2. Bible Study

This morning I was reading Hebrews; I read about how Jesus became like humankind and tasted death for every single person, so that we are able to live in eternity with God.

By God's grace, He sent His Son to overcome sin and death and because of that we are called to obediently place our faith in Jesus Christ. The way that we declare our faith is by serving/loving people and therefore serving God, by spreading the Gospel through loving others and teaching them the word of God. John 13:35 says that “by this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

As I was reflecting on Hebrews, I just kept hoping that through education and discipleship I am able to be a servant for the girls of Proximos Pasos. Hebrews 1:3 says that God is sustaining in all things, this made me realize that sustainability is an important attribute of God.

For the girls in Santa Maria de Jesus, sustainability can be created by educating the girls so that they can have future jobs and teach others. My goal is to teach these girls English and discipleship so that when I leave after 2 years of service the girls in Santa Maria de Jesus will grow up to be women who serve one another, women who give back. My hope is that I can serve the Guatemalan girls so that they can grow up to serve and teach other Guatemalan girls, and therefore creating a sustainable future that grows for generations to come.

Thank you for reading a bit of my heart for the girls!

Santa María de Jesús

Santa María de Jesús is the little town where Proximos Pasos, Mission Impact 's all-girls school, is located. This region is home to an agricultural community; it consists of men who are primarily farmers and field workers, and women who are homemakers as well as vendors of the harvest and their own handmade goods. When I make my way through the town at 6:45am there are small boys, young men, and older men who are probably grandpas who head out with their machetes, rain boots, and empty nets for a day of work. There are some boys and girls who go into the center of town to collect water from the public water reservoir (I guess you can call it?) because their home has no running water. There are women carrying baskets of food/produce/product on their heads to the market to sell for the day. Sometimes they carry their product to the microbús (big vans) to ride into the more populated city in order to sell to a larger population. This is the way that the community fun
