I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
Psalm 121: 1-2
Guatemala is a beautiful place in which God's hand can be clearly seen. In the area exists breathtaking waters and mountains, volcanoes, and other natural wonders that words simply can't describe but upon seeing them it is easy to understand the power of Our Creator. We have an incredible God!
Guatemala is located in northern Central America and shares its northern border with Mexico. Around 6 million indigenous Mayans live in Guatemala, forming around 50% of the country's population. Most of the Guatemaltecos live in the southern region of the nation where the terrain is extremely mountainous and crowned by volcanoes.
I am going to be working in a small town called Tejutla. This town is located in the northwest highlands of Guatemala and is the location of Bethesda Ministries. I will be teaching English in the Bethesda Education Center, which is devoted to providing an affordable, quality education to the community members while also allowing the students to learn in a Christian environment.
God has placed in my heart a dream and a desire to serve Him. No matter where He calls, I will go, always confident in His promises because He has been so faithful to me. His love will never fail. I am excited for this new opportunity for my life and, with His blessing, I am prepared for the adventure that is just beginning.
In order to take advantage of this opportunity, I will need help from my faithful brothers and sisters of Christ! Because the ministry with which I will be working does not have the resources at this time to cover the cost of my employment for the year, I will need to raise my own support. The total support I need to raise is $4,800. This will cover my living expenses ($200/month) and a small salary ($200/month). I may have further needs later, but for now I am praying that the Lord will provide through His followers the funds needed to further His Kingdom. If you are interested in supporting me or would simply like more information, please email me at chispitamrc@hotmail.com or contact Kurt Kersey at kjkersey@me.com. I would very much appreciate any support and/or prayers you can offer!
Keep checking my blog for more posts, as I would love to share with you the journey that God takes me on this upcoming year!
