Medical Team On Saturday, August 31, we welcomed a medical team from The Church at LifePark in Mount Pleasant, SC.  This week the team will be holding a medical clinic in a local town.  The team consists of a doctor, two dentists, some nurses, and two pharmacists.  Pray for the team this week as they not only provide medical care but also share the Gospel with each one who passes through the clinic.  Pray for good health, restful nights, and an extra daily dose of energy. our medical mission team Teammates are Coming In mid-September we will officially welcome the English family to our IMB Guatemala family.  They will be arriving from Mexico to begin serving here on our team.  How can you be praying for them? Pray for sweet goodbyes as they close out their time in Mexico with their language school teachers, church family, and many friends that they have made over the past year.  Pray for a smooth travel day. We found housing for them, and it will be available when they arrive.  Pray that they would easily find all that they need to fully furnish it so that they can quickly move in. Pray that they would effortlessly transition to life and ministry in Guatemala. Pray especially for their three small children to transition well.
