Youth Guatemala Trip

I just returned from Guatemala yesterday! It was an amazing trip! I had the wonderful honor of leading a team from my church's youth group. Boy was it fun! These teens are hilarious, they had me laughing, hard. They have so much joy and know how to enjoy life, moment by moment. More than that though, they truly love God! Their desire to serve God and to share His love with people is so inspiring and encouraging! These teens are seeking God each day, determined to fulfill all of His dreams for their lives, and I am so thankful that God gave me the opportunity to help with that!

While in Guatemala, we went to a town called Santo Tomas La Union, and ministered in parks, bus terminals, various communities and other similar locations. We performed dramas that shared of God's love, and how He is the only one that can fill that void in our lives. The Gospel was presented, and then we went and shared with the people who watched the dramas. It was so great to see the team walk in boldness, unashamed of their love for Jesus, and passionate about wanting others to experience the love, joy, hope and future that He gives! Approximately 335 people gave their hearts to the Lord! Isn't that awesome?!

My desire is to help people, and help them in turn help others. So, having the opportunity to help train teens for missions and watch what God does in their lives just brings me great joy! God used them to do so much this past week, and at the same time, He did so much in them!

God is so good and His faithful love never ends!
