November has been beautiful! The rainy season has come to an end and we are left with cool, breezy afternoons with gorgeous sunsets! The holiday season is in the air, everyone is starting to decorate and we are seeing everyone's spirits shift. As you enjoy this beautiful time of the year with the ones you love, we want to share with you a few praises to glorify God and few requests we ask that you lift in prayer.

Praises
  • We praise God for allowing us to hold another VBS in Zacapa! The kids here look forward to it every year and we love being here to show them God's love and tell them about what Jesus did for them.
  • We glorify God's name because through the hard times this month we have seen His hand and He has not left our side!
  • We praise God for the Holiday Season and how it's just one more season in time in which we can praise His name.
  • Pastor Luis recently preached at a revival crusade in which 103 people came to the Lord! Praise His Holy name!

I have a verse for you...

"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."  1 Thessalonians 5:18

Requests
  • Please continue to lift our staff in prayer, we need wisdom, patience, love, kindness and so much more. Pray that we may feel rested, have energy, and good health to continue 'fighting the good fight'.
  • We are still in need of funds for Zona Cero, youth camp. By faith we've added a day and we know God will provide. 
  • We ask that you join us in prayer for all those who will be traveling during the Holidays. We pray for protection and for a joyous time with their loved ones.
  • Let's join in prayer for our world. For all those who don't know God and that He sent His son Jesus to die for our sins. Pray for all those who do know God but are living their lives otherwise. Let's pray for all nations to come to know Him and proclaim that He is the only one and true God!

VBS in Zacapa
Juan C., Juan P., and Diego
Guatemalan Missionaries
Meet Juan C., Juan P., and Diego. These three young men are from San Juan La Laguna. They attended every training session we held for VBS and Sunday School. While getting ready for VBS in Zacapa, we were met with the predicament that we needed a few extra hands to teach the kids. Juan C. was going to be helping in the kitchen but before we left San Juan he used all his time to help with cutting out shapes and letters to decorate. Juan P. and Diego worked on learning the lessons and being ready to be with the kids. Juan C. came to Zacapa VBS last year, but Juan P. and Diego did not. They have loved every minute of being here. They are great with their classes and the kids have quickly fallen in love with them. Both of them have had quite the missionary experience. They've been taken out of their homes, families, and comfort zones. They have experienced a different kind of poverty and are following a call from God. We are so blessed to witness this trip with them, to see them grow, and to see them follow God. We pray and hope that our staff has impacted their generation, and that one day we'll see them leading VBS with a new generation. To God be the glory!
