The Juanidee Method

Today was our first day working at the church in San Jorge, Zacapa. We worked on building a cement block wall to protect the church and provide a parking and recreational area. We got 5 rows done on the wall and will continue to work on it over the week. There also were three children [...]

The destination to the journey

Greetings from Zacapa! We all got up this morning around 3am, some of us after a few hours sleep, some with maybe 30 minutes and arrived at the hotel in Zacapa around 5:30 pm local time. Thank you all for your prayers. We had ZERO issues with the trip here. Such a huge blessing to [...]

Dig here for life.

12 Stone has a tradition with all of their missions’ teams. Where ever they go, a bible is taken to be buried in the ground. Along with it comes a piece of our earth to become part of their earth. Last night (Tuesday) was the night we decided to do this. After dinner, our team [...]

When you wake up, that’s when you know.

Last day in Atitlan… I just wanted to assure everyone that our three team members who had to go to Guatemala have returned safe and sound and with their new passports. It was a tremendous God-filled experience for them and everything is ok. Thanks for prayers

Jesus and Boogers.

That is essentially what we got today… a little Jesus and a little bit of boogers. VBS was a blast today. Our topic was “Jesus is our light.” He is the light of the world. We had fun playing games and eating snacks. It was great, but prayers have been answered. Yesterday kids had never [...]
