About two blocks from our house is a little blue elementary school. This school serves many of the poor children in our community and has about 75 elementary students.

Building a place to grow (Little by little)
The process of moving over to the new ministry site has been slow going, but, as they say in Guatemala, “poco a poco,” or “little by little”, we’ll get there. For the kids ministry areas, the swing set and playground fort are already moved and installed on the new site, and kids from the nearby …

In the process of helping a Guatemalan Bible institute with their curriculum updates, I found these resources that can help provide artwork for a variety of resources at low or no cost. I’m listing …
