Our Newest Team Member!!!

This is Dan, our newest team member. Dan lived in Orlando, FL but
has decided to come down to Guatemala to work with us for a short
time.
Dan has been spending most of his time hitting the Spanish books
and getting adjusted to life down here, but once January arrives, we
will all be working non-stop for months.
We are super excited about what God has for Dan, so please pray for
him as he learns the ins-and-outs of life on the missions field.
 Church Plant At Our Camp In El Salvador

In January, the ministry will be sending me to live and work at our base camp
in El Salvador. I will be continuing to work side by side with all of the
ministries that we have in Guatemala, but I will be sent to our camp near La
Libertad, El Salvador to begin expanding the ministry’s influence in the
region by prepping to receive more teams and by helping plant a youth
church in our main building (right).

Our camp is located in a very rural, secluded area where there is virtually no
healthy outlet for the youth to connect to. As a result, so many of the area’s
youth are lost in drugs, alcohol, and gang activity. We believe God is direct-
ing us to plant this church, specifically for the youth, to rescue them from all
the pressures that they are fighting against.

This is quite possibly the largest responsibility I have ever taken, so please Alicia speaking at our first youth service at the

forever. We had over 110 people show up on our first night.

Master’s Commission

On January 18, we will be re-starting our Master’s

Commission program for students from Guatemala and
El Salvador.
Master’s Commission is a worldwide discipleship
program, lasting between 6-9 months, where students
come to work and train themselves in different minis-
tries to prepare them for the future for all that God has
for them.
This is such an amazing opportunity for our students,
because there are little or no opportunities for them to
receive this kind of training at almost no cost.
This program is designed to be extremely intensive and
very difficult, so please pray for our new students as
they learn to adjust and become all that God desires
them to be.
