After a smooth journey to Guatemala, we started our day with a VBS at the school at Camp Calvary. We told the story of creation, painted “found” objects (mostly rocks), and played oh-so-many games of fútbol. Coloring books were colored, fingernails were painted, and hugs were given.
Then we packed 40 food bags and hiked up the mountain to 8 homes to deliver some of the food. We prayed with families and even sang happy birthday to one of the boys and his family. (He turned 15 today!) Afterwards we hiked back down to hand out backpacks and school supplies to school families, whose school year has just begun.
It was a full first day, but a good day. And a good initial reminder that God is the God of all people, and He is doing amazing things in Guatemala.
Thank you all for praying us through our journey yesterday. Please continue to pray with us for:
1. Health and safety.
2. That all the students would fully engage in the work we are doing, allowing the Holy Spirit to work in their hearts and change their perspective.
3. Flexibility as we work in a culture that isn’t as structured or predictable as we are used to.
