10/19/2022 Clinic #4 - Full day! 225 people served!

It's hot, sweaty, and exhausting, but we are finding it hard to believe that it is already our last day of clinics. The people are so nice and so appreciative! What a blessing that God chose us to come and serve here!

We were greeted by a line outside once again! Pastor was already sharing the Gospel of Jesus with the first group when we arrived to start our day.

    - Pull 2 pairs of sunglasses for the person to choose from







Station #6 - Dispensing

- Check that the glasses pulled are not too big or too small for the person's face

Interesting facts from our tour: Star of David is displayed in Guatemala City because Guatemala cast the last vote to approve the state of Israel. The city is 5000 feet above sea level. The reason for all of the monuments was to make Guatemala City, "The Little Paris."  Guatemala City has the " Cream House" instead of "The White House" In one of the government buildings: Every door handle has the leader's thumb print The inside has traffic lights throughout. Red means the leader is in. Yellow means ministers are in. Green means "go ahead and go about your work stress-free" Modeled after Barcelona's architecture. Made of volcano rock, obsidian, and marble.

10/16/2022 Worship and Clinic #1 - Half-day! 49 people served!

Our team worshipped our Lord in Spanish to stay off our first full day in Guatemala.  How amazing that God enables our hearts to worship Him, even when we don't understand the language.  The whole congregation joined our team for a picture after the service.  We set up our stations and were blessed to serve 49 people in our first half-day clinic.  Pastor telling about the love of Jesus to a group before they are tested for glasses.  Our day ended with one of God's beautiful sunsets! The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; Psalms 24:1 NIV
