March Update




Last month we hosted a team from Faith Harvest Helpers based in Washington. They came to Guatemala to help distribute a shipment of canned salmon, soup mix, dried peaches, medicine and books to areas of need in Guatemala. The shipment came into port in December but it was not released for distribution until the team left on February 16. It was disappointing for them to not be able to do what they had hoped yet they used their time in Guatemala to minister to many people. The food has been distributed since they left and many people have been blessed by the hard work these people put into the shipment. Our YWAM base has in storage some of the food that we will use on various outreaches we conduct as well as with the feeding program we have in Antigua.
Currently we are hosting a youth group from Connexus church near Toronto. They are doing ministry with local children and working in several other ministries that we are involved in. This is the third year the group has come and we are grateful for the opportunity to work with them.
We are receiving applications for our DTS which will begin on July 24, 2011. We are anticipating a group of 10 students and are looking forward to the 5 months of training with them.
