I was one of these folks on this trip and to see the expresions on the faces of the family who’s home we built brought tears to a mans eyes who worked 27 years in the Florida prison system!!!! So glad to be able to help others.

Sara – Thank you, first of all, for going. For listening to God’s call and responding in obedience. Second, for taking such good care of and loving on our “G-babies”! And third, yes, you probably figured out, I’ve been too, multiple times and plan to go again and again as often as possible. If I may speak for all who have gone and held and loved those precious children, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. For we have also gone and held and loved and cried when it was time to leave. And we have also wondered, “Who will hold them, feed them, play with them, hug them and love them when we are gone?” The workers at the center are some of the hardest working people I’ve ever met, but the work is plentiful, non-stop and the children keep coming. It does our hearts much good to see the posts and hear the reports of teams who go after us. Or in between the times we go.

Blessings to you and your team from Highland Baptist Church and prayers that you’ll not be able to stay away!!

I had the privilege of serving last December and plan on returning in April. Your story brought back so many memories. I was in a daze of sorts for weeks after returning; it’s so hard to explain the feelings and the conflicts within your soul. I carried my photo album with me everywhere for months. Thank you for sharing so beautifully.

Well now it just doesn’t get any better than that. That’s a wonderful story
to wake up to on a Monday morning after all the people in this country
who just have their hands out. This is a real need, children
who really can not do for themselves and die because of it.

Thanks for all who feel that call to do for Children where ever that may
lead them. Children are Children where every they may be.

I truly believe the Lord has great thing in store for Guatemala…my daughter has been there twice on mission trips and has been apart of 3 churchs coming together to building a church in one of the villages…my husband and I have also had the opportunity to sponsor a child in a private christian school there…thank you to everyone who takes the risk to go out side of the United Stated to present The Word…I do so look forward to the day when I can do the same!

William,
Thank you for running this article. I have heard the people that went on this trip talk about it and it breaks your heart to know that there are children in the world that are living in these conditions.
Thank you Sara, for writing this article. I have watched you talk about this trip and know that you left part of your heart with these children. Just know that these children are being loved by other people and that you and the group from Highland made a difference in their lives.
