Hi all,
Well, we are back in Tactic with our final team before returning to Canada for the month of August. It has been a crazy few weeks! This last team was from Duvall, Washington, and they were a lot of fun. They were so supportive and encouraging, I think we drew strength and energy from them. It was so great to be a part of what the Lord was doing in and through this group. Many of them spoke Spanish and it sure enabled them to interact with the people here to a greater degree than those who don't speak the language. Where often we use translators, like in children's ministry, this group spoke their message in Spanish. On their final day of children's ministry, more than 200 children showed up plus many adults. Wow! It was amazing. We asked the pastor of the church we were working in to address the kids and make a call for salvation and many of the children came forward. I know that not all who prayed to accept the Lord were sincere and probably a few had prayed the prayer before, but I know that some new souls were added to the Kingdom that afternoon and it was a huge blessing to be a part of that.
I don't always understand why the Lord chose to use us here in Guatemala, but I am sure thankful. Everyday I feel His hand upon us, guiding and directing us, one step at a time. Sometimes it is difficult and we are challenged to walk by faith, not by sight. Other times it is so natural and easy, because no other path makes any sense at all.
We are looking forward to touching base with some of you in August and hope to see you at our reporting night (Thursday, August 26th, Bible Truth Church @ 7pm).
Blessings,
Karren
