Vamos a Guatemala!

The countdown is ticking to this evening @ 9:30 when LIFT 40 will launch from CAMP-of-the-WOODS to fly like eagles to the beautiful country and culture of Guatemala.  All of the students have been working very hard the last few weeks preparing for our time of serving with and learning from the missionaries with Students International.

The students will be in groups of 2 or 3 living in the homes of the people of the small mountain village of Magdalena.  During the days they will be helping with the various ministry sites they have chosen (medical, education, microfinance, social work, appropriate technology, sports, veterinary/agriculture, arts, sports)  and be shadowing a missionary for two weeks, observing and experiencing what it means to live out the mission of God in a cross- cultural context.

Please keep checking in with our blog as we will be posting information every few days to help those of you supporting us to know how to pray.

Please be praying for the team as we travel and interact with the wonderful people with a rich Mayan and Spanish history.  Our hope is to allow our Lord and savior to radiate through our lives as we share his life, love and light with a hurting and broken world - for we all were rescued from the dominion of darkness and brought into the kingdom of the Son God loves, in whom we have complete redemption and forgiveness of sins. 

Lord go before us and open hearts and doors to this amazing news so that we may be able to share it clearly and openly as we should.
