DTS Update

We are now starting our 5th week of the DTS and will be focusing on Supernatural Ministry. Our visting teach is Pastor Rod Marquette from Rochester, Minnesota. Rod and a member of his church, Cecil, came last year and had a tremendous impact on the students. We are looking forward to their teachings and all that God will do through them in the lives of the students this week.
We said goodbye to the Backpackers DTS from San Jose, Costa Rica today. They stayed with us for a week after being delayed when Mexicana Airline declared bankruptcy and their flight to Guatemala was cancelled. We enjoyed hosting them and it was a great experience for our students to get to know them and share what God is doing in their lives.
We continue to pray about the location of our outreach beginning October 16. We are considering India and Haiti but remain open to wherever the Lord leads us to go. We want to be His hands of compassion reaching out to a fallen world to bring hope and liberty to those who suffer.

DTS 2010

Our DTS class of 2010 began July 25 with 7 students; 4 from San Pablo La Laguna,Guatemala and 3 from the USA. We have 4 languages represented in the group: English, Spanish, Tzutujil and Mam! Everyone is learing new words from each language to help with our communication. We are looking forward to all that God is going to do in the lives of each student as they spend time seeking Him and learning from the ministers God sends our way to teach them. Please join us in prayer for each of the students, staff and teachers who are involved in the 5 month DTS. Our students from San Pablo have never been away from home for any length of time which is an adjustment for both them and their families. Several of them have never used appliances that the students from the USA have been accustomed to for many years; ie. microwave, gas stove and oven, hot water showers,washer and dryer just to name a few. We have raised support for the 4 Guatemalan students but need to raise more for the 8 week outreach phase which will begin October 15, 2010.
