We have been ministering this week in a small pueblo called Mirador, near where we are staying in Comalteco. Each day we go out and minister door-to-door, praying for people’s needs, giving testimonies, and just sharing our lives with them. Then each night, we have a reunion, a church meeting with songs, preaching, prayer, and food. We hope to plant a self-sustaining church in Mirador that Juan Carlos will pastor once he returns from Guatemala with us. Pray that this vision would come into being.
The picture at left is a reunion in the home of Antolin Palestina. He and his daughter and son entertained us with beautiful three-part harmonies and terrific guitar-playing.
We’re struggling with illness here. I was violenty ill two nights ago and spent the entire next day flat on my back. Katherine had a bit of a cold when we arrived, and now is suffering the same stomach malady that I had. Casey also has the stomach bug. Please pray that Katherine and Casey would recover quickly, and that the rest of us would stay healthy.
Our lack of internet access is a challenge for us, so bear with us. We’ll get you stories and pictures as soon as we can.
God bless you all!
Gary, on behalf of Team Doulos
