April News

We just finished Holy Week (Semana Santa) in Antigua which is the biggest celebration of the year. Thousands of people come to watch the processionals and view the alfombras (rugs) made of colored sawdust and flowers and fruit. It is quite a scene to take in but also a great time to do evangelism as people are thinking about the crucifixion of Christ.
We will be hosting 2 YWAM DTS groups in April,one from Belize and another from Minneapolis. We always enjoy working with fellow ywamers!
We have continued to host our weekly Kids Club at the base and have between 40-100 kids coming. Many of the teams that come are prepared with special programs for the children which they thoroughly enjoy.
The Feeding Program in Panabaj will take place April 10 which an evangelistic outreach planned with a youth group from San Pablo La Laguna. It will be the youth groups first ever outreach to another community!
We continue to pray for more staff for our base so if you are a Ywamer and are looking for an opportunity to serve the wonderful people of Guatemala we invite you to check us out.
