I (Joe) went on my first trip to Guatemala on June 10. What a blessing to meet Pastor David Alvarez and to see the work that the Centro Cristiano Cultural de Guatemala (the church) is doing in their country.
We joined Jeff Whittle and the team from Ecclessia Construction, who were on a short term trip.
We traveled to Rio Dolce, about 6 hours by car from the City. Over 600 children were fed by the feeding ministry that day, after being given a hygiene lesson and having a Bible lesson.
A man from my home church, Catalina Foothills Church in Tucson, Arizona, traveled with me on the trip. Jaime Gibbons was born in Guatemala, and had not been back for a visit in nearly 10 years. God made it possible for Jaime to join me, and as we shared with the as great as we shared with the church about IYT.
