Filling the distances

February 16, 2021 //  by michael.shead

We continue reaching out in our neighborhood through the Little Disciples Bible Study. Even with required social distancing, we keep looking for ways to fill those distances with real relationship that points to Jesus. That includes teaching Bible principles and sometimes that means visiting our students and their families in their homes, praying for one …

Teaching the Old Testament

February 16, 2021 //  by michael.shead

Michael is teaching a class on the Old Testament with both in-person classes and an online segment as we continue finding ways to reach out and build up leaders with Bible training during COVID-19 restrictions.

Ten Years in Guatemala

February 11, 2021 //  by michael.shead

It was January 28, 2011, when Chrisi and I walked out of the airport in Guatemala City and started our new life and ministry here in the mountains of Central America. These 10 years have been amazing. After language school, we moved to Chichicastenango where our ministry has been based since 2011. Over the past …

Storms swept away homes and, for some, their hope.

December 31, 2020 //  by michael.shead

When two hurricanes passed Guatemala one after another in November, they left floods that swept away homes, crops and hope. Families in hard-hit regions lost more than homes and crops to the floodwaters. Some lost their livelihoods. Others lost hope. When two storms ruined homes, some lost hope, others reached out. On the outskirts of Aguacatan in the …

December 31, 2020 //  by michael.shead

We are putting the principles from God’s Word in the hands and hearts of children and churches with the new Bible story booklet we published this year. Just before Christmas, we picked up the first 2,000 copies of our Bible lesson book 16 Adventures in the Bible in Guatemala City and started distributing them. After …

Teaching money management

December 31, 2020 //  by michael.shead

Money isn’t easy to come by in Lemoa–a small farming community about 20 minutes down the road from Chichicastenango in the mountains of Guatemala–for that matter neither are stable jobs or education (if you want to study anything past the sixth grade). Yet, in this village one church is training a team of young adults …

The Little Disciples are back!

December 31, 2020 //  by michael.shead

After nine months of closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Little Disciples Bible study has re-opened! We are glad to see many of those children who were here before returning and new students joining us as well. Back in mid-March, businesses, ministries and schools were forced to close across Guatemala as the nation went …

Not a silent night…

December 25, 2020 //  by michael.shead

Here in Guatemala “Silent Night” and nice poems about the night before Christmas when “no one was stirring” do not fit with the Christmas culture around us. Here, many families stay up late making traditional tamales and then blasting the midnight sky with fireworks in displays that would fit right in with many fourth of …
