About us
What can we tell you about us?
1) My wife, Pat, and I have been faithful to very deep convictions that God has given us for an apostolic work of love here in Guatemala and with all Latin people.
-
We came to Guatemala in 1990 with our two sons at the ages of nine and eleven years old. Years later, along the way, we adopted a little Mayan Indian boy who was eleven at the time, and then years later we adopted his older brother who was twenty-one. Eighteen years have passed since arriving in Guatemala; during this time we have come to know the miracle-working God of signs and wonders, and how precious these people are.
-
2) As a Christian missionary organization, we really want to do a deep work of God in personal lives as well as improve the living conditions of a nation that cannot offer its people at this time:
- an economy,
- jobs,
- a future for young people,
- medical care,
- safety,
- education,
- comfort for the soul or
- a word of hope.
