All the groups were active with a full day of service.
The mime team performed twice and they are getting really good at putting on their make-up.
The service team laid concrete in the second level Sunday school classrooms at Renuevo (Renew) Church. They will resurface the entire parking lot tomorrow!
The children's team had a great start working in small little groups playing with the kids and doing their 45 minute program with songs, testimony from Camryn and games.
Sports and drama played one soccer game in the morning and basketball in the afternoon. Hundreds of students saw and heard about the Gospel through the drama.
The medical team treated 95 patients. While those patients waited for their medicine from our pharmacy, we prayed with all of them. God healed five people instantly and we prayed with two people to receive Christ for the very first time.
One woman couldn't raise her right arm above her waist, and you can see from the picture that Jesus healed her completely!
In the evening we had a time of worship, an amazing faith story from one of our translators and I preached from Mark 2 and I encouraged our team to not let fear paralyze them from stepping into the mission of God.
We continue to serve a full day tomorrow in Guatemala City with a special church prayer service in the evening from 7-9pm.
Thanks for all of your prayers! We can feel them.
Sounds like an awesome first day! Praying for you all.
