Still giving hope and changing lives...

 We are grateful for the work the Lord allows to continue to be a part of at Love Guatemala...here are a few stories of lives being changed.

Meet Miguel who studies in our Middle School. In the picture he has made a display celebrating the 200th anniversary of Guatemala's independence. He had to leave studying as a boy to support his family but has a dream to finish his schooling so he can help his family out more. He has not yet missed a class this year and his goal is to not miss any all year. Join us in praying for Miguel and his studies.

 

Meet Rosa who is 11 and attends our feeding center. She lives in a town called Buena Vista. She along with her siblings are going through a tough time since their father lost his job during the pandemic. But because of the feeding center they have still had food.

Visit from Pastor Aaron

 

We had a great visit from a long-time friend, Pastor and mentor over labor-day weekend. He came down to help us celebrate Carlos installation and commission as pastor.

He also came to visit and see a young lady that he has supported and served since his first trip to Guatemala more than 10 years ago. She recently had a baby and he was able to spend time with her as well.

We were also able to honor him for his years of service to Love Guatemala. He served as the founder and board president for many years. Here is a fun video we made for him too.

We had some fun going to Antigua to eat dinner and climb the mountain above Magdalena as well.

Thanks for the visit Pastor Aaron!

New Pastor at Iglesia Nueva Vida

Yesterday was a very special day! We commissioned and installed Carlos Lopez as the Pastor of New Life Church Guatemala! It was a great celebration of God's work in the life of Carlos and Telma and also of God's work at New Life Church. We started NLC in January 2018 and it has grown to about 70-80 on Sundays and more importantly 50-60 in discipleship groups learning to reproduce themselves as disciples. 

It was a great day. We were able to have some special people that have had influence in Carlos life such as Aaron Story and another Pastor here in Guatemala. Several others sent videos and greetings. Thanks to all of you who have had influence in mine or Carlos life.

Pre-service Prayer time

This is a very special couple that the Lord has transformed and is using mightily here in Guatemala. Please join me in praying for them in this new phase of life and ministry.

Our family will now be able to focus on building a network of churches in Guatemala in partnership with New Life Network. Please pray that God will give us favor to build a network of churches that multiply disciples and churches.

Thanks for continuing to pray and support our family in this work of making disciples of all nations.
