Just got back from a great trip to Guatemala, traveling on behalf of Hope For Life, a Herald of Truth ministry. Roberto Alvarez did a great job of organizing a campaign with five of the smaller congregations in the Guatemala City area.
With Roberto Alvarez at Radio Progreso
Besides being a preacher and church planter, Roberto directs the BICA (Biblical Institute of Central America) school in Guatemala.
Some of the BICA students worked hard the week of the campaign going from house to house to invite people, talk to them about Jesus, and study with them.
Steve speaks to the BICA students
Roberto, Steve Ridgell, and I were on the radio each day at midday, inviting people to the conferences. During the week there were 20 baptisms and 10 restorations, which was very exciting for these small churches.
On Sunday we had a combined service with congregations from the Guatemala City area.
Part of the crowd at Centro Histórico
Over 500 people crammed into the Centro Histórico church building. Steve preached to the children and adolescents upstairs, while I spoke to the adults downstairs. There was another baptism that day.
All in all it was a great trip. I’m fortunate to get to do what I do.
