Hardship in Guatemala…

Hello everyone.  During these weeks at school we have been attending a small indigenous church in the pueblo of San Antonio.  It is a church similar in many ways to our church in Panajachael, and is the type many of you would want to minister to.  They themselves are trying to reach out to assist an even poorer, smaller pueblo on the side of a volcano outside of Esquintla, and helping a core of three families are spreading the gospel where there is no evangelical influence.  We are joining them to help with the task.  A local doctor from the San Antonio church very much wants to help with medical needs there, but needs funds to supply much needed to the poorest of the poor there.  We are asking you in the medical professions for help in gathering medications to be brought down to help with these needs.  Of particular need are anti-biotics, anti-parasite/aoemba/worm medications, analgesics, and cold/flu meds.  Anyone that can help, let us know and we will instruct how to send them to CAM Dallas who will get them to us.

In the more immediate term, we are trying to gather funds to buy meds locally to have a clinic in August.  Please consider helping us in this effort.  Tax deductable donations can be sent through CAM at the address below.

Thanks in advance for your prayerful consideration.

And please keep praying for Guatemala.  The food and fuel situation have become substantially worse over the last six months, and the poor are suffering in many ways.  Thank you in joining us in countering the work of the enemy, and in our effort to help others focus on our purpose, that of giving glory to our God.

I Cor. 10:31
