Sunday in Guatemala


I love Sundays.  There is something special about going to church, listening to the teaching and preaching of God’s Word, singing hymns and songs together, and being encouraged by brothers and sisters in Christ.

This Sunday was no different.  It was such a joy to be in a room together with people I’d never met before and yet know that we are brothers and sisters in Christ.  We come from different countries, speak different languages and have different customs, yet our shared love for our God unites us in particular ways.

Here are just a few pictures to give you a feel for our morning in Cerro Alto, Sacatepequez, Guatemala.
