Guatemala Day 5 - 25 people on a bus

This morning in Zacapa we literally climbed the side of the mountain to reach the community of Camotan which is a mountain village. Despite the facilities for us to sing, tell them stories and give them gifts being extremely small, it was the best day yet. Today, as a group, we came together as the body of Christ in the most beautiful way. Everyone worked together to serve this impoverished community and we were blessed by them just as much or more as they were blessed by us.

We were greeted with signs and cards made by the children and their faces were lit up to know that someone cared about them. Watching these kids receive their shoes and bag of toys was like seeing a child on Christmas morning. The moms were also extremely thankful for the humanitarian aid such as soap, medicine and other necessities that they received.





On the drive back to Guatemala City, the team really expressed the bonding we had experienced over the week. It is obvious that God's hand has been upon our team this week by answering our prayers for unity, humility and servitude. Being able to humbly serve these kids this week brought a new perspective and understanding of the love that God has for all of His children.
