Family Visit...

As you can imagine, the week was more of show and vaca in Guatemala. So what did we do? as much as we possibly could have. Cultural tours, coffee farms, the backside of Aqua, the beach with volcanic sand, pre-visits to ministry opportunities, museums, ruins, the market and that is pretty much the short list.

Team Visit - Eagle Baptist
This past week were blessed with the help from Eagle Baptist Church from Florida. This group got their hands dirty with malnutrition-ed children, more church renovations, and digging ditches for the new housing project for Agatha Relief victims. They found the mass graves from tragic epidemics a hundred years ago.
Oh the things we see here in Guate... This is a rural taxi...This team played a significant role in a Agatha Relief clothing and food distribution. We were blessed to partner with Hope Haven International, Eagles's Clothing donations, and a new mission plant just the other side of a mountain or two... from Antigua, you can't get there from here.

San Pedro Las Huertas...

Still reeling from Tropical Storm Agatha, the details of life - post disaster - are still with us. There are people whose lives will ever be changed from this storm. There were 14 homes destroyed in this aldea just kilometers from more death and destruction in the neighboring community of San Miguel Escobar. While the Mayor of Antigua has replaced the land to the home owners that lost everything - to a different location - the children living with their parents, the home owners are now out on the street (if there was one - figuratively speaking) because the new land space is smaller than what the parents owned before the storm. Their grown children have no place/space to live with their parents as they used to.

Rain and Sand Don't Mix...

The roof collapsed during services. Thankfully, no one was hurt. But this is a church that needs a roof. They have packed into a provisional roof half the size of what they need. A replacment roof is estimated at Q30k - Q35k - this is about $4500 dollars US. As of today , they do not have the means to replace it. If you would like to help, please contact me I will show you how. mike@iglesiadelcaminogt.com
