Orphanage Visits 2
Today – our last day in Guatemala – was as overhwhelming, productive, fruitful and amazing as all the preceding days you’ve been reading about. We have been so blessed here!
Through our two orphanage visits today, the Lord blessed us with staff members at each home who were willing to share their personal testimonies with us of how they got to where they are working at the orphanage. Hearing their stories and seeing the honest, raw and TRUE faith they had (and have) in God’s plans for them made Open Doors Orphanage more real for us than ever before. We know that the plans God has for this home are good and true and beautiful, and while it’s challenging not seeing one step ahead, we know that our Lord will bless our reliance on Him with more than we can ask or imagine.
Today was also another long day, and we end our time here in Guatemala (or this time at least
) tired and weary, but filled to the very tip top with the love of Jesus Christ. This week, we’ve seen the Holy Spirit moving in Guatemala and changing this country in incredible ways. Without your prayers, our time here may have been very different. We are so blessed by you!
We’re leaving the mission base in Chimaltenango in about four hours (yes, that means we’re leaving at 3 am…), so please pray for safe travels back to the United States, continued good health and a renewed sense of the love and mighty power of our one true Lord and Savior.
These few days have been only one small part of God’s amazing, grand, unbelievable plan for Open Doors Orphanage. We cannot wait to continue pursuing His will from home and here in Guatemala and we pray that you’ll join us in the journey.
