I was recently talking with some of my friends in Guatemala about how Spanish speakers are all over the world. They responded something like, “We are everywhere!” It’s true. Spanish speakers can be found all over the world and they tend to build communities wherever they go. In those communities across Latin American and other …

Filling the distances
We continue reaching out in our neighborhood through the Little Disciples Bible Study. Even with required social distancing, we keep looking for ways to fill those distances with real relationship that points to Jesus. That includes teaching Bible principles and sometimes that means visiting our students and their families in their homes, praying for one …
Teaching the Old Testament
Michael is teaching a class on the Old Testament with both in-person classes and an online segment as we continue finding ways to reach out and build up leaders with Bible training during COVID-19 restrictions.

Ten Years in Guatemala
It was January 28, 2011, when Chrisi and I walked out of the airport in Guatemala City and started our new life and ministry here in the mountains of Central America.

Teaching money management
Money isn’t easy to come by in Lemoa–a small farming community about 20 minutes down the road from Chichicastenango in the mountains of Guatemala–for that matter neither are stable jobs or education (if you want to study anything past the sixth grade). Yet, in this village one church is training a team of young adults …
The Little Disciples are back!
After nine months of closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Little Disciples Bible study has re-opened! We are glad to see many of those children who were here before returning and new students joining us as well. Back in mid-March, businesses, ministries and schools were forced to close across Guatemala as the nation went …

Willing learners
A rural church is leading classes and workshops to train rural teens for a better future. On the outskirts of the town of Lemoa, a dusty gravel road leads to a tidy little church building where a group of 11 students are being discipled in God’s word and taught practical skills that are designed to …
