Month 1 of my mission trip is almost done here in Guatemala and needless to say, this month has been the most life changing experience I’ve ever had. It’s hard to imagine that a month has already come and gone, and soon my team will be departing from Santa Cruz De Quiche and heading out to Santa Ana, El Salvador.
This is a photo blog for YOU and what your financial support and prayers have done:
You've helped restore portions of the Santa Elena Hospital.
You've brought the Gospel to the prisoners of Centro Preventivo Para Hombres Santa Cruz De Quiche Prison.
You've shared love, laughs, and some good meals with the orphans of Casa De Mi Padre.
You've brought a revival to Elim Iglesia Cristo.
You've brought restoration and encouragement to the men and women who serve as prison guards.
You've helped us with our modes of transportation.
You've helped me blend in with Guatemalan dress attire.
You've kept me and my team fed.
You've taught me how to do headstands with orphan boys.
You gave me medicine when I threw up 3 days worth of food (that's my throw up.)
You've helped bring the Kingdom of God to Guatemala.
You've helped me in ways I can't even describe.
I thank you for believing that God will do great things in this missions trip and you’ve not only attempted a great thing by donating, but have accomplished a great thing by sending me into the world. Thank you so much for your support.
I want to invite you to dive deep into this passion. I want to invite you to keep me on the mission field. There's a passion not only for me to be heree but for you to supporting me because you know that this isn’t merely a chance for me to travel, but an opportunity for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to penetrate the world. I want to grow that joy inside you and encourage you to step into that passion and consider continuing your donation. I ask that you prayerfully consider continuing your contributions to our ministry. I am seeking a monthly donation of $25 a month for 4 months (less than a dollar a day.) If 100 people donate $25 a month for 4 months, I will be fully funded for my trip. I need your help. I need to at least make my next deadline of $11,000 before I leave Central America and head to Southeast Asia. I know we can do it! Please prayerfully consider coming alongside me and continue to contribute to our ministry. To donate monthly, all you have to do is click the link and follow the prompt to set up a monthly donation.

Thank you so much in advance for all of your support. I write to you with immense joy in my heart and tears running down my face. Thank you so much for all that you’ve done and in advance for all that you will continue to do. Words can’t begin bear the weight of thankfulness I have for you. My heart will be filled with prayers for you as you shine the light of Christ here at home. May the love of Christ set a relentless fire of passion in your heart and may the Spirit of the Lord be with you always. Grace and peace be with you, always.
Joyfully in Santa Cruz de Quiche, Guatemala
Your friend and brother in the Lord, Jacob Saul Portillo: World Race Missionary
