It is Sunday night, June 3rd, and all of the team is here, the last ones having arrived sometime after midnight last night. Church this morning was at New Life Church in the chapel at the Seminary in Chimalentango. It was good to worship and take communion with our brothers and sisters in Christ. The common ground of a relationship with Christ knows no difference in skin color or language.
We have just finished a meeting where assignments have been made as to who will work where. Some are going to Amor del Nino to paint walls, do repairs, and feed and rock babies. Some will assist Manuel Chavez, a dentist, to provide dental care to folks in el Tejar. Some will start building houses near el Tejar. The goal is to build six houses complete with a rocket stove. These stoves are a blessing to the people here who do most of their cooking inside the house with green wood which contributes to respiratory diseases. The rocket stove has a chimney to take the smoke out of the house. A couple of the pastors at Foothills Bible Church will meet with some pastors near Guatemala City with perhaps a pastor's conference in mind or some teaching and training of pastors in the near future.
We are looking forward to a good week ministering to and being blessed by the people of Guatemala.
Please pray for the team as they go separate ways tomorrow, for safety, for good health, and for Christlike attitudes.
Luisa
