Team Work

We went grocery shopping to buy supplies to assemble 15 bags that are going to bless some families in a community in Guatemala City. 

We worked together as a team to assemble the bags.

Prayer Time

When we were done with assembling the bags, we prayed over the bags so they can be a blessing to these families and also be a tool to let them know that they're not alone because God sees them and takes care of them.

Down Guatemala - Day 1

by Eduardo Herrera | October 13, 2025 10:06 PM

Before starting our VBS, we had the opportunity to take a tour in Down Guatemala's new facilities and learn about the services they offer to the population with down syndrome, and how they're working hard to integrate them in the Guatemalan society.

Zumba!

by Eduardo Herrera | October 15, 2025 12:49 PM

Our day started with a zumba class at Tebow Down Guatemala. Our students were invited to the front to lead in a few songs with Tito, a morning show host in national TV.

It was the first time we did zumba for some of us, but we had a blast!

Zumba!

Thank you!

Serving at Tebow Down Guatemala has been a huge blessing and honor.

We know it's not a goodbye, but a see you soon.

Thank you!

A Different Perspective

by Eduardo Herrera | October 15, 2025 10:52 PM

Joel, Believe Guatemala's founder, gave us a tour to learn more about how Guatemala City's dump and its impact in the community where his ministry is making a difference through the kids with a sponsorship and after school program.

A Different Perspective

¡Hasta pronto!

by Eduardo Herrera | October 15, 2025 10:55 PM

Our last day at Believe Guatemala was incredible. We had VBS and a ceremony to honor some of the local kids who are doing amazingly at school thanks to Believer's work.

We'll continue to pray for this ministry that's striving to make a difference in a marginalized area from Guatemala City.

¡Hasta pronto!

Rec Day!

by Eduardo Herrera | October 16, 2025 7:02 PM

Today was our free day in Guatemala and we headed to La Antigua Guatemala, a touristic city outside the capital, to do some shopping, drink delicious Guatemalan coffee, and enjoy the beauty of this wonderful place on our last day.

Rec Day!

Tonight, we’re enjoying a delicious traditional Guatemalan grill at one of our favorite restaurants.

We've loved to bond with each other and encourage one another.

¡Hasta pronto, Guatemala!

by Eduardo Herrera | October 17, 2025 10:37 AM

We're ready to go back home and share with our friends and family how God worked in us and through us this week.

Pray for safe travels, but also for our brothers and sisters in Christ from Tebow Down Guatemala and Believe Guatemala.

Until the next time! ????????

¡Hasta pronto, Guatemala!
