In Country

We have arrived!!! It's 11.45 Guatemala time, but 1.45 Georgia time and we are pooped, but full of joy!!! The travel was a fun time filled with laughter and last time cell phone calls on US soil. What an awesome place to be where God has called each one of us. Thank you all for your prayers as God has protected us today!!! Time to tuck in before we awake to breathe in HIS fullness once again tomorrow morning!

Prayer Needs for Guatemalan Workers

The heart that our two coordinators (Pastor Jorge and Carol) have for the Lord is clearly seen. He has put these women in their path, and they have followed His calling. Pray for them to have direction and to be blessed.
The group of 10 women to help us is already an answer to prayer as we have prayed that God would bring Christian women in-country along side the Thabita Project. Pray for relationship building among these women and the women of Thabita, and for God to bless this group abundantly.

Suggested Scripture to Pray

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11-13
I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly. John 10:10
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. Psalm 37:23
I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you. Ephesians 1:18a
I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:17b - 19
We were gentle among you, like a mother caring for her little children. We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us. 1 Thessalonians 2:7,8
