Month: January 2014

Everyday I get to see this view.  Guatemala is such a beautiful country with many volcanoes and great scenery.  I am reminded everyday of God, just by seeing this scenery.  God said let there be and there was.  At the same time, it reminds me of Romans chapter 1 verses 18 through 32.  The Apostle Paul writes, that there is no excuse to not believe in God.  God’s manifestation is revealed through His creation.  Yet, the people refuse to believe and continue living in their own ways (sin).  Guatemala is consider to have millions of evangelicals (most in central america), but they have one of the highest crime rates and poverty in the whole world.  Paul mentions that God gave the people over to their own lust, which leads to destruction.  Sin is a huge factor all over the world.  There are consequences for our sins and many times they lead to great destruction.  The Good news is that God sent HIS son Jesus to die for all these people.  There is Grace for everyone.  Pray that God would cause a revival to restore many who are hurting and are in need of a savior.  Solo Deo Gloria!!

Thankful for another year of ministry.  This past weekend I had the honor to go to Chichicastenango, Guatemala and minister at Iglesia Dios es Amor.  Pastor Donald Simon leads that congregation and is doing an excellent job.  Chicicstenango is a tough place to minister in, because of all the Mayan practices that still exist today.  I had the opportunity to lead a training course for Audio/Video.  There were about 15 students who where there to learn more about A/V and serve their church by using their gifts.  It is a blessings to see people desire to serve the Lord through media.  15 to 20 years ago that was probably not the case, but know, A/V is a crucial part of today’s church.  Thank God I was able to invest in these folks, that they may continue serving the Lord.
