You should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever.
1 Peter 4:10-11

A six-member “Vision Team” will be going to Guatemala to learn more about PiM’s and CRI’s ministries. (rescheduled from March due to unrest in Guatemala that blocked all major roads)
Praying for the Nations
Over the next few months, I’d like to share some passages from Roy Duffey, Missions Mobilizer & Ministry Coach with Vona Solutions. He’s written a great guide called “Praying for the Nations.”
God’s heart beats for the nations. From the very beginning of Scripture to its final pages, we see His passionate desire to gather people from every tribe, every language, and every nation into His family.
Yet today, thousands of ethnic groups — representing billions of souls — still live with little or no access to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Being “unreached” doesn’t simply mean being non-Christian. It means that within these groups:
- There are often no churches.
- No Bibles in their heart language.
- No missionaries living among them.
- No clear witness to the hope found in Christ.
Without outside help, they may live and die without ever hearing the good news.
Why Prayer Matters
Prayer is not our last resort — it is our first and greatest act of love and mission. Before workers are sent, before hearts are opened, before the first seeds of faith are planted — there is prayer.
You may never set foot in a remote village or translate a single Bible verse. But through prayer, you can reach across oceans and mountains — straight into the hearts of the unreached.
The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
Matthew 9:37–38

Mimi’s House Update
Baby J was reunited with his family last month! He had been placed in Mimi’s House in September of last year after being stolen. A few weeks ago, a DNA test confirmed that he was indeed the stolen baby, allowing him to be returned to his family.

Baby JP is being returned to his family as well! A court investigation revealed that he had been stolen, so he is going back home.

For the tenth consecutive year, the brothers and sisters of Guatemala performed the Via Dolorosa, a play performed on Holy Thursday to remember, raise awareness, and evangelize. On this occasion, 14 souls accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. It was a beautiful effort involving more than 30 actors of all ages. The Church of God El Santuario de Villa Nueva organized the event at the request of Pastor Gudiel Lemus. Children, adolescents, young adults, and senior citizens participated in the play. All the brothers and sisters helped in different ways: they made costumes and sold lunches to raise funds to purchase the lights. “The comments from the people and all of us were very impactful when we saw how moved they were,” commented Pastor Augusto.
We’re excited to share that two of our congregations in Guatemala are building new facilities for worship and discipleship training! This is just one of the ways your generous donations are making a difference. Thank you for your support!
