EMPEZAMOS!

 LIFT 46 has started its mission trip with Students International (SI) in Magdalena, Guatemala.  We arrived after midnight after a long, but smooth day of traveling on Saturday.  

Our time in Guatemala began the next morning with attending Shoreline City Church in Antigua.  Pastor Nate challenged us all with lessons of what if means to live in the Kingdom of God - a theme that LIFTers have focused on all semester with memorizing the Sermon on the Mount.  The students had time after church to briefly explore the colorful and historic city of Antigua before returning to Magdalena for a time of orientation with our amazing host, Nivia Saravia.

Everyone launched into serving at their ministry sites on Monday and have been going full throttle since then.  It has been a very busy start and no time to stop and write, but things will be normalizing and we will have a sampling of the LIFT students posting their experiences as part of this blog.  Stay tuned and please keep us all in prayer as we desire to learn from the SI missionaries and be filled with the Holy Spirit to serve the Lord for his glory.
