New stuff Happenin'

Since there isn't going to be a DTS this fall because we didn't have enough students, we are going to be doing some new things! We're excited because a lot of these things are things we've done in the past, but, because we've been so busy with teams, students, cafe, etc., there just wasn't time.

Here's some new stuff we will be doing:

Kid's Club: We will be starting up Kid's Club again on Saturday mornings starting this Saturday. We are so excited about it because it's a great chance to build relationships with the families around the base. It's going to be a lot of work, but, we are going to be doing it as a family so it will be fun as well!

Saturday Training Seminars: Mark will be teaching an Evangelism seminar again in October. We hope to do about 4 of these seminars a year for Guatemalans and missionaries here in Guatemala. We are hoping to provide an outreach for those who want to come that evening to put into practice what they've learned.

Halloween Outreach: We will be doing a funeral! We love this outreach! We already have a coffin we can use and the staff is excited about using the opportunity to reach out to those who will be on the streets. We will do a program and have a concert. This is Day of the Dead here, so it's fitting!

Christmas Party for the families at the base: We want to do a Christmas party for those families around the base. We are hoping to provide them with gifts and have a party at the base for them to attend with food, games, and a pinata!

Team outreaches: We will also be hosting teams from all over to come and help us with construction, outreach, and ministry.

Homeschool outreach: We are having a homeschool class on Wednesday afternoons at our house for missionary kids and our kids. Mark is teaching a Bible class and I am teaching literature class for girls on Pride and Prejudice. It's an opportunity to provide a service for missionary families.

Higher Grounds: We will be starting a Friday night thing at Higher Grounds for young people to come and enjoy music, food, and fun. Mark will still be doing Soul Patrol outreach at the Parque Central, but, this is another opportunity for evangelism.

These are just a few things that will be happening here in Antigua! Sounds like we'll be busy!!!!! Please pray for us as we begin to really pour into these ministries that will be happening here.
