We are two weeks into our ministry here in Guatemala. We are familiar with our daily ministry schedules. We have cleaning schedules to maintain orderliness in Casa Verde. We have two- to three-person committees to help organize and plan each of our different ministries. We have a team prayer meeting every morning before breakfast. We have nightly feedback sessions with our teams. We are learning more and more about each other as each day passes.
So what is our ministry in Guatemala like? Here is a typical schedule:
