Guatemala Missions Trip

Steve left Wednesday, August 8, for a missions trip to San Antonio La Paz, Guatemala. For a week he joined other people from our church in building the second floor to Iglesia Bautista Independente Peniel (Jacob's Ladder Independent Baptist Church). He also had the opportunity to preach there on two Wednesday nights and a Sunday evening. He preached Sunday morning at a different church in Guatemala City. The highlight of the trip for Steve was the last night they were there when the mother of the deacon in the church prayed to accept Christ. He got back safe on Thursday, August 16 after leaving San Antonio La Paz at 3 am, spending 30 minutes completely stopped in traffic, having his flight cancelled in Houston due to a tropical storm, getting the last seat on a flight into Greenville, and finally arriving at 7 pm with no luggage. Typical Steve story!

So... what did he end up getting for you in the market?? Glad that he made it back safe, and that he had a great time of ministry!
