  • Open our Eyes Lord

    Our summer of teams is officially over, but sure enough we will be hosting more near the end of September and beginning of October. Mission teams have proven to be a huge benefit to the ministry of Love Guatemala. They are extremely encouraging, supportive, and invigorating to host. I am personally so thankful for the…

  • Love Guatemala Staff – The Real MVPs

    After back-to-back weeks of teams, we have returned to a somewhat normal schedule here at Love Guatemala. Still, I found myself more tired this week than any of the others. This is the halfway point of my time here interning this summer and I am struck by how fast it is going. Because of this,…

  • A Taste of the Kingdom

    This past week we were lucky enough to christen our Feeding Center. Two weeks earlier, we had our official first day of the program that is going to feed around 50 of the neediest children of our community twice a week. Tuesday though, we were able to celebrate and pray over our completed outdoor space…

  • Regarding Relationship

    We are currently hosting a team from Piedmont Church in Macon, Georgia. They are busy working by painting the building and raising a roof over our feeding center. I have been incredibly encouraged by the fun they are having with the students and their willingness to jump into unfamiliar and sometimes awkward situations. I wanted…

  • A Tortilla Does Not Cut It

    This week we began the feeding center here at Love Guatemala. This was a project that I heard about when I first arrived, but I thought was far off in the future. Then I found myself mixing concrete with the students and at the Antigua market for food with the cooking ladies. Before I knew…

  • Praying for Land: Video Update!

    If there is one thing that I have learned from my time here in Guatemala it is this: God’s dreams and plans are always bigger, better, smarter, and more life giving than anything we can come up with. So often in the three weeks that I have been here I have heard Pastor Ben say,…

  • An Unforgettable Lunch…

    Last week I had the privilege of going on a visit with Carlos and Telma to the home of a student in the Art School. Carlos had prepared me a few days in advance with the forewarning that this would be a hard visit for me to experience because, “The family literally has nothing.” I…

  • Love Guatemala Team

    Our last trip to Guatemala was a little different than most. We sent a team last week with Pastor Ben & Jennifer Kunkel, Pastor Aaron Story and Susie Hood. We went to do some of the usual stuff we typically do while we are there such as home visits and build chicken coops. But one…

  • Make A Difference!

    One of the barriers to many children being able to go to school in Guatemala is school supplies. What many of our kids take for granted or even dislike, is sometimes the only barrier keeping theseprecious kids from receiving an education. Because of the generosity of God’s people we were able to provide school supplies…
