Great Things

Are happening in Guatemala now. A group went down last week and here are just 2 of many wonderful stories:

During a medical clinic in an area called the “other side” of La Limonada more than 100 people were served. It is very different from the area around Tita’s school (where we will be), though only a 10 minute walk away. The faces of the children on the “other side” are sad, there is more crime and more gang activity. In the medical clinic and much goodwill was brought to the “other side” through this outreach. A lady by the name of Mercy, who is the sister of a gang member, worked in the clinic all day helping where needed. At the end of the day she said that she wanted to invite the Lord into her heart and accept Him as her Savior!!

Several members of the team along with some La Limonada residents began a project to put a roof on the home of Luis. Peggy met and prayed with Luis more than a year ago. At that time he very seldom spoke and never smiled. Since then Luis has accepted the Lord and he is always smiling and talking. As the project progressed, a new home emerged from the rubble of what had been Luis’ home where he was exposed to the cold and rain. Now he is protected from the elements before the start of the rainy season and for the first time in his life of 50+ years sleeping in a real bed!
