Forty-six people from four different churches (First Baptist, Ferguson, MO; First Baptist, Gulf Shores, AL and Bell Shoals Baptist, Brandon, FL) came to Guatemala to help us share the gospel and help our Guatemala church.
Instead of a regular family festival, after a short meeting to assign translators, the team went out on the streets around the hotel to share one-on-one. It was awesome to see the group jump right in and share with the people on the street.
There was a 5K road race near the hotel on Sunday morning, so after orientation, the group picked up some bottled water to pass out and headed over to the park. Although the church had a regular church service, it was the first time I can remember not joining them for worship. There were hundreds of people in the race so there were many opportunities to share with the runners and their families and friends who came to watch. Even when the race finished, this area of the city is full of families who spend their Sunday running, walking and visiting.
After a quick lunch break and a short rest, we all returned to the park for the afternoon. The crowds seemed even larger in the afternoon.
