This morning we got an early start (5:30). And after breakfast we headed to Linda vista which is a squatter village here in Guatemala city. They estimate that there are 250000 people living in the region and most of which live in tin shacks or small cement block houses. While we were there we meet pastor Gorge and his team who spend their lives ministering to the people of the community. The whole experience was the type of thing that will stick in the hearts and minds of everyone on the team. To see that level of poverty it's hard to remain unchanged.
While in Linda vista we split out time between 4 schools where we interacted with 700 ish students throughout the day. They were split into about twenty groups which we sang with and acted out the story of Joseph and the good Samaritan. It was absolutely amazing and eye opening to love on and interact with so many little ones.
We came back to the house of blessing around 4:30 and have spent the evening relaxin, eating dinner, worshipping together, and discussing how we can and should react to everything that we have seen today. There have been a lot of great discussions and it's exciting to see how God is working in each team members lives.
We would ask all of you to be praying for the ministry of pastor George, for all the kids we meet with today, an for a young man named Kevin that we meet this afternoon. He is a kid that's at the age where the gangs start targeting him, his mom was just arrested in the us for trying to smuggle in drugs, an he feels like god is calling him to be a pastor. He obviously could use some prayers. Also for our team we would live for you to pray for extra energy tomorrow and for it to not be rai
