Guatemala Mission - Time with Nick Miller




Boarding "Chicken Bus"

 On Friday we were fortunate to join with Nick Miller and the Students International (SI) team.  We caught the Chicken bus up to Magdalena with the SI teams to visit their work sites.  We were amazed at all that these student’s had done in their two week mission with SI to Guatemala. They lived with host families in Magdalena, which is the town that Nick lives in. They helped with various projects in this area. From agriculture, social work, micro finance, helping in the elementary school and social work in Hermano Pedro hospital in Anitgua, these students experienced first hand what it’s like to help the Guatemalan people.

The kids at this elementary school performed for the team. Then we visited some of the classrooms. After visiting each site the team gathered and prayed for specific prayer requests for each site.

The teams gathered for a banquet Friday evening in Magdalena for a celebration and closure of the two weeks they had been serving in this community. At the banquet they shared many of their experiences during their stay. We were very much touched by their testimonies. It was obvious that God was truly at work through these kids making a significant impact on this community.

Throughout the day, one of the things that really stood out for us was the emphasis on building relationships with the people. It was a blessing to spend time with Nick and the SI Teams in Magdalena.
