Alive Vineyard

On our first day in Guatemala we went to meet the pastor and his family. We were received with a delicious dinner and a little gift. We are so excited to see God moving this week.

We went to a local supermarket to get food and cleaning supplies to prepare some bags for food distribution. It's a beautiful way to visit the community and pray for the families.

We prepared all the bags that are going to be delivered. We are really excited, because we can meet the families from this beautiful community.

We visited the house of Santiago and Maria. A beautiful couple that has gone through a lot but have remained faithful to the Lord. God is definitely moving in Guatemala.

Today we learned that Jesus died for our sins and washed us clean. The children made crosses as a reminder of His love and sacrifice for us.

Tonight we learned about finding our identity in Jesus and not in the labels the world tries to place on us. We were encouraged by Makayla’s testimony as she shared how she chose to trust God’s purpose for her life instead of believing the voices around her. A powerful reminder that our true identity is found in Christ alone.

We ended the evening praying for one another alongside our brothers and sisters from the local church. It was a special time of encouragement, unity, and seeking God together. We are so thankful for the relationships He is building through this partnership.

We visited Wilfredo and his mom. We came back after one year. He's such an inspiring person. He's always smiling and sharing his love for God with us. Both gave us a beautiful example of how the sons and daughters of Christ should behave.

Praise the Lord. We were surprised by the wonderful news that Jacob, a young man we visited last year that had kidney failure and his condition was pretty bad, had surgery yesterday to get a new kidney. His father said that his new kidney is starting to work as intended. We are so happy to see God moving.

Today we learned that Jesus comes to find us in the middle of the storm. We don't have to go through it alone. The kids were so happy with every activity. We love them so much.

We ended the night gathered together for a devotional, encouraging one another and growing in God’s Word. Grateful for these moments of fellowship, reflection, and friendship.

You can't build new things without tearing down the old ones. The temple already looks a lot bigger. We were blessed to have some members of the church working with us.

The demolition project is hard, but it's rewarding to see the results already. Pastor Moisés was really helpful, showing us how to do things.

While part of the team stayed at the church to help with the demolition project, others went out for food distribution visits. Today we had the opportunity to meet Marta Julia, spend time with her, and pray for her health. We are grateful for every home we enter and every person God allows us to encourage with His love.

We finished the demolition of the old bathrooms. It looks a lot bigger. It's beautiful to be a part of the construction of this beautiful church.

We cleaned everything that got dusty after the demolition. The church will be ready for service tonight.

Today we picked up a vacuum for the church’s new stage carpet as we prepare for ministry. Grateful for God’s provision in every detail.

Today we had the privilege of blessing our pastor’s wife with a new stove as a small thank-you for the love, care, and support she has shown us throughout our time here.

Our last day of VBS was filled with joy, games, songs, and lots of smiles. Thankful for every child who came and for the opportunity to share God’s love with them!

We stared our rec day with a coffee tour. We learned all the different varieties of coffee and long process it takes.

We were blessed to have pastor and his family join us for the day.
