Today we traveled to Santa Clara to visit another Happy Tummies location. We had the opportunity to serve lunch, sit and eat alongside the children, play together, and share the Gospel. ❤️

Vive Generosamente ❤️

Part of the funds raised by this team helped make home visits possible. We had the privilege of visiting four local families who warmly welcomed us into their homes. We were able to provide groceries for the week, essential supplies, and a few fun gifts.

We spent time listening to their stories and learning what a typical day looks like for them. Most importantly, we were reminded that we are far more alike than we are different. We all have hopes, dreams, challenges, and joys—and we all serve the same great God. ❤️

Basketball Camp Day 3 🏀❤️

95 kids.
One Gospel.
A whole lot of joy. ❤️🏀🇬🇹

What an incredible day! Today, 95 kids heard the Gospel, learned basketball skills, played games, and experienced the love of Jesus. Watching their smiles, energy, and excitement was something we'll never forget.

We came to teach basketball, but God continues to teach us so much more. Every high-five, every laugh, every conversation reminds us why we're here.

Thankful for another day of sharing the message that God is bigger than our fears and that Jesus loves each one of these children so much.

We ❤️ Abuelitos.

This afternoon, we traveled to Happy Tummies, an after-school ministry for children in Guatemala. 🇬🇹❤️

We shared the story of David and Goliath, talked about having faith over fear, and reminded the children that God is bigger than any giant they may face. The kids made their own slingshots and each received a bracelet that says "Jesús me ama" (Jesus loves me).

What an absolute Joy to see their smiles!

This morning, we had the opportunity to visit a traditional Guatemalan school in San Juan La Laguna. 🇬🇹❤️

We toured the school, delivered gifts to each teacher, and were blessed to share the Gospel in two classrooms.

Each child received a basketball, completed a craft, and wrote the Bible verse we taught as a reminder that the battle belongs to the Lord.

What an incredible privilege to connect with these students and teachers and share the hope of Jesus. Thank you to the many people who prayed for us, supported us, and donated supplies to make this possible. 🏀✝️❤️

Love People 🤝
Love Basketball 🏀

Today was an incredible day as we hosted two sports camps at two different schools in Guatemala! We had the opportunity to share the story of David and Goliath, encourage kids to choose faith over fear, and provide a snack to each child.

God showed up in a big way. We saw smiles, heard laughter, built relationships, and watched kids learn that with God, even the biggest giants can be overcome.
🇬🇹❤️🏀

It’s starting to feel real! ❤️🇬🇹

We had our first packing party tonight for Guatemala, and the excitement is building! We are so thankful to our friends at St. Andrew’s and Thrivent for sponsoring tonight’s supplies.

Each group will use these items on separate mission trips with Impacto Ministry Inc, helping serve communities and families in Guatemala.

There’s something special about serving alongside others with a shared purpose. We’re grateful for the support, generosity, and partnership that make these trips possible.
Love serving together! ❤️🙌🌎
