A "Sticky" Little Christmas Party

It was a “sticky” Christmas Party this year at the Little Disciples Bible Study, but not just because we made Christmas cookies and used lots of glue for the crafts.
There was a Nativity drama, active praise songs, a puppet play, cookies, crafts, and more, but this was not just an event, it is part of a year-around plan to plant God's Word in the families of this community.
At the Little Disciples Bible Study our goal is to disciple these children and their families in God’s Word while making the learning experience fun and “sticky”.
Yes, we use glue for the handicrafts, but that’s not the kind of sticky we’re really after. We want the Word of God to “stick” in their hearts where we know it will grow and produce good fruit in their lives.
Please pray for us and the Little Disciples we’re raising up in Guatemala to keep sticking God’s Word in hearts and develop into followers of Jesus!

Giving Our Best Gift for Jesus

This year, we had the privilege of leading the children’s story time of a large Children's Christmas Party at a local ministry. Together we led three groups totaling over 450 kids in the motions to songs about thankfulness and praising Jesus.
Then Michael shared the story of the little boy who gave his lunch to Jesus. We taught about how the little boy who gave his lunch reminds us how God gave His best to us and at Christmas we celebrate the coming of Jesus.
We taught how we too can give our best to Jesus, not just our lunch, but our lives, resources, families, work and all we are!
We led many in the prayer of salvation.
After the story time, 450 kids received new backpacks and school supplies and the families received a bag of food. See more pictures from the Christmas Fiesta here.

Solar lights to Brighten Homes. Jesus to Brighten Lives!

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.

In 2018 alone we’ve delivered 179 solar lamps to light homes. The majority of those went to a village called El Esfuerzo where a discipleship program has been transforming this poor village from a place of turmoil into a community of peace. Others went to families in the local area and Cuba.

Since 2016 we’ve delivered 356 solar lamps.

Along with the solar lamps that are now lighting homes, we’ve carried the Light of the world — Jesus Christ. We have found that caring for physical needs opens a door to care for the spiritual needs around us as well.

Please pray with us that the Light of Christ will illuminate the hearts of the people living in the homes where these solar lights are shining.
