Since 2013 we’ve been teaching God’s Word to the neighborhood children who come to play with our own kids. Playtime soon turned into the Bible study The Little Disciples. While the kids who were 5, 6, 7, or 8 when we started now are in their teens, some of them still come to the Bible …
Sharing His stories
Since we posted the Adventures in the Bible book as a resource on our website back in April, more than 4,320 stories have been downloaded to help teach kids God’s Word in 22 countries. We’ve distributed over 1,500 physical copies of the kids book and we’re working on printing new versions so we can use …
Not a silent night…
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 …

We finished …

We came prepared. Chrisi led active praise songs with actions and Michael led a attention-grabbing game before launching into …
Lights, Cameras, Connect
In September, we teamed up with two other ministries to equip local churches and organizations with training that was outside the box and inside a camera. Michael coordinated the plan for two trainers — one from Ecuador and another from the U.S. They were from I-TEC, a U.S. and Ecuador-based ministries that focus on …
Building, Caring, & Sharing with Faith
A team from Faith Church in Kansas spent a little over a week of their summer to build, share and care for the people of Guatemala. They built a play structure for kids at the Little Disciples Bible Study and a beautiful house for Anastasia, a single mom of two, in the village of Quijel. …
Games for Kids Ministry
Keeping the attention of children is often a challenge. There is so much energy bottled up in a kid that it may seem a bit like a nuclear power plant…the energy seems endless and if it’s not handled right it can cause an “explosion” of chaos. That doesn’t mean that one must use heavy handed …
