Jesus gave us a mandate in Mark 16:15 when He said, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." But sometimes we as Christians get so involved with our own agendas in our own little world and leave little time for the spreading of the gospel to every creature. This is also very true in Guatemala and all of Latin America, where many churches have a service or church activity planned for every night of the week. One of the major parts of our ministry is to get involved with these churches, teach them tangible ways to minister outside of the four walls of the church building and partner with them in evangelistic activities in the community. Then the other side of this is taking new believers deeper in their Christian walk by getting them dependent upon the Word of God and its promises.
Evangelism & Discipleship Photo Gallery:
Construction: God's love can also be demonstrated to others through physical labor and building projects. By joining with a local community or rural church and assisting them with a construction need, it gives us the opportunity to encourage local workers and allows us to be a good witness to the entire area.
Relational Evangelism: Relationships are the key to a successful evangelism program in Guatemala. We use this technique to teach Guatemalans how to use their friendships with co-workers, classmates, acquaintances etc. in a concentrated effort to lead them to a personal relationship with Jesus.
School Assemblies & Drama: It's very exciting when a local school allows us to go into the classrooms and share the Gospel. We sing songs, play games, color and do crafts. The kids love it and we walk away very blessed.
Street Ministry: Taking the Gospel to the streets of Guatemala. This could be door-to-door evangelism and prayer or live worship in the town center drawing the crowds sharing a message and praying for salvations. Either way the people of Guatemala receive our message and lives are changed forever.
Vacation Bible Schools: The adventure of exploring new remote mountain villages is enhanced by the joy that is received from the kids of these villages as they learn about Jesus thru vacation bible school. Teams come with pre-planned lessons, games, crafts and skits. Fun is had by everyone! Even the older kids and adults will watch from afar.
Village Outreach: From medical missions to construction projects to passing out bags of food. The indigenous people of Guatemala are open to our message and are in great need of food, clothing, medicine and mostly Jesus.
Skateboard Ministry: We're reaching out to the young people of Guatemala using extreme sports. Our skateboard ministry is a huge success. The young people are coming to know Jesus as their saviour and sharing Him with friends and family.
