Gene, Katrina, Chris and Trent with our wonderful hosts Dylan and Missy had a great first day!
Missy, Katrina and Chris had the opportunity to participate in a Celebrate Recovery session. Seeing women who are really struggling with horrors in their lives is heart wrenching - but then you see how Missy is teaching them and praying with them / for them, and loving them. God is really at work in this ministry and it's so needed here!!!
In the afternoon, we began working on the computer lab for the school. So you might think "computer lab in Guatemala???" It's certainly not what we would expect from a computer lab. But by the end of next week, it will be a school room with used computers, a counter surrounding the room, and place for the students to begin to break the poverty cycle by learning essential computer skills.
Gene, Katrina, Chris, Trent, Dylan and Missy were all working side by side (and I mean that literally) with Guatemalans beginning installation of metal framing for a flat work space for the computers, running electrical wiring & conduit, and security bars.
(Katrina jumped right in)
(And so did Gene!)
(Kids don't try this at home!)
(With Missy -- The walls of Jericho would have trembled!)
(Dylan overseeing the "ladder project")
The ingenuity and work ethic of the Guatemalan people is amazing!
In the evening God provided His own version of "fireworks" by having the volcano, Pacaya, erupt!!! It was unbelievable to see especially since it was at night and could see it so well.....truly spectacular! It is a true testament of God's awesome and mighty power and our respect/fear of Him!
(Yes -- that's a lava flow)
Excellent day one! It is so awesome to see Christ's body moving in His will!!
