Confession

Today was our second full day of service and last full day in Guatemala City.  It feels like we have been here a long time (in a good way).  We are packing a lot in!

I traveled with the mime team today.  They are perfecting the 30 minute program.  They performed twice this morning, first to the elementary kids and then the high school students. Many kids responded to the message of forgiveness!  See the photo below!

The sports and drama team was at the same school the mime team performed so I snapped a few photos too!

This mime team is a tight nit group.  They genuinely care for each other and want to keep getting better, not only as mimes, but as Christ followers!

In the afternoon we went to a school downtown.  Over 300 high school students saw the same presentation you saw at our send off service.  William our evangelist from El Salvador did an amazing job holding their attention at the end of the school day!  Hundreds responded!

We came back to the church for a team pasta dinner!  It was really good.

Tonight we were a part of their regular Tuesday night5 prayer service.  We sang more songs in English and Spanish.  It was a beautiful time of worship.  The drama and mime teams performed!  They did an amazing job.  I had the opportunity to preach again tonight on confession.  (James 5:13-16) Confession is a lost discipline of the Christian faith.  I challenged the Americans and Guatemalans to make confession a regular part of their walk.  5-6 students and adults came up to the microphone and started that challenge tonight in front of the whole church.

It was powerful.
Many tears.
So much applause.
And a moving of the Spirit!

Tomorrow is a travel day to Tejutela!  Thanks for your prayers.  We feel them.

Mark
