It was my honor and privilege to be a part of a delegation to Guatemala in 2013. Bethesda, along with Amazing Grace and Living Joy, are partnered with Milagros de Dios in Las Rosas. We have been visiting them since 2008 and have enjoyed watching them grow.
I have seen the pictures of the land before the church was built and the ones of the early building when the roof went on. I was there and saw the church after the doors and windows were installed.
The experience changed my life. I found the people I met to be so humble, so gracious and so giving. It is again my honor and privilege to be traveling to Guatemala this June.
I am so excited and can't wait to see our Guatemalan brothers and sisters in Christ, and to see what they have done with the church. I have seen some pictures and they have stuccoed the outside and have put in a cement floor. They are amazing.
