LIFT just returned from the final event of their time in Guatemala - the hike up to the summit of Volcan Acetenago (13,044'). It was a 5-hour hike with full packs to the 12,000' base camp, which ended up being in the clouds and pretty windy and cold. By 9 PM last night the clouds blew off and everyone was treated to a beautiful starry night and the twinkling stars lights of distant cities and villages throughout southern Guatemala. Volcan Fuego (the active volcano a mile away from the campsite) erupted multiple times throughout the night, with spectacular displays of magma and molten rocks flying from the summit and lava flowing down its flanks. God was demonstrating his power and beauty in all they have seen in the last two days in addition to the many, many ways they have seen God work throughout the last two weeks at their different ministry sites.
LIFT rose early to start hiking for and hour and a half in the dark with headlamps to make it to the cone to take in the sunrise. After an hour on the summit they descended and broke camp and returned to the Students International community center for a spaghetti lunch. They are now debriefing and will be heading to their "homes" to have their final meal with their families then pack.
They depart @ 3:45 AM to head to the airport and should return to CAMP-of-the-WOODS by midnight.

Thank you very much for your prayer support - we know God was working through the many prayers offered up these last two weeks.
