Today's The Day

Today at 10:05 AM is when our group is scheduled to depart from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. For many in our group, this will be their first Guatemala experience...for others, like myself, we have been a few times, and everyone else that falls in between. Regardless of whether the person is a newbie or a seasoned veteran...this trip will be life altering. It is impossible to come back from the beautiful country of Guatemala unchanged! We will see amazing landscapes. Inactive volcanoes soaring into the clouds, covered with every shade of green vegetation you could possibly imagine; a great reminder of the intricate details that God put into His Creation. Cobble-stone streets surrounded by rows and rows of Spanish style buildings in their typical faded yellows and reds. And so much more. But, we will also experience God in a fresh and new way. We will come back different. We will look the same, but we will not be the same!

A Few Pre-trip Interviews

Less than a week

There is less than one week to go until our group of 28 high school students and adults travel to Guatemala City, Guatemala! We will be working in the landfill that is located in Zone 3, widely known from the documentary entitled 'Recycled Life' which can be watched on YouTube. In the landfill we will build/rebuild homes, pour cement floors, and install stoves. We will also work for two days at Rayitos de Esperanza, the school that our church supports, leading a VBS and loving on the children.

Saul, the pastor of Iglesia El Camino, has been a great connection for our groups in the past and our group will be working with him the whole week. He has had a tremendous influence in the lives of the people living in his church's community, including the people of the landfill. Saul meets physical needs by giving away clothing and food, but always shares the loving message of the Gospel while working!

Please pray as our team prepares to leave for Guatemala City this week!
