Mission Trip to Guatemala is a Success!

A Guatemalan Baptist Church, Operation GO leaders, and two American churches, partnered to distrubute over 400 Gospels of Luke to people anxious to hear the Good News. It was a wonderful week of fellowship with 40 decisions made for Christ and several re-dedications reported.

The volunteers began their trip by worshiping with Pastor Benedicto Xata and his congregation. Singing, testimonies, and a Gospel message by Pastor Paul Murphy (team leader and pastor of First Baptist Church Arab, Alabama) helped mold the group together for a positive relationship between the volunteers and church workers.

Door-to-door witnessing, evangelizing, distribution of the Gospel of Luke, and praying with the people, was all part of God's plan. Many people in Pueblo shared with the team, "We are Catholic but we know why you are here…you have a message from God for us, and we want to listen to what you have to say."

The missionaries who worked with the volunteers stated, "We enjoyed tremendously the fellowship and labor of love this team presented to the people in Guatemala, and to both of these churches. To God be the glory and praise for it all, and may it encourage us to continue in the faith with even greater effort."
