In just a few days I'll be heading to Colonia Chacalte, Guatemala with 14 others from Enon Baptist Church to work with the local church there to share Christ in this community. Those that will be traveling with us are Bro John, Vickie Anderson, Daniel Arant, Melissa Archer, Debbie Barnwell (my mother), Julie Barnwell (my new bride), Michael Brooks, Summer Brooks, Linda Creel, John Gospodareck, Kathy McKinnon Langham, Steffani Mydland, Randy Skinner and MacKenzie Wood. We will be leaving out this coming Saturday, March 20th and will returning the following Saturday, March 27th. If you are curious about where we will be working, Colonia Chacalte is a small village in Cuyotenango and in the same region as Mazatenaygo, a somewhat lager city. We will be about 30 minute drive from the coast in the southwestern corner of the country. Temperature should be in the 90s. That's pretty much all I know.
Please pray that we would faithful share the good news of Christ and that God would be glorified in all that we do. As Paul said in 1 Corinthians 1:17, "Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel". As we work with the indigenous churches of the area, it is our genuine prayer that the we would see new brothers and sisters come to faith in Christ this week. But if we are faithful in representing Christ as best we can, we know God will find glory.
Please pray for us and for the citizens of Guatemala (specifically of Colonia Chacalte) as we set our the share the love of Christ in new territory.
Grace and peace,
Doug
