Hola!!

Welcome to our blog!

In 11 days (Aug 31st) we will be departing for Tactic, Guatemala to begin our journey of serving with Impact Ministries in Tactic, Guatemala. As we leave Canada & make this journey to a different part of the world, it is our desire to come alongside the work that God is doing in and through Impact Ministries. We have created this site to share this journey with you, our family & friends. This is our first attempt at blogging and we will attempt to provide updates at least a couple of times a week - so check back often for updates. We will be returning to Calgary on Oct 24th.

This is our second trip to Tactic - the first one was earlier this year in May on a 10 day trip with a Young Adults team from Foothills Alliance Church. No, we are not considered young adults any longer but they graciously allowed us older folks to tag along. What an amazing trip it was - from ministering to the children in the mountainous village of Chacoltay, worshipping with the staff/children at the various schools each morning, shovelling dirt & painting at the school at Purulha, visiting our 2 sponsor kids & families along with other kids sponsored by members of our group, spending an evening dining on a traditional Guatemalan meal in a local home to our times spent as a group debreifing every evening!! This trip will be different as we will be gone for 8 weeks and will serve as hosts of the Guest House here in Tactic. We will be hosting the short term mission teams that come from various parts of Canada & the USA to experience what we did on our first trip. We are so looking forward to serving in this capacity and feel God has called us to this place at this time. The Guatemalan people became very special to us during our first visit and we look forward to spending more time with them.

If you think of us over the next few months, please pray that as we serve here in Guatemala & interact with the locals, teams & staff, that our thoughts, actions & words would give glory to our Lord & Saviour. We serve a great God!!

Bendiciones!!
