Guatemala 2015
Who?
We are a team of 14. The leaders are Michael and Dr Edith Coombes of Bridghouse Ministries. They have been working and doing missions for 40 plus years and have traveled literally all over the world to 100's of countries. I am blessed to be able to participate on this mission with my youngest daughter Hope.
Where?
Guatemala to work along side House of Refuge ministries.
What?
This NOT a vacation or holiday........This IS mission trip.
We are building a chicken coop and providing the chickens , feed, etc for a widowed mother of 3.
We will be assisting a local Doctor and our own Nurse Alicia with an all day free medical clinic. We hope to be able to provide the medicines needed .Those on our team who are not comfortable with medical will doing drama's and playing with the children while they wait or while their parents receive care.
We will be taking food to the hungry.
We will be visiting and helping at an orphanage, providing food and toys
We will be hosting a breakfast for a group called Friends of Jesus, this group helps woman who have been taken advantage of and violated.
We will be participating in church service, our group is currently learning a worship song in Spanish.
We will be doing whatever the team that is there now needs, this may include building another chicken coop, building a food tunnel, building a room on to the current building.
Some of us have chosen to leave our clothes behind when we return home,and bless the people there
We are staying in the mission house NOT in a hotel or resort.
We will be eating the local cuisine.....I keep hearing black beans, black beans, black beans....I like black beans, but I guess I may not ever want them again when we get back home lol( or so I am told)
We will have one day of sight seeing and shopping in the local market for souvenirs or small tokens to bring home. :)
Why?
Because there is a need.........

Because there is a need.........
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Found in Mathew chapter 25
Also the bible say......
Also the bible say......
And Jesus unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

~Fundraising efforts are the responsibility of each team member to raise the funds necessary to go.
*My First Deadline is October 29 th ( passport and inoculation fees for Hope and myself) )
*Teams first dead line is November 30th for Airfare ( that is why my first pay out on "Losing it in Guatemala" is November 22nd)
We will be meeting with our team to finalize financial deadlines for other monies to be collected.
so that's the 5 W's of the Mission Trip as I know it.
Here is a picture from the orphanage on one of Pastor Michael and Dr Coombes visits to Guatemala in 2009
stay tuned tonight for exercise updates and how my day was "Losing It for Guatemala"
