Cancelled Mission Trip = Assistance for San Nicolas

 


In 2019 Joanna signed up to join us on a 2020 trip to Guatemala.  She worked hard to raise money and before long her account was fully funded.  She jumped right in, helping her team plan a week of ministry and she even hosted team meetings in her home.  We were excited for her to meet our friends in Guatemala and we loved getting to know her!

Then....COVID-19.  The disappointment when we cancelled our 2020 teams was real.  As the months went on and it became clear that we would not be taking teams in 2021, Joanna contacted us and asked if the money in her trip account could be used to support a project in Guatemala.  It was at that exact time that we learned of a need for funding of a Vacation Bible School in the community of San Nicolas and we quickly applied Joanna's trip account to this need.  

This week the kids and families in San Nicolas are enjoying a huge VBS, thanks to Joanna!  

Rodrigo and Monica have been able to plan and organize without the stress of wondering how they would fund the activities.  What a relief to them!

An average of 190 kids have attended each day.  Thank you Joanna for your support!
