A new church!

by Augusto Marroquin | July 1, 2024 12:19 AM

Today we started our day visiting a new church that is located in one of the villages of El Jicaro. It’s so impressive to see how there are people on the mountains worshipping the Lord, so we joined them today.

We are back!!

We are back at El Jicaro! It was so amazing to see our friends again. Our kids received us with posters that had our names on them. It was so beautiful to see how the church was so happy to have us again. No doubt they are so good at welcome parties!

Games in Las Olivas!

We had some time to play games with the kids in the mountain village and see their smiles! We also had a piñata and shared about the Prodigal Son.

Journey to the Mountain

by Katrina Hulme | July 1, 2024 12:40 AM

We prayed over and with the church, and we were inspired by their passionate prayers. It was a long journey up the mountain and back to El Jícaro, but we were reminded how Jesus will go after the one - no matter how far!

Carry Your Cross

by Katrina Hulme | July 1, 2024 12:42 AM

During church, Sam shared a message about how we are called to carry our cross but we don't need to be afraid because Jesus has already done it. Abigayle and Ryan also sang for the church!
Carry Your Cross

A Great Welcome!

by Katrina Hulme | July 1, 2024 12:44 AM

We really felt loved by the church as they welcomed us back this evening! With individual signs with our names, songs in English, a kids and dance performance, decorations, and many hugs, we feel like part of the family. Many church members remembered those of us who were here last year and asked about our friends who couldn't make it again this year!
A Great Welcome!

Women's Ministry

by Katrina Hulme | July 2, 2024 1:15 AM

Our time with the women was both encouraging and heavy as we shared our struggles of motherhood with one another. We ended our time with prayer and hymns to recognize that only God is capable of saving our families and children.
