Ottawa's dynamic duo Cedarview Alliance and East Gate Alliance joined youth group forces this past July. They worked with the Alliance Church in San Raymundo, Guatemala to run an after school drama and sports camp, and provided essentials such as vitamins and school supplies to the students. They also visited the students' families in their homes and learned what daily life is like for Guatemalans.

Team Testimonials:

"My mindset has changed. One of the big reasons for going on this trip was that I knew my worldview would change. Voila!"

"I feel like I see ministry through a different lens/perspective now. I want to serve our church and local community more effectively ."

"This trip has really opened my eyes to see what is actually important in life and what isn't."

"My point of view on how to serve God has changed ever since we started doing home visits."

"I feel a much stronger sense of gratitude and love for those around me as we experienced so much of that from this community. My greatest impact simply came from observing the joy, love, kindness and hospitality of the Guatemalan people."

"In the next six months I am going to love, serve and trust in the Lord more."

"Going forward I am going to limit my exposure to the things that take my attention away from God."

A Busy and Emotional Day

Today was a busy and emotional day. This morning was our last session with the kids at the school. We ran ESL games with all the words that they learned throughout the week, and then Pastor Josh told the story of Noah and the ark, while enlisting the kids as the animals as they acted it out. T

En El Nombre de JesuCristo

Hi everyone, its Hannah. I hope you all are doing great and I miss all of you friends and family back in Canada. This trip has been an awesome experience, so far and I’m sure the rest of our visit will be amazing too. It has been so great to see these kids and gain a different perspective.

Yo soy, Jeremias

Yo soy, Jeremias (Hey-rey-mee-ass). The euphonious phrase inspires strength, courage and determination. Legend has it that when mortal men hear it, their spirit is renewed with tremendous vigor.
