| God keeps His promises! : Guatemala |
GuatemalaOM InternationalOM Guatemala leader Pilar Castro says that although they started last year with a large financial deficit, their slogan for 2009 was the Lord's promise of provision in Isaiah 41:10. And God kept that promise! "We worked in 20 schools in the country giving talks about values and sharing God's love in creative ways with 6,179 students. In all, 1,632 of them chose to follow Jesus Christ! We saw miracles in the lives of these young people. We also gave training to 153 Guatemalan pastors and leaders, and had a medical campaign attended by 1,484 people. Among these, 268 adults and 150 children are now believers."Ninety people from various churches participated in a missionary breakfast, and the team distributed food to 280 indigent people in a 'Too Valuable to Lose' project. In neighbouring Peru, volunteers made a considerable impact by working with local churches to tell over 1,000 people about the Living God. Several hundred opened their hearts to the Lord. Pilar adds that during the most recent 'Leave Your Mark' campaign in November-December 2009, food was given out in a drought-stricken area, and 157 individuals came to faith. "God allowed us to bless many people in 2009," says Pilar. "Pray that in 2010 we can continue to be a team the Lord uses as an instrument of blessing to those who still do not know Him!"
