It’s early in the morning and there is silence on the mountain!  In fact the past several days have been a lot quieter.  This is very unusual but it is a welcome sound after a busy summer.   We are finished with our “Summer Rush”!   We will welcome several more teams throughout the year … More Summer Rush!

Written by Bailee Wilson Friday morning, during our time on Grace Mountain, we were told we’d be doing something that night that’s a little out of routine—a prayer walk through the campus of Colegio J.E.T.

Written by Scott Fontenot For twenty five years or so, I have listened to people give an account of their first mission trip to Grace Mountain. None of these accounts prepared me for the things I would gain and lose by going.  On the gain side, I now have gained an appreciation of the need … More Gain & Lose

I love how the first-timers on every trip are wide-eyed and soaking in everything about the beautiful country and people. I also love when people return year after year and tell stories about how one trip to Guatemala forever changed their lives.

The other night, I hugged the cutest 11 year old girl as she told me about her fears.   Unfortunately, these were not the normal fears of a child, but all of the “What If’s” of a child who has experienced great loss and trauma.  This mama could not look her in the eyes and … More What If?

One of my favorite things to do is to listen to the North Americans talk about their love for Guatemala. I see the excitement on their faces and hear the joy in their voices. I am taking advantage of having some guest blog writers express their love for our ministry or to challenge each of … More Friendships!

Written by Joe David Bailey When I was a child we would dare people to do things. We would say things like “I dare you to eat that grasshopper.” If the dare did not work, then we would double dog dare people. With that said, I dare you to pray. I dare you to pray … More I Dare You!

This past week we hosted 50+ people on Grace Mountain.  Houses built, food distributions, widows luncheon, chicken coop extension, cake decorating, a ridiculous amount of visitors for supper, spoiling our teachers, a fiesta, lots of hugs, and a ton of soccer and basketball.   The week was very busy with lots of activities.    Honestly, … More A Full House!
