This recap is a couple of days late but I did want to briefly share the end results of what this team did during their time in Guatemala. First, we thank God for getting us home safely. The bubbas & bubbaettes had no problems but our Yankee friends met some challenges along the way. However, all is well that ends well and we all arrived home safe and sound!
This team conducted three medical clinics which allowed them to see in excess of 700 folks. They distributed “tons” of medicine and did one surgery. One of the ladies from Santo Domingo Xenacoj will be taken to the hospital either tomorrow or Wednesday to find out what is going on with her heart. Thanks to Eugene and Louise for doing the follow up on this situation. John & Laurie King did an excellent job of getting the medical clinic sites ready.
This team also had one member help with a dental clinic on Thursday. They saw a number of patients and had a good day of ministry at the Palabra Viva Church.
This team built and dedicated fifteen houses to the glory of God! There were some sites that were challenging to get to but they did well. Fifteen families have had their lives improved a bit as they have moved from corn stalk huts to tin houses. Thanks to the churches and individuals who helped make these houses a reality!
This team painted the inside of a house and office at the seminary in Chimaltenango. They faced some challenges but got the job done without any problems.
This team mixed and poured the equivalent of fifteen houses of cement in two days at the Rios de Agua Viva Church. Our recent teams have really helped improve the buildings and grounds of that church and the church membership is happy!
This team enjoyed some great fellowship and time in God’s Word. As usual, Carla Mast did a wonderful job of leading our musical worship.
Our next trip with openings is scheduled for November 18 – 25, 2008. We will do another medical trip in February of next year. Contact me if you have an interest in being a part of either of these trips.
Thank you for your prayer support. We had a blessed trip! God is awesome!
