Rhode Trip

After a long day of travelling, we made it safe and sound to Guatemala! We're ready to serve in this beautiful country and share God's love to the locals.

After having a delicious breakfast, we're ready for our first day of ministry here in Guatemala!

We're already working at Nueva Visión Church in different projects. We feel thankful for the opportunity to serve them.

Whether is cleaning the beams or the roof, we're enjoying working together as a team.

We finished the afternoon with a last project: finishing a sidewalk! We were guided by local pastor and now friend, brother Fito.

Silas got the opportunity to share his testimony at church on how God called him to share the gospel with his teammates, which led to five of them to start to attend church.

Praise God!

At night, we went back to Nueva Visión Church to join our brothers and sisters for a prayer service. We had the opportunity to pray for one another and bring our prayers requests to God.

Another beautiful day in Guatemala. This is Agua Volcano, an inactive volcano.

In the morning, we visited Tebow Down Guatemala, a school located in Guatemala City that's doing a great job teaching and training kids, teenagers, and adults with Down Syndrome to acquire new skills and adapt to daily living scenarios.

We visited Guatemala's City public cemetery and dump guided by Joel, Believe Guatemala’s founder, to learn about the struggles of those who work at the dump, and how his ministry is working hard to break a generational chain of illiteracy.

Today, we traveled to the beautiful town of Santa Lucía Milpas Altas to support with the construction of a new temple for Assemblies of God Galilea Church.

It was an exhausting and yet rewarding day, as we were able to serve alongside Pastor Mario. He encouraged us by saying that church isn't only what happens inside the temple, but what we do outside of such a temple in our daily lives.

Today, we blessed a family by painting their house! We're happy they accepted and that we could give their home a new look.

After a long day of work, we walked back to Believe Guatemala to play soccer with the kids. We had a great time.

Today was our last day of ministry and we painted a second home. We're thankful for the opportunity to serve local families.

After finishing the last project of the week, we helped the staff of Believe Guatemala to deliver some bags with groceries to some families that really need it in this time.

We don't get tired of being Jesus' hands and feet.

After a long day of projects, we got to play our last soccer game with the kids, and we ended the afternoon with a pizza party!

We cannot stressed how thankful we're for the opportunity to serve alongside Believe Guatemala. We'll keep praying for this ministry that's changing these kids’ lives.

On our free day, we took a tour to learn more about how coffee is harvested and processed.

We're going to miss this view. Here you can see (from left to right:) Fuego Volcano (an active volcano) and Amatenango Volcano (an inactive volcano).

We're sad to leave this beautiful country, but especially leaving Ada who fed us really really well this week.

We had an amazing experience here in Guatemala, but now, we're ready to go back home.

Until the next time!
