A Group from Michigan.

A few months ago Steve, a member of the Living Waters Church, came to Guatemala to look for opportunities to minister. He visited our ministry and we shared with him our needs and when he went back to his church, the pastor decided to help us with some projects.

A couple weeks ago some members of the church came with Gary who is the pastor of the Church. He shared Sunday morning at our church and it was a very good sermon about being fruitful in our spiritual lives, and how even when we are fruitful God sometimes prunes us back in order to be even more fruitful.

On Monday eight people from the group came to the rehab center to replace the cement floors in two of the bedrooms that were in a very bad shape. Even though they were not used to working the way we work here in Guatemala, they were very excited to learn how to mix cement by hand. We can't use a mix machine because is very expensive.

Over the four days that they were here, they ripped out the old cement and put the new one and painted the wall of the two bedrooms. Men of the ministry worked along side the team and even though that they couldn't speak to each other, it was a very good experience for everybody. We had a very good time sharing our faith in Jesus as well as our lives.
They had already taken the old cement out. Now it is ready for the new cement.

The group was able to come and eat lunch with the kids during the week and on Thursday more members of the group were able to come and do a craft and play.

After they played with the kids the group shared their testimonies at the rehab center.

God really blessed us with this group because He showed us his love through them. Both the kids and the men enjoyed their company and we would love for them to come and visit us again.

Thanks Living Waters Church for coming.
God bless.
