05-27-12, Day One, Sunday Construction

We have another great opportunity to serve the Lord in Guatemala City. We had a ladies team leave on May 26th and the construction team is leaving today May 27th.
The women's team will be working with families and ladies in the landfill, and ladies and families at El Camino Church. The construction team will be working in the landfill helping with housing, putting together clean burning wood stoves, and possibly some concrete flooring. We also hope to do some construction at the new school lot. We will work on the play court area or the school building itself. We cannot wait till that new space opens for the children and teachers.
The construction mission team consist of Yale Moore, David Waldrip, Jimmy Martin, Babe Campbell, Tom Bryant, Dale Stauffer, Elizabeth Stauffer, Jason Dykes, Jimmy McGowan, James Lester, Mike Beard, Charles Pharr, Richard Hunt, Robert Puckett, and Bill Risinger.
Presently we are waiting on the plane waiting for the flight to take off, we are looking at a 1-2 hour delay, due to engine problems. We will make the most of it, but the team is anxious to get to Guatemala to connect with friends and start the work. Keep us in your prayers this week. Pray specifically we will serve well, will stay well, and have lots of opportunity to encourage believers and share the Gospel Story with many.
When the question was asked of some of our team members, "what do you want to see happen this week?", here were a few of the responses...

"that people will begin a relationship with Jesus Christ"... And..."to fulfill God's objectives"

"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."(Romans 12:1, 2 ESV)
