This is a record of my church mission trip from Alexandria, LA to Llano Verde, Guatemala for all my friends and family in the US. Follow our group from Calvary Baptist Church as we work in the mission in Llano Verde. We will be building a house and a greenhouse, doing door to door missions, working in the orphanage, and a medical team will also set up a medical clinic. Pray for us as we share the love of Christ with the people of Llano Verde.
Our Mission
"How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who announces peace and brings good news of happiness, Who announces salvation, And says to Zion, "Your God reigns!" Isaiah 52:7
¡Qué hermosos son, sobre los montes, los pies del que trae buenas nuevas; del que proclama la paz, del que anuncia buenas noticias, del que proclama la salvación, del que dice a Sión: «Tu Dios reina»! Isaías 52:7
¡Qué hermosos son, sobre los montes, los pies del que trae buenas nuevas; del que proclama la paz, del que anuncia buenas noticias, del que proclama la salvación, del que dice a Sión: «Tu Dios reina»! Isaías 52:7
