from your associational missionary,

The Faces of Guatemala



This young couple who received Christ during our mission trip. Their daughter was named "Genesis" because she was the beginning of their family. Pray for their "new beginning" in Christ.

         
A "seeker" followed our team time several times in the town of San Cristobal. At one point he asked if we were a cult. Alex shared the Gospel with him - but he made no commitment. Pray he finds the truth that will set him free.


Behind the walls (adobe, tin, or plastic) of many homes were the faces of folks that we didn't get to meet or share Jesus with. Pray for the new home Bible studies in the area - that the Word of God will spread in Guatemala.

It was a joy to serve the Lord and represent Elmore Baptists on our recent "GO" trip. If you would like to learn more, invite one of our team members to speak to your church, mission group or VBS. Call the EBA office (567-7321) and we will put you in touch with a team member.
