We are gearing up for a very busy time at the base during the months of June through October. We will be hosting 2 DTS groups on their outreach, conducting our Summer Spanish School and Outreach, serving 3 church groups coming for short term outreach, conducting a medical clinic, building a home and starting our next DTS. We were blessed to host a DTS from ChiriquÃ, Panama in May and also attend the Central America YWAM Conference in Guatemala City.
We anticipate construction on the next phase of our facility to begin in June. The new construction will include garage space for 3 vehicles, a storage room and two large multipurpose rooms. We are raising funds for this next phase and ask for your prayers to help us reach our goal of $40,000.
We are also in the process of securing legal recognition as an association in Guatemala. This will give us the ability to receive donations, set up a bank account and help missionaries obtain visas to work with YWAM Antigua.
We are always looking for more voluntary missionaries who have completed a YWAM DTS to join us. If you are interested in serving with us please contact us!
Our base is very involved in our community and the reports below are reflective of the work each of our missionaries is conducting to bring transformation to Guatemala.

Our DTS
starting in Feb. kept us very busy during the lecture phase. In the beginning
of May, we attended together the YWAM conference in Guatemala City.
Afterwards
the DTS Team ministered another week in the capital with Joshua and Joe and are
now serving in Huehuetenango, a big city about 5 hours from here. We heard
great reports of their ministry in parks, a prison and in a hospital. They are
working together with a church, teaching, preaching and helping with their home
groups, doing children’s ministry and a program for adults.
Sarah and
I have been home during this time, helping at the base, taking time to pray,
visiting people in need, meeting with friends for prayer and sharing and
planning for a future team to come in the summer.
Just last week we welcomed a new staff member, Angela and currently I am helping her to settle in and find her way around in Antigua. It is great to have her, please pray for her to learn Spanish and to find her place in the ministry.
