Balance the Account

Today was balance the Guatemala Mission Account! Thank you Jesus that you provided so much for our trip to Solola, Guatemala. A team of 22 people left on Christmas morning at 5am. Jesus provided 7 days and nights room and board for 22 people, a school carnival for over 300 children with 100's of balloon animals, pizza and orange drinks, 800 small toys for all the children, 150 stuffed animals, 100 washcloths filled with shampoo, soap and lotion for the hospital patients, 500 toothbrushes and toothpaste, thousands of pieces of candy, baby clothes, 25 spanish concordance's, 43 pastors and families for a Bible conference, 80 Abide tshirts, 80 Abide backpacks, 12 stoves, 150 concrete blocks, a chicken bus to and from Guatemala City, clean bottles of water, mega peanut butter and bread, 4 great translators to help us communicate and many many seeds planted along the way. Our airline flights were discounted over 300.00 each, which was refunded to each team member and the team still returned with almost 4000.00.

The team had already assigned projects to be completed and what a start! We will begin a chicken project for the children at the local school of 300 and purchase books for each student as well as medicine for the local national hospital.

Father, Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to be Your hands and feet in Solola, Guatemala. You are our Creator and You provide every breathe.

Scatter Christ
