This morning we were blessed with the beautiful sun shining through our windows at 4:30 a.m. The birds chirping and the cool fresh air was so refreshing.  After a wonderful breakfast, we drove to the center plaza in Santiago to share God's word. Scott Runyon and Donna Seiler shared their testimonies of how the Lord has changed their lives and how they have committed to following the Lord.

The service continued with the children singing and dancing, praising God. The plaza was filled with Guatemalans watching how joyful the children were to be dancing and singing.

The evening service was one of the most amazing parts of the day, the Lord gave many of our PVC members the opportunity to use the gifts He has given us.

Jordan Krause shared her gift of singing, and Stephanie Morales shared her inspiring testimony how the Lord has given her the strength to escape a difficult relationship.  She shared with the crowd how the Lord is always with us and ready to guide us to make the right choices in our life. Greg Seiler shared his gift of speaking by preaching the Lords word of how Isaiah 40 has provided him with the guidance during difficult times.

If we want to become better at any sport we practice and practice to become proficient. The same is true if we want to build a relationship with the Lord,  we must be persistent in communicating with him daily, persevering and consistently practicing by reading the Bible and getting to know Jesus everyday.  Our strength will be renewed each day and we can overcome all through Him. 

The service ending with those present coming forward seeking the Lord's guidance, healing and strength to help them persevere through their daily struggles.  The PVC team prayed over our brothers and sisters asking the Lord to give them the strength and guidance to make each day.  It is through  our continued faith in seeking the Lord,  "ask and you shall receive"  the Lord is always there with us during those difficult times providing us with the strength we need to make it through each day.
