Preparing for Guatemala

A team of 12 FBC folks is getting ready to return to Chimaltenango Guatemala this Sunday, October 10th. Ten members of the team are returnees. Guatemala has just captured our hearts and we want to go back. Welcome aboard to Teresa and Mary Margaret! We are excited that you are part of this mission team.
As we prepare to leave, please pray for:

• health for the team
• safe travel
• blessings on Tony our bus driver who will be driving us to Myrtle Beach at 4:45 AM!
• all of our soccer balls, stuffed animals and over the counter medicines to get through customs without incident
• for the mission team that serves through Grace Ministries - John, Laurie, Luisa, Samuel, Max, Paul, Br. Teddie
• for the local pastors, families, and communities that we will meet as we build houses (10), offer medical clinics (3-4), distribute food baskets (150), and share laughter, smiles and the love of God.

May we offer all that we have and all that we are and watch God turn it in to so much more.

"We seldom realize fully that we are sent to fulfill God-given tasks. We act as if we were simply dropped down in creation and have to decide to entertain ourselves until we die. But we were sent into the world by God, just as Jesus was. Once we start living our lives with that conviction, we will soon know what we were sent to do."      - Henri Nouwen

Grace,
