Leaving a Light On for You

We had visitors last week! A team from Saint Peter’s came and served with Elévate Guatemala in Santiago Zamora and reached out with Iglesia Cristiana El Refugio in the City.
Then as they were wrapping up Jeff Howell and Chris Miller arrived from Plant City, Florida to minister to our Celebremos La Recuperación folks, serve our local police, encourage our IDC leadership and to move our congregation closer to hope!

Now it’s your turn.
We’ll leave a light on for you.

Shave & a Haircut, 2 Bits…

This week I was asked to pray a blessing over Classic Barbershop’s new location on 6ta Avenida. I gladly did so because I know God has the hairs on our heads numbered (Luke 12:7) and I know the impact of a bad haircut (see Samson in Judges 16:19).

Please stop by the new location across from Sabe Rico next week for a haircut, a shave or just to say hi. Tell Romeo Todd sent you.

Yesterday was Father’s Day here in Guatemala (always June 17th) and in the US, dads will be celebrated on Sunday. That means I get to celebrate twice!
So, in honor of my dad, who I miss dearly, here are the top four things I learned from him:
1. Speak truth and wisdom.
2. Take your family on vacation.
3. Be there.
4. And don’t be afraid to rock a turtleneck.

A Shot in the Arm

This week we made a quick trip to the US to be vaccinated. We know this is the epitome of privilege.

But, as our friend Annette says: “It’s also a privilege to believe and act like the pandemic is over. Globally, it’s not.” In Guatemala, a country of over 16 million, only 115,000 people have been fully vaccinated and our positivity rate has been between 20 and 25% for the past week. The world is a big place and many do not have easy access to medical care.

However, the principle of God valuing you is true wherever you live.

“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” -Jesus in Mark 10:29-31.
