Bonfire Worship!by Trent Anderson | March 11, 2016 10:12 PM
We closed out our first day here in Guatemala with a devotion around the bon fire followed by some worship. We are all heading to bed to catch up from the long travel day. We are excited in anticipation of the work God has ready for us tomorrow!
Packing Food Bagsby Trent Anderson | March 12, 2016 9:53 AM
This morning we are gathered at Pastor Vicente's church preparing bags of food to deliver to community members. The food will be a blessing to those we deliver it to, but it will also give us a way for us to enter their homes and pray with them.
God is moving in Guatemala!by Trent Anderson | March 12, 2016 11:54 AM
God definitely showed up during food distribution today. We visited with community members taking time to hear their stories, pray for them, and encourage them from the Lord. It was a powerful morning as families broke down in tears as the Holy Spirit moved. We can't wait to see how God continues to work in us and through us. Please pray that we will continue to be bold and led by Christ in all that we do.
This picture is one of our groups with all of the families we spent time with. They are such sweet and loving people.
Kids Ministryby Trent Anderson | March 13, 2016 9:41 AM
We spent Saturday afternoon playing with the kids of Pastor Vicente's community and leading them in activities. We loved seeing their smiles and hearing their laughs. We are headed back to the church today, and we're excited to see our new friends again!
Church Serviceby Trent Anderson | March 13, 2016 10:49 PM
We had the opportunity to worship with our brothers and sisters at Pastor Vicente's church this morning. Thomas got to preach this morning and we also got to share testimonies with the congregation. Another group led Sunday school for the children up on the roof of the church.
We closed church with the kids singing a song we taught them up in front of the church!
Home Visits by Trent Anderson | March 15, 2016 10:16 AM
Monday morning we went out into the community and did more home visits where we delivered food. It is so cool to see all of the youth stepping up and praying for these people in their homes!

Great Day At The Beach!by Trent Anderson | March 15, 2016 11:44 PM
We had a great day at the beach today. We are well rested and ready for our early morning of ministry tomorrow!
Opening Doors!by Trent Anderson | March 17, 2016 11:19 AM
Wednesday morning we had the opportunity to do a kids program at a local school. The church we are partnering with has been trying to get into this school for a long time with no luck. When the pastor told the principle that he had a missions group to bring thru immediately opened the doors. Now the church is invited to keep coming back to the school! So cool to see how God used us to open the door for the church to continue ministry!
Prayer Walking by Trent Anderson | March 17, 2016 3:33 PM
We went out into the community to meet people and invite them to church. Once again God put people in our path for a reason!

We had such a great night of worship with out brothers and sisters at the church. We combined together to do the service. We both led worship and we even did a song together. Pastor Jeremy led us in the word, and many of the locals were touched by his message.
