8 days and counting!

Wow, only two more days and we will be home. I have to admit I am ready! It has been a great trip but also long and tiring. God is awesome and we have been blessed. Pastors Charlie and Marissa leave tomorrow. As we speak they are climbing one of Guatemala’s active Volcanoes, Volcan Pacaya. That should be a wonderful adventure! It has been hard to keep the blog updated due to limited internet access. Now so much has gone on I am not sure where to start and what to say… Pastors Charlie and Marissa have been a blessing to everyone they have come across. There have been many one on one ministry sessions and God has healed, blessed and encouraged. Last night we went through breaking Generational Curses with a group of 4 couples who are leaders at the church we were working with. It went very well and also empowered them to do the same with others. A lot of what we have been doing is training at the church. They taught two Tuesday nights at the Leadership Institute at church, there were around 50 people each night. Thursday and Friday morning this past week they taught a group of 6 pastors in training. Marissa shared on God’s Love at the women’s meeting Saturday and all 60 women came forward for prayer! It took awhile but God ministered to each of them and many left freed! I have translated a lot and it is tiring but fun! On Friday morning while we were with the group teaching the Director of the school at the church brought a boy in that has Factor 8 disease, where his blood doesn’t clot and when he starts bleeding it just pours out and is very hard to stop. We prayed for him for about 30 minutes and it stopped bleeding completely! We believe he is healed, praise God! As I said before a lot has happened! Thank you all for your prayers, we have truly felt them! I will add some more pictures a little later. Blessings!
