I'm heading out to Central America tomorrow with three leaders from our Operation Guatemala/El Salvador team. This is our scouting trip for the 2006 trip that takes place June 11-25, 2006. It looks like we'll have a large team with 52 people signed up to go so far.
This prep trip is always such an exciting time as we meet with pastors, missionaries, and church members in a variety of settings. The days of this next week will be long, often times working up to 18 hours a day. We leave for the airport at 3:45 a.m. and arrive in Guatemala City at about 1:00 p.m. From there, we'll drive four hours to a ministry location, where we'll meet with pastors to talk about how the OGES team can assist their church in accomplishing their purposes.
Going into this prep trip, we're already sure that we'll be working in the communities of Campur, in the rainforest region of Guatemala, and San Marcos, on the western side of the country, high up in the mountains. On this trip we'll be scouting two new possible ministry locations. One of those spots is in El Salvador, and another is in Honduras. This will be my first trip ever to the country of Honduras. I'm excited to see what is happening in this country.
I'd appreciate your prayers as we seek God's wisdon and discernment for which communties we should minister in this summer. Pray for our missionary, Jaime Lopez, who will be driving us over 1000 miles in the five days we are in Central America, interpreting for us in our communication with nationals, and giving us his input on where the needs are highest.
