Guatemala Blog #2 Well, we have had a wonderful day on Monday here in Coatepeque, Guatemala. We really appreciate so many of you going to the Lord in prayer this afternoon when I sent a urgent prayer request out on behalf of our team. The Lord did answer the prayer and we made it safely back to the site and had a wonderful afternoon of VBS and in-home visits. The problem was that the teachers had went on strike and had both of the roads blocked with people, tires, and any other thing they could find to block cars from getting through. Praise the Lord that one of the nationals that is working with us knew a pig-trail to go to with vehicles to get us through back to our rooms to eat lunch and then get back to the town of La Mercedes. After going on a “pretty much” mud ride in tourist vans we made it. Thank You Jesus! You guys prayed and the road block was taken down. Please continue to pray that it will stay down so we can continue the work God has begun to do once again with the church we are partnering with this week. This is our second year as SHBC teams to work with Pastor Walter and his church to build relationships and trust with the people of La Mercedes. This is our vision, along with Larry and Sarah Plyler ( IMB missionaries ), and along with Pastor Walter to plant a church in La Mercedes. This is what we are working on. On Tuesday we will be going door-to-door visiting from home to home and also in the afternoon we will be doing VBS again with the children. We are expecting 200-300 children on Tuesday. Will update hopefully Tuesday evening…have a great day in Jesus Christ! Operation “GO” Team
