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 …
Teaching The Life of Christ Online

The Art of Discipleship
Art brings people together they say. So…we used art to bring kids closer to Christ.

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 …

She felt like she couldn’t go on…
Chichicastenango–When her family walked out on her, they literally took the house with them and left her alone with her three kids. On that day, Sara (not her real name) lost her sister and her family, her mom, her bed, and even the tin roof that had kept the rain off her at night. That …
