March Guatemala Team to Rio Dulce


Our team of 5 is heading to Guatemala on Saturday, March 1-8. Our team will be working alongside of our friends from our partner church the Centro Christiano Cultural Center. The week will include visiting the church for a social gathering on Saturday, worshipping together on Sunday, serving in the feeding program and doing some clinics in villages at the Rio Dulce.

Pastor David and his church are feeding over 1700 children and working with 10 pastors in the same number of villages. Pictured here is Pastor Osmundo Mejia.

Pray for our team to have safe travel, many opportunities to serve and a heart that says yes to the things God asks them to do. Let's pray for our team to hear from the Lord this week as they will have many ways to serve.

Guatemala Team Returns Home



It was an awesome week of ministry as our team was able to complete their part of the second floor construction phase at the retreat center. Going to another country to do what you know how to do here in the United States is always an adventure and challenge.


The materials and methods may be different in accomplishing the same result. It is always a testimony to the Lord's goodness and ways he matures us when we can work together for a common purpose that is larger than us.
Our team of 9 worked alongside of our Guatemalan friends from the CCCG church we partner with all week. That is special in itself as the language is different but that does not matter as we serve together to expand the kingdom here on earth.
Thanks for remembering our team this week in prayer as they served the Lord in Monterrico.

Working Together To Change Lives




Our team is working hard on the construction of the Retreat Center dormitory. The work is progressing well on the second floor. The weather is hot at the Pacific but clear and they really enjoy the swim in the ocean for their daily break time!!

Sunday the team got to attend the CCCG and worship with our partner church and friends. On Monday morning they had the opportunity to serve in the feeding program and enjoy the kids who came for the bible story, breakfast and to be loved by our friends.


Pray for health, safety and great adventure as they spend this week in Guatemala.

Guatemala Team Prepares to Go




Early Saturday morning, February 2-9, our Two Rivers Team of 9 members will fly down to Guatemala. Our team will be working with our partner church at CCCG. The main purpose of the trip is to continue the work that is already underway on the dormitory for the retreat center.


The retreat or conference center is located in Monterrico at the Pacific Ocean. This center is used for many purposes, one being that of having a place to reach out from in the Pacific region. There are many villages where CCCG partners with the Pastor and begins a feeding program that is used to build a relationship. The goal is to save the younger generation as the church provides a meal in the morning served at the village church. The children are then divided into 3 groups where they are taught bible stories, health care practices and play games. The groups are rotated among these 3 groups in the morning. The CCCG then visits this village on a monthly basis to encourage and train the Pastor.
Will you pray that our team has safety in travel, health for their bodies and a deep sense of the presence of God surrounding all they do?
