Wonderful Wednesday: Dedication Day

                 Our morning started out with a bang. A volcano in the distance rumbled and we saw ash puff out, which was really neat to see. After that, Bill Fennema wrapped up the week by leading us in devotions this morning, while including the other devotions from earlier in the week. Shortly after devotions, we went outside to take pictures of the group in our theme shirts, and went off to the village, La Alemada, for dedications. 

                    12 new homes were dedicated to our new Guatemalan friends. We split into 2 groups, and both dedicated 6 houses. One group was led by Pastor Isabel, the local pastor in the village, along with Kirk, a missionary that works closely with the groups and translator. The other group was led by Pastor Max, a pastor friend of Grace Ministries, and Josh Suruy, the translator that works with most groups. Dedications consist of presenting the family with food, household goods, and Bibles, as well as prayer to bless their new homes. We close dedications by singing the Doxology in Spanish, and lighting firecrackers. The dedications were very powerful and emotional, and it is a very special time for all that came to serve and those that are receiving the home.

                    After getting back from the village, we went to another village very close to the mission house, and did more food distribution. It was bittersweet to complete our last task of loving and serving the people of Guatemala. The smiling faces at the food distribution, along with hugs of gratefulness, was a great way to fill our hearts and minds with precious memories of our time in Guatemala. It was a great week and we all feel blessed to have had the opportunity to come here.

  2. Great spllcaster that bring back my ex husband .

    I am not sure I could have done it without you. I contacted a real spell caster that helped me change my husband’s heart to love and want me again, and he really did and now we are very happy together. My husband left me for another woman, This was just 3 years of our marriage. The most painful thing is that I was pregnant with our second baby. I wanted him back. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster called dr unity, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before 11 hours. He cast the spell and surprisingly 11 hours later my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again.thanks to dr unity . if you are here and your Lover is turning you down, or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact Dr.Unity for help now..
