Well, our 2017 trip was amazing!! We had a wonderfully busy week in Guatemala. We built 2 new homes, and refurbished 4. At the 4 refurbish sites we also built a bathroom. We went to 3 feeding programs with Pray America provides where we were given the opportunity to see God's children hear his Word and feel the love of His people. These children are amazing! They love in a way that some here on earth never see or experience. They look after each other and share smiles that melt your heart. They are hungry, they may be dirty and go without so much of the material things that we so take for granted and yet they smile, they play and they LOVE.
We also went back to the very homes we built and refurbished to wash the feet of our new found friends. Just like Jesus, we served. What an opportunity to show these friends the love of Jesus.
We carried food provded to widows to the ride that may get them closer to their homes, so that then, on their backs, they could carry the 50+ pounds of grains and goods to their homes. In my prayers everyday, I ask God to make me useable for His work. During this trip I thanked Him everyday for picking me, to do His work. Now I know that you don't need to go to Guatemala to do His work, we do plenty here each and every day. The point is you have to be a willing vessel. Pray today for God to make you useable and that you are an excellent ambassador for Him.
