Thursday

After a long couple of days we had the great fun of zip lining in the rain forest. Lake Atitlan was on one side and the rainforest with beautiful waterfalls embraced us on the other side. It was exciting to watch our team members scream through the air! God’s creation is amazing!

For the next 2 hours we drove through the windy mountainous area to Chichicastenango to check out the work that Pray America and our very own Tammy Huizenga were doing. We met in their new home that was constructed for trafficked girls; the vision of this ministry is inspiring.

The afternoon was filled with a windy, bumpy ride to a village.  We arrived to children singing and dancing in their bible classes.  Walking into their classrooms the children, who were sitting on blue wooden benches jumped into our arms. 

We completed our time there by helping the Pray America team serve these 200 children dinner.  To our amazement, most of the children scraped the tortillas, eggs and beans into a small plastic bag or container to take home to their families.

We spent this day with three wonderful students who have stayed with families in Michigan.  Luis, Rossy and Marvin joined us in all of our adventures it was a blessing to be reunited with them.

Thank you Father for giving us time to play and rest in the midst of serving you. We praise you for Tammy and her team in Chichi. We ask for you to increase their influence in this community and that your Glory and love would be shown.
