Today marks the final day of business for Higher Grounds Coffee House. The Coffee House was started by Rob Hastings 8 years ago and has been in its present location for almost 6 years. HGCH served as a place for Christians to gather in a peaceful atmosphere and enjoy great cakes, cookies and other sweet things that you do not find in Guatemala especially if you are a student living with a local family. Beyond that it has been a connecting point for people who are in Antigua for ministry, study or just being a tourist. The last year has been financially very difficult for us as business has slowed because of the economic problems. Our base does not have enough staff to run it and do all the other ministry that we are doing so we have decided to place our focus on those things and pray that God will raise ups someone else to run a coffee house ministry. We thank the Lord for the many lives that have been ministered to through the coffee house and believe that it is still a needed ministry in Antigua.
We will still continue to host the Thursday night worship service in English. Abner has been our worship leader for the past year and he will be getting married next week and leaving for the USA. He has been a vital part of the ministry at Higher Grounds and will be missed by many. We pray God's blessings on him and Katie as they start their new lives.
