Máxima Mision

Family and Friends,

It has been a wonderful, yet tiring week for us in Guatemala. The Máxima Mision team with 40 people (10 adults and 30 teens) from Michigan arrived on Wednesday and it has been non-stop activity ever since. We have planted two new churches in two different parts of Guatemala City.

Both churches needed some construction work. The team has built two new classrooms for one church and added a wall to another church. A sidewalk has been built as well as much painting and cleaning.

In addition, lots of energy has been spent on making the Bible Schools really fun and exciting for the kids. The team has done the Bible School nine times in five days! Wow! One time was outside a local mall where there were at least 200 people in attendance. Another was just this morning in a local school where more than 500 children attend. The team also did a dental clinic with the children to show them how to brush their teeth correctly.

Two evenings the team showed the Jesus Film near the churches. It was a truly a miracle that we had no rain during the showings as it has rained for nearly every evening for three weeks. It was amazing to see the beautiful clear skies filled with stars. The film was well received and after both showings there was a great prayer time.
Great times of prayer and celebration after the Jesus films in both locations, Colinas de Minerva and Villa Nueva.

A highlight for our family was attending the first service in one of these locations, Colinas de Minerva. After working in the community for a few days, we were unsure if anyone would come for the first service. At first it was just our family and Pastor Daniel, but then the people started coming. First some children, and then a few adults and soon we were a group of 36 people for the initial service in this humble church. We were blessed beyond measure as Daniel spoke about the need to produce good fruit with our lives. It was a great Lord’s Day!

We have a few requests this week as we prepare to travel to Mexico on Friday for One Heart, Many Hands work projects.

Pray that we will recover from colds and sinus problems (probably a result of lots of dust and concrete mixing).

Pray that we’ll have no problems extending the children’s visas on Tuesday.

Pray that we’ll have no issues as we cross the border into Mexico, particularly with our vehicle which is not yet in our name, but in the name of the church. This could be a problem.

Pray that our travel to Mexico will be safe and that we’ll have a fruitful time of ministry during the week.

Gracias por Todos!
