Our churches have been coming to Guatemala for a few years now, and we’ve fallen in love with the mission of PBM and the people they serve. This last trip in July was no different.
Our team of youth and adults were able to build three homes as we’ve done in the past, which is always an incredible experience. The interaction with the community and prayer over the home is always impactful. This year, we were also able to finish a church in a village we adopted 5 years ago, and it was so special seeing the keys handed over to the pastor and listening to the first sermon in the church with over 100 people present! Many of our students, present company included, were moved by the way the village community prays and seeks the Lord. God moved in our team’s lives in a special way on this trip.
As I write this, our students just spent the day at an amusement park, and while in line, one of our students was sharing with his friends how that trip to Guatemala and time with Jesus changed him. The experiences we had in Guatemala didn’t stay there, and our students are sharing them with their peers. Thank you, Paradise Bound, for allowing us to partner with you. Your impact is reaching further than you know.
