Eight months ago, I heard the song playing in this video for the first time. In that moment, I felt the Lord challenge me to seek Him in a foreign nation. Guatemala kept coming to mind, but I had no idea how or when that would happen.

A few days later, I shared this word with my wife while we were driving to visit some friends. When we arrived, we started talking with them about their flowers, including a stunning poinsettia bush. Their response caught us completely off guard: “You should see the poinsettias in Guatemala.”

My wife and I looked at each other in amazement, overwhelmed by the confirmation of what I had just shared with her. As it turned out, our friends were already in the early stages of planning a mission trip to Guatemala. They were just beginning to build a team—and without hesitation, I knew I had to volunteer.

Alongside nine others from our church in East Tennessee, I had the privilege of making the journey to Guatemala to support local missionaries our church has partnered with for nearly 30 years. During our time there, we led a three-day Vacation Bible School for the children, teaching them about God’s love and leading them in worship. We also spent two workdays replacing damaged drywall that had been affected by mold.

The video below is a glimpse into our team’s time in the town of Santiago Sacatepéquez, highlighting the work we accomplished and the moments we shared. Thank you for watching and being a part of this story.

Worship with what you’ve got. I wish I was better at guitar, a better vocalist, there’s always better. There is only one you and that’s who God wants to connect with. 🙏🏻 Be Blessed.

@communitychurch.life has been good soil for my family and me to grow and root ourselves in a faith community. I am proudly stepping into the calling of Worship Pastor and will continue to create environments for people to encounter the Lord through Worship. 🙏🏻

I’ve got joy in chaos, I’ve got a peace that makes no sense. 🎶

It’s weird being old enough to have watched people age through their 20&30s. If I’ve learned one thing, you have to put in the work to keep yourself healthy and thriving!
