Gaining a Vision Bigger Than Themselves!

Friday afternoon we flew back to Guatemala City in time for Dan to speak at Pastor Juan Carlos’ youth meeting. The place was packed with youth and some adults. After Dan preached on having a vision for your life, we prayed for every person in the place. The anointing and power of God was amazing as people were receiving the call of God on their life and a clearer vision for their future. Wish we could take you with us on these ministry outreached! It’s so difficult to express what things are really like unless you see and experience it for yourselves.

The most amazing part of our 10 day journey to Mexico City and Guatemala was on Saturday morning, just before we left for our flight back home. We had breakfast with several pastors and their wives. We shared with them why we had come to Guatemala and yet how amazed we were with the strength of the church in Guatemala. We then challenged the group to come up with a 5 year plan to reach those areas of Guatemala that do not have a thriving church planting movement in that area. We could see them begin to look at each other and to realize that we were not just talking about bringing in a short-term team that might interrupt their own schedules of outreach but we were talking about something bigger than what any of them had planned…something bigger than themselves. This took the level of outreach and engagement to a whole new level. Then one of the pastors stood up and said that he and his wife wanted to go with us to Africa as well to minister. When we said that we’d be glad to take any of them, several of their eyes lit up and they began to get excited. God was beginning to move on their hearts and put a bigger dream and vision in them than what they had before. We left that day in anticipation of what God is going to do in Guatemala but also wondering how God is going to use these Guatemalan pastors to change other nations in the world!
