  • Love Guatemala Leadership Training

    One of the ways we have excelled in 2015 here at Love Guatemala is through beginning some leadership training.  This has helped us develop as leaders and a staff here as we lead our students to be all they can be.  We utilized John Maxwell’s Equip material through an organization here in Guatemala called “Guatemala…

Tuesday though, we were able to celebrate and pray over our completed outdoor space…
