The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17
Have a blast!! Good luck, and way to take the initiative to participate in such a worthy cause. See you back stateside!
Hi you! Safe travels! What a great experience this is for you! We are proud of you. Can’t wait to hear all about it!
Hey dude,
hope you guys made it alright! Isnt the drive awesome!? The first time i rode in a van I didnt know what to think. Anywho, hope you have a great week, keep in touch, and have fun
ps. if you get in al’s building group…. he really doesnt know what he is talking about…. all that plum and square stuff…. its overrated:)
Hi Adam: How was the flight and customs? Everything go allright? Isn’t it a great view from the base? If you get time,take a hike south along the ravine to where the mini Hoover Dam is that used to be the water supply for the base.[don't go alone] Have a great time and let God move! Ron
made it to guatemala safe…no troubles through customs…its sweet talking to all the spanish people here…our flight was good but long..keep us in your prayers
Adam,
I prayed for the team this morning and smiled when I prayed for the building project today. I don’t believe Jenny has ever “built” anything in her life. Funny, how God call us out of our normal life sometimes. Maybe you can keep an eye on her work for me? I have already been praying for the family who will receive this home — may they see the love of Jesus through your team today. Blessings to you! Mrs. H
Glad to hear from you Adam – we are glad you and the team made it safely with no problems! We pray you have a great day filled with great building stories – not only home construction but building God’s kingdom in Guatemala! Enjoy the day – we love you and are very proud of you.
Love – Mom and Dad
Adam, Praying that you have an amazing day today! How cool that your building so close to the base. That will be awesome!! Have fun and know that there are hundreds and hundreds of people praying for you!
Adam, Hope you are feeling strong and ready to serve today, have a great time, we will be praying for all of you. The Pettijohns
hey neighbor! have a grrrreat trip! we’ll be keeping you in our prayers:)
Adam – we hope your day yesterday went great and you stayed dry! We pray you will have another great day today! We love you and miss you and look forward to hearing about your trip! Enjoy!!
Love you – Mom and Dad
Hey Adam! Glad to hear it is going well! Keep working hard and loving on some kids! Just make sure to work harder than AJ ever did! And if you pick up a drill and a screw I think you have accomplished that!!! Have fun buddy! Praying for you,
Jason
Adam,
Loved seeing the team photos. You look like “major builder-man! I’m sure those girls are relying on the man-power in your group to lift the walls and anything else they can talk you into. Today should be a day of completion and blessing……can’t wait to hear details about your family. We pray for you daily. ~Mrs. H
Adam
I’m glad you get this chance to experience Guatemala. This will always be one of those highlights in your life. It really puts everything in perspective when you see how little they have and yet how happy and grateful they are. Let God use you this week, it might be in ways you never thought of.
Adam,
Praying for you as you touch the lives of the people in Guatemala. God will do amazing things through you.
Karen Zoodsma
Adam,
Looks like the teams have been very busy the last couple of days. Tomorrow will be a great day as you dedicate the houses to the families who will live in them. The fruits of your labor will not be forgotten! Praying for continued health, blessings and saftey for you and the team!
Mrs. Stegeman
We see from all the pictures that you are hard at work and bringing about some wonderful changes. It was interesting to read your group’s update tonight. Keeping you in our prayers throughout this week.
The VW Family
Adam – today you dedicate the homes to the families you have come to know and love in such a short period of time. May God be with you as you show His abounding love to each and every family there and may your light shine to each and every one of them. We pray for health for you and your team today – we hope none of you get sick and you can each complete the mission you have been called to do. We are thrilled to hear things are going well for you and the team – may God continue to guide you each and every day and may you may be open to all He has to offer you in your time there. We love you and so look forward to hearing everything when you get back home!
Hi Adam,
Hope you are having an awesome time in Guatemala and that today’s dedications were an amazing experience. We can’t wait to hear all the wonderful stories you will have when you return. Keeping you constantly in our thoughts and prayers!
Love ~ the Berens’
Hey everyone…it’s Adam & Riley! We had a great time today @ the village! The past 3 days have been awesome, the kids love us (for our candy =]) They are always helping, and have smiles on their faces. All 6 families that we built for, dedicated their lives to Christ today! It was an amazing experience!! Hope you guys don’t miss us too much
<3 Adam & Riley!!
ps. Halea & Ben…WE MISS YOU!
Adam – great to hear from you (thanks Riley!). Sounds like you had a great day and things went well at the dedication. How special it is to know that the family you have built a home for have accepted Jesus into their lives – it has been a blessed day for your team. We continue to pray for you and will remember you as you travel to the villages the next couple of days. We love you a ton and are anxious to see you!
Adam
So great to see you in the pics today. What a awesome day to see and experience so many people giving their lives to Christ! What a sight that you will never forget. Praying for you often honey as you give yourself up for him!
Blessings, Bill and Lisa
Hi Adam, Looks like you are keeping busy. What a great experience for you. We are so proud of you. We love you!
Adam – You and your group are in our thoughts and prayers this week. I can’t help but think of the song, “Go tell it on the mountain!” – sounds like what you all are doing plus much more! Take care and safe travels! Love you, Aunt Janet and Uncle Rick
Hi Adam – you and your team will continue to be in our prayers well into the night – we pray for safe travel, no rain, health and open hearts of those you will be with tonight. We missed you for Father’s Day – Dad and AJ are golfing – he is trying his best to fill your spot with dad today – he’s had a tough go of it!!! We love you and hope you remain healthy! Love you a bunch! Mom and Dad and AJ and Freeway (by the way, he is missing you worse than any of us are!!
)

Adam,
So glad you arrived back at the base safe and sound. You probably worked pretty hard out on the roads to get home, let alone the busy time in the village. May the Lord continue to bless you as the team travels home.

Praying for a great night as you have your last devotions for the week, it is always intense and very moving! Let God make it a special night for you. Lets get together when you get back. Ron
