The team had a usual/unusual Sunday.  Most of the men made their way down to the GRACE Community Church at 8:00AM for a breakfast with some of the men from the church.  Dr. Rich Strabbing brought a message to that group and he did a really nice job.

All of the team then attended the service at the church.  It featured the ministry of the men’s quartet from the Great Commission Church in the village where this team is building.  Carla Mast led the North Americans in sharing two musical selections before the musical leadership team from the church led a couple of songs.  Pastor Lazaro then preached in English and his daughter, Marsha, translated.  Pastor Lazaro brought a good message.  The invitation was special.

The team then headed to El Rodeo to give food bags and a meal to two hundred and fifty families.  That translated to around seven hundred people.  Pastor Max Lara preached.  It was a blessed opportunity for the team as they witnessed some of the devastation from the volcano’s eruption last year.

As soon as the team got back to the mountain they gathered in the feeding center for supper where they were joined by about forty Guatemalans.  These were families who have sponsors on this trip.  Special meal.  Special time.

So, good Sunday.  God is faithful.  Keep praying.
