How do we recap this week in a few short words?
God has been so very faithful in so many ways. We have surely felt the countless prayers by our faithful friends back home and have encountered God here at the Oasis. God has melted our hearts towards his children here and we have been blessed by their smiles, hugs and friendly Guatemalan giggles.
The times we have spent as a group of men praying and sharing has been tremendous. We have found ourselves crying out to God, and weeping as we have lifted up the needs of Guatemala, the children here at the Oasis and for the needs of our families back at home. God has brought us all close together as a team and as brothers in Christ. Friendships have been made and others strengthened. God has definitely answered the prayers of His people for a bonded team.
Our work here at the Oasis is finished for the time, and we see some of the fruits of our labor in the various projects we accomplished, but the greater fruits will be in the lives of the girls here at the Oasis and what God has in store for them as they continue to grow in Him. We came here to serve with our hands and hearts, but we all agree that we have blessed so much as well.
Thank you for your prayers and thoughts for us while we have been here. We look forward to sharing our experiences with you when we return...
Serving in the name of Jesus Christ,
The 2009 NHC Guatemala Work Team
