Guatemala Day One (Prayer Walk & Home Church)

Day one initiation into our time in Panajachel was a prayer
walk.  Taking in the sights as we walked along the river wall,
we asked God to give us hearts for the city, to bless the work of Redeemer's House, and to sew seeds of hope during our time there.   

Seeing both the rich culture

and the poverty,

we trusted that the Lord had big plans

for our time as we dug deeper into the ministry of
Redeemer's House. 

Later that night, with hearts already broken by what we had seen,

home church was the needed comfort and refocusing.

Each week, our missionary hosts, the Radford family, does church at home.  No parking lots, sound systems, pews or lighting,
just people and God. 
Good stuff I tell ya. 

Sitting with this sweet team,

making music and listening to a David Platt sermon

was the the perfect kick-off for our week.
