Last night we were honored by an invitation from the newly elected mayor.

We visited his office and we received an official Proclamation of Gratitude from the municipal government. Then we were treated to dinner at his home. This was extremely high honor in this community and it also is one of the amazing surprises that the Lord has blessed this school and school leadership with.  I have a signed proclamation that was presented to Worldwide Christian Schools that I will be taking back with me and sharing with you all when I return.

Thanks for Praying for us!

Just when we thought that our HANDS team knew how to work hard, one of the local cooks demonstrates how she can carry blocks up the stairs to to the third floor of this school building. Even though we tried, myself included, none of us were able to even come close to what this local worker could do.

Great photo from Guatemala!

Keep praying for this project and the leadership team at this school. The number of amazing surprises that the Lord had in store for this school and leadership just keep piling up! To God be the glory! Take a look at the final photos from the DeMotte Team, www.eduguate.com/blog

Just a quick note to let you know that the work in Guatemala is going very well. The size and scope of this three story school project is hard to understand unless you are here on site. The team is working well and over 1/3 of the roof was installed today by the team from DeMotte. Tomorrow we are expecting to install a majority of the second side of this building.

Our relationship with the local leaders is touching as they ponder and wonder at the miracle that is going up in front of them. This prayer and dream of reaching many more students in the region is being supplied through the combined efforts of nationals and our WWCS HANDS teams. Tomorrow the mayor of the town has invited the whole team to a special meal in honor of this construction project. Last night I was able to attend a Quiche Indian church service and it was filled with Indians that loved the same Lord our God.

We will be celebrating with the school children, teachers, board members and parents on Wednesday morning with a dedication as, hopefully, we put on the last two sheets.

Well… if you want to see some pictures check out the blog on the www.eduguate.com site.

Again, thank you for your prayers and support (special thanks to the Tech group at Comprenew for getting the laptop set up for future groups to use).
