you may already know is Mount Sinai Christian Preschool. We are planning for next school year, trying to make it a legal formal Christian academy. Part of that process requires creating new documents and executing all the steps needed. It requires lots of time and patience. A few Guatemalan ladies and I will continue to finish these requirements after my journey to the states for a while. In the states I will be sharing vision and programs with churches and individuals as well as fundraising for Marito and I to continue working here and the preschool. Both are so important. Funding the missionary and the project to have people serving and working with the people. Both are important to see that these people can come across Jesus' love. Please pray for us as we watch God at work. Please pray for funds and the trivia night fundraiser. Pray that people will come to join us, people will Love Sponsor the teachers and children and pray that people will share how God is at work with everyone they know. God is soooo good and so big! He loves the whole world and I feel so blessed to be apart of his work here in Guatemala...See you USA in about 5 days! :)
Blessings!
