August Update

We are less than one month away from our DTS and we are excited about the students God has given us. We have been praying for 10 students and it looks like we will have 9 coming in September. Four of the students are from Guatemala. They speak Tzutujil as their first language and Spanish is their second language. We are blessed to have them be a part of this life changing experience. Please keep all the students in your prayers as they make final preparations to come.
We hosted a group from Knoxville, TN this month who came to do a construction project with another ministry. They put in some long days of work and accomplished a lot in the short time they were here. We are blessed to be able to have a facility that can accommodate teams comfortably and it is always good to fellowship with believers from different parts of the world who come here.
We will be hosting a group of artists from Pepperdine University on August 14 for a week or so. They have shipped art supplies here and will be distributing them and doing ministry using the talents God has given them.
We are looking for a new ministry site for Higher Grounds Coffee House as we will be vacating our present site at the end of October. We are working with Seeds of Hope Ministry as they will be taking over the operation of the coffee house and will be focusing on ministering to the Guatemalan youth. Please pray that God will open up a perfect place for the ministry to be established and for all the helpers that are needed to carry out the ministry.
