Good morning from Guatemala!  You have obviously come to this blog in order to follow our GRACE Ministries team.  Thank you for your interest.

My wife, Lisa, our daughter, Dana, and I were joined by all of the other members of this team around 4:00PM local time yesterday afternoon, 6/23.  Flights originated from Mobile, Gulfport, New Orleans, Birmingham and Montgomery with everyone meeting in Atlanta and flying together from there on Delta.  I have time give Delta props for doing a really nice job of taking care of our team!  The leader at the Mobile desk, Bobby, was especially helpful.  We are very thankful to Delta and we give God the glory for safe flights.

Pastor Keith Martin led the team from the Guatemala City airport out to GRACE mountain with a stop in San Lucas for lunch at McDonalds.  The traffic was extremely heavy but he and the other three drivers did well.

Upon arrival, we had a brief team meeting before settling into our rooms.  We then made our way down to the mall around 6:00PM for supper and some down time.  Once back on the mountain folks began getting ready to retire for the night as they had all left their respective homes really early and were physically tired.

This morning we will have our devotional time beginning at 7:00AM.  Pastor Jordan and Lana Lollar will lead our musical worship and Pastor Keith will bring us a word from the Word.  It will be a good morning!  We will then load up and head West to begin ministering through house building.  We have several who will remain on GRACE mountain in order to work with the children in the feeding center.

I am delighted to have Pastor Keith (Kennedy Baptist), Pastor Jordan (Ethelsville Baptist) and Pastor BJ Parson (Thelma Baptist) join us in leading this team.  Also, Nic Gray (New Life Baptist) is along with several of his folks and having Nic is just like having another pastor on board.  We have deacons and other key church leaders with us too so we are blessed.

Pray for us.  Thank you for checking on us.  Updates to follow, Lord willing.
