The team spent the morning dedicating the houses that were built this week.  Lazaro and a Chimaltenango pastor helped dedicate the houses by praying and presenting the gospel to each family.  They witnessed seven people accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior!  Please pray for the local pastor as he disciples these people.  May we never forget that our focus in Guatemala is to win people to the Lord.  The Lord used a group of North Americans to build a 12×12 tin house in order to change their lives for eternity!  If you have ever invested money, time, talent, or prayers in GRACE ministries then you are making an eternal difference in the lives of people!  I stand amazed and humbled that God would even allow us to have the privilege of furthering His kingdom.  May the message of salvation be loud and clear!  He is worthy of our praise!

The afternoon was spent ministering to a local village through food distribution.  The team saw approximately 150 families.  It was a joy to have several Guatemalan families join the team for a hot dog supper.

This team is filled with a group of talented men and women.  The men have helped repair a ceiling fan, tighten a sink, and fix the generators.  This group also gave a generous donation towards the purchase of a new freezer for the mission house.  The freezer was purchased today and it is already being used!  We are extremely grateful because the freezer will be very beneficial for the future teams. The team has expressed their appreciation for allowing them to stay at the mission house, but we are thrilled to have them serve with us.

Please pray for their safety as they travel back to the USA.  Pray for Bro. Jerry’s team as they travel to Guatemala.
