I was blessed to go on a mission trip August 28 thru September 4, 2021. The team, made up mostly of people from Oklahoma, went to Monjas, Jalapa, Guatemala representing the James Project of Latin America.

We lived on site at the orphanage, Shadow of His Wings. The home currently has 90 children who have come from a variety of difficulties such as physical/sexual abuse, neglect, human trafficking, and loss of both parents. Shadow of His Wings’ hope is that children will come to know Jesus and serve Him. Their hope is that the children will live for Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit and therefore change their community!

Our team had multiple mission activities such as VBS, evening worship services, a Women’s conference, visiting the needy, and working on their multi-purpose building. It was so wonderful to see so many women and children coming to the Lord!

Prior to the trip, we raised funds for food distribution for the needy in the community, including a generous gift from Living Hope. The team bought food and supplies at the local markets and then organized tubs to carry the items. We prayed over each tub and each home where food and supplies were delivered.

Our team worked hard and I felt very thankful that God used me. I would love to visit the friends that I have met there and this wonderful country again.
