Summer Fun

 

This was a gathering for the 4th of July for Ben's side of the family. We had a great time eating, talking, laughing, swimming and celebrating birthdays and the 4th.

We had a gathering for our pastors and families at our home in June. It was a fun time of food, fellowship and prayer. It is not easy gathering busy pastors and their families so I was grateful for the time together.

These are 4 of the 7 Pastors Ben gets to serve.

We were also happy to see our friends from Guatemala the Harmans.

They were staying at this beautiful place on a lake about 2 hours north of Indianapolis.

Here is the whole crew. They have 7 kids and we have 8 so when we used to get our families together it was a crowd ;-)

The girls got to go bowling.

Daddy daughter date for ice cream. Already starting to tell them that any boy who wants to get close to them has to talk to Dad first ;-)

Of course. lots of library visits this summer.

Ben took a day retreat to pray and plan for the rest of the year. He is also working on a 5 year vision. Please pray for this process.

Serving the Community during COVID19

We have been mobilizing our team here both at Love Guatemala and Iglesia Nueva Vida to serve our community in this time of great need. The situation here is much like that in the states however here people have no savings, no extra, no credit cards to use, in most cases no family to lean on and so there are many going hungry. We have partnered with our friends the Steeds at Project for Hope as well and we have fed hundreds of families, given out bread, masks, eggs etc. You can check out more info and give here if you wish.

Here are a few pics of some of the things we have been doing:

 Some of our staff made some banana bread and delivered it as well to some of the kid in our feeding center. We are also using the funds that normally run the feeding center to buy food and divide it up and deliver to the families in the feeding center.

Thanks for supporting us and Love Guatemala so we can continue to serve the community in this way!
