Two Week Countdown!

First of all, thank you to each of you who have contributed to my first mission trip. Your support of my mission to share the love of Jesus throughout the nations is very meaningful to me, and much appreciated. Praise be to God that I can say my trip was fully fundraised by the support of people I have highly regarded throughout life!

Casa del Redentor (Reedemer’s House) is a ministry that was started by our church, North Metro Church, in 2013. NMC executes multiple mission trips there every year, typically involving manual labor to help improve villages and ministry sites.

North Metro also has an annual Christmas gift drive outreach in local Atlanta Metro communities, where they partner with a local ministry to provide a Christmas gift market for families in need. The “Hope for Christmas” outreach has been extended to provide gifts to children in Guatemala, too, so our team will be going to spread the cheer of the Christmas gospel there, as well.

There are 10 adults on our team. We will be departing Atlanta on Sunday, December 8 and have a direct flight to Guatemala. From there, we will have a 3 hour drive to Panajachel, which is in the Western Highlands region of the country. We will be visiting three villages while there, providing gifts and the love of Jesus to over 200 children. We will return on Saturday, December 14.

Here are some pics from last year’s Christmas mission trip. The children got one gift each, which overjoyed them. This year they will get two gifts each, and there will be two bikes raffled off in each village!!
