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 …

October 7, 2020 //  by michael.shead

Tomas and his family of nine live on the side of a large hill less than a mile up a narrow road from our house where we’ve visited them two or three times to chat, pray for them, and to encourage their son who has been part of our Bible Study. Despite many conversations with …

July 2, 2020 //  by michael.shead

Knock! Knock! Knock! That’s a pretty regular sound we hear these days as people come to our door to sell us things or asking for a job so they can buy a few pounds of corn, basic food items, or medicine that their family needs. We try to help as we can. We realize that many …

Delivering Food and Care during COVID-19

May 22, 2020 //  by michael.shead

Since the children from our Little Disciples Bible Study can’t come to us, we are checking in on them and their families and delivering food supplies along with some children’s Bible lessons they can do on their own.

December 21, 2018 //  by michael.shead

Since 2016 Reach World Mission has been helping to bring light to the literal darkness of villages and homes without electricity or where electricity is unreliable or expensive.
