Finally the team has arrived to Guatemala. We are pleased to have a team from Conduit Church visit us this week. I had the privilege to go pick them up at the airport with the van we rented. We had a team of 7 people come along David Christopher, our missions director. The plan for this week was using the mornings to visit different orphanages with the Ruiz family, as they feel called to serve in a ministry for orphans. We visited a total of 4 orphanages, 3 of which I had never visited, and though I had called to arrange the meetings I didn’t really know what to expect. However, we were all surprised by God when hearing stories and visiting this places. All of these stories of were provision, protection and miracles. People facing dangers and God miraculously protecting people even after being hit with machetes but not having even a single scratch, stories of power being cut (literally) because they weren’t able to pay for it and power continue to run into the house, stories of God providing +$30K monthly for the budget and stories or dreams and plans to serve over a 100 orphans in one place.
The rest of our days was spent visiting families and praying for them. Charity, a hair dresser, used her gift serving school teachers and kids by cutting their hair.

This week I also continued with the business training in San Bartolo, however, due to misinformation, I only had 3 people show up this time. I was happy to be able to talk to each one of them about their challenges and dreams and then giving them tips to start creating business ideas right away. We talked about finding business ideas by finding out what people need, want or have problems with.

This was a great week over all.
