Mother/Daughter Team in Guatemala

The mother/daughter team in Guatemala has been sharing the story of Esther this week to girls, ages 4-18, and encouraging them to be brave and trust God. It's a great story considering Esther wasn't just beautiful and courageous -- she was an orphan, too. Our hope is for these children to learn that when they trust God, they can overcome anything. They can go on to do something big with their lives.

We've all been learning to lean on God and trust him in his infinite goodness this week. It's hard to sweep in and spend two hours with a group of children, only to leave and never know your impact. We want to see the fruit. We want to be a part of it. But that isn't always our role in life. Our role is to play our part, the part given to us by God. This week, our role has been to laugh and sing, to play and love; to give as many hugs and kisses possible and to pray without ceasing. We'll let the Holy Spirit do the rest.
