the first thing i learned...

The first thing I learned even before going to Guatemala... was that ... besides the team I was with...I was still not going alone.

Supported mostly by my home church: Pilgrim OPC I went to Guatemala as a messenger of Christ's love... representing many followers of Christ. Through prayers and financial support I received abundant blessings from many members of the house hold of God in which we are family. Thank you for supporting Christ's mission to Guatemala...thank you for helping to "send me".

On April 13 I wrote in my journal:
"From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another..." John 1: 16

I have seen in one way how God connects us to be a blessing through this experience already. Your care, love, and support (both financial and especially prayer) is an overwhelming blessing to me... and (praise God) ultimately for the glory of God! It is the Lord God that we serve and it is His work that we... WE do together. "The body has many parts... all to be used for glorifying God!"...in unity with each other! You have enabled me to serve God overseas...I cannot be thankful enough for you. Oh, how I praise God for you!

I look forward to sharing with you what I learned about serving the Least, Lost and Last.

May the Light of the Lords countenance shine upon you and be gracious to you.

Loves.
