Have a Heart for Service?

…Then pray about serving this April as a short-term missionary at our International Family Retreat in Guatemala. Special-needs families in Guatemala often live in extreme poverty, and they need to know the touch of Jesus – perhaps through someone like you! Take Walter, a short-term missionary who served last year at our International Family Retreat in Guatemala. He was assigned to help Enrique, a 71-year-old stroke survivor who had lost his wife. Enrique was very hardened against God. Walter found him difficult to work with (many times Walter had to leave the activities and simply walk Enrique around the campus). But the young man kept extending kindness and patience, and soon, Enrique’s stubborn heart began to melt. He finally came to Jesus Christ, and by the end of Retreat, Enrique was affectionately calling Walter his grandson. Walter learned a powerful lesson about being a true servant. Our next International Family Retreat in Guatemala is coming up in April and we have a need for short-term missionaries like Walter – please consider serving with us today!
