Pictures from 2009's trip

We are currently preparing for our first team meeting for this years trip. I've been going through some of our pictures from last years trip and decided to post a few on the blog for everyone to see. Enjoy!!

Guatemala 2010

Welcome to the Faith Mission Trips blog. We decided to start a blog for this years trip so we can keep everyone updated on the process of the trip starting from the beginning. What we are most excited about is being able to update the blog while we are on the mission trip this year.

Last year Faith Lutheran Church was able to send a team of 14 members down to Guatemala for a 10 day mission trip. We worked with a lot of children on that trip leading several VBS's at local churches and orphanages. We also had the opportunity to do some service work as well that included painting and some cleaning. It was such a joy for all of us to be able to have this experience and see the joy on the kids faces, it was truly a blessing for us all.

We were asked to send another team down this coming summer and are very blessed to be doing just that. July 31st-August 8th another team will be heading back down to Guatemala to continue the work we started last summer. We are very blessed to be sending back down 7 of our team members from last summer as well as 3 possibly 4 new members. Everyone is excited for this new journey to begin and we want to be able to share this trip with you. As we begin our team meetings and preperations for the trip we will be updating this blog and letting you know what is going on. We are hoping to be able to update this every night during the trip letting you know about the days events. You may see several postings on this blog as we are hopeful that many of our team members will want to write an update on the blog as well. So we invite you to take this journey with us as we prepare for our 2010 Mission Trip to Guatemala.

God Bless,
