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!

Four Months Left!

Jesus said "I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you." John 13:15 Hello! It's July 2018! That's crazy because it means I have already been in Guatemala for a year and a half! I’ve been teaching English, discipling the girls in Bible classes, and building relationships with the girls and their families through both devotionals and home visits here in Santa María de Jesús.  I absolutely appreciate every way that you all help me and support me. As many of you might know I’ve been receiving about 76% of monthly support, some months I receive more and some less. When I haven’t received the full 100% support, I've thankfully had money in my savings to make ends meet. But now my savings are no more and I need to get to 100% funding. I would so appreciate your help to finish up this commitment to serve in Guatemala (and even with getting back home)! I need your help! This feels like a huge reque...
