Alliance Christian Schools

After an early flight, we made it to Guatemala!

We're so happy to be back and ready to serve alongside Pastor Rogelio’s church this week.

Guatemala welcomed us with a beautiful sunset.

Pastor Rogelio and his family welcomed us all with a delicious dinner. We also brought some presents for his family as a token of appreciation.

We love how we were able to make connections last year and reconnect with them a year later.

On Sunday we had the beautiful opportunity to see some old friends but also the chance to make new ones! Almost 90 kids showed up for kids ministry. Between fun and games our little friends learned about Jesus as our anchor.

In Guatemala soccer should be the national sport. Kids really like to play soccer.

In the afternoon we went to a supermarket, there we got groceries to bless 26 families from church and community. After shopping we packed the bags.

We finished the day hearing Pastor Rogelio preached about Acts 13.

Today, in the morning, we visited some families in the neighborhood to pray over them, get to know, and share the Good News about Jesus Christ.

Some of us stayed back at the church to start with the construction project. This time, we removed the metal sheet roof, as we're going to be building the foundation for a second story.

Today, we had over 110 kids at VBS! We all had a great time dancing, doing crafts, and learning about God.

Today's lesson was on Matthew 18: 12-14, which is the parable of the lost sheep that reminds us how God leaves the 99 to rescue one of them.

Today, we continued with the construction project and we feel so happy that we've accomplished so much progress in these past two days.

The other part of the team continued visiting people's homes to listen the most impactful stories and testimonies and encourage one another to keep trusting God.

On our last day, we got to share the the story about Jesus' sacrifice for humankind. We also got to share with the kids the invitation to receive Christ in their lives and many of them did it! Praise God

It was a bittersweet afternoon because we said good yet to our old and new friends, but we'll keep praying for them when we go back home.

We truly enjoyed playing with them and teaching them about Christ.

We had a blast with the youth from Fuente de Poder Church. We played some games, had dinner together, and made some delicious s'mores.

Today we visited the last houses, we shared with the families and listened their amazing stories. It was a great time spending time with them and sharing about God’s love. We were thankful because all the families were very welcoming.

Today some of us stayed at the church to finish the construction project. It was challenging making new things but we were really glad to be helpful in different areas.

Today in the afternoon we went to the School from Cerro Corado, there, we met the principal, who was really kind, we all prayed for her since she is sick. Also we help making a ramp and cleaning the school.

Tonight we had our last church service. We had an special presentation of Aleena, Toru, Noah and Addie in which they performed a song. At the end of the service pastor Rogelio prayed for us, and all the congregation said good bye. It was a really special time.

Today's our rec day and we traveled to the South of Guatemala to enjoy a relaxing day at the beach. We enjoyed the black sand beach and a beautiful sunset.

It's a wonderful way to finish a week of ministry.

We're ready to go back home after a blessed week in Guatemala at Pastor Rogelio's Church. We can't wait to share our experience with friends, family, and anybody who's willing to listen to us.

Until the next time!
