Hola from Antigua! My team and I did arrive safely here in Guatemala with no major setbacks, PRAISE THE LORD! Thank you all for the prayers. I’m sure you’re curious about what life in Antigua is like, and quite honestly it’s amazing and beautiful. My time here will be spent sleeping in a tent, taking a cold shower, and having to walk 6 minutes one way into town for wifi. However, my time here will also be spent being discipled and poured into by our five ministry host (who happen to all be Americans who once did the World Race), growing in intimacy with my Father, and loving and serving His people in Guatemala.
Ministry for my team looks a little different everyday, and our host are big on not having our own agenda, but following after God’s heart and what He has planned. We are about a five/ten minute walk from the main square in Antigua, so on the first day my team went on a prayer walk to pray for the city and see what God is doing here. Let me tell you…God is alive and moving in this city!! There is a hope amidst the brokeness and our Creator is making all things new and beautiful. Healing is happening here. Healing is happening in our team and in this city. One of the first days here, one of our host and I got to experience this first hand. It was an ATL (ask the Lord) ministry day, and we both felt the Lord calling us to revisit a Catholic church I stumbled across the day before. After half an hour of trying to figure out where it was located, God brought us not one, not two, but 3 of His children to pray over and heal physically and spiritually. The story is a lot longer and a lot cooler in person, but the experience was unreal and I consider myself blessed to serve such a mighty God who want to use me to bring His kingdom. We have also gotten the chance to love on and play with the street children, showing them the love of their Heavenly Father. Its’s hard to imagine that we’ve been here for less than a week, and I can’t wait to see what else happens.

Prayer Request: continue to pray for peace for my team, and the hearts of the people of Guatemala.
