(Above) David, with the help of Edna Otzoy, preached a powerful message entitled "God's Champion" in a church called El Calvario located in a village named Amatitlan. We had a powerful move of God. There was probably over seven hundred people there, nearly fifty came to accept Christ as their Savior for the first time! Then many more came for personal prayer. The Holy Spirit began to minister and lives were changed and impacted by the power of God.
(Below) Bill and Twila Guthrie with World Harvest Ministries, in their words, "tagged along" with us for this trip. Here they are in the back of a small truck on their way to a new church, less than a year old, high up in the mountains of Chichoy, Guatemala. Bill preached Salvation in Christ in this mountain church and the people were moved. Many came afterwards for special prayer including the new Pastors!
School Supplies for orphans at the "Train Up A Child" School.

Shonda and I, along with Bill and Twila Guthrie and Edna Otzoy, packed enough school supplies for all 245 enrolled students and 25 teachers. The supplies included notebooks for each class per student, pencils, erasers, rulers, red, blue and black ink pens, candy and some other accessories. It felt as if we were buried in notebooks, pens and pencils! It was such a blessing to be able to bless them in this way. It was all because of the generousity of our supporters and faith pledge partners.

We also made it a priority to purchase special gifts for all students and teachers. For the children, we bought good snacks that we knew they would never get otherwise. We also purchased soccer balls and basketballs for each class and age group. For the teachers, we bought each a daytimer calender with a nice ink pen. They were so thankful and excited!
There are 245 students in the school this year, ages 6-15, most all of which were orphans and then taken in off the streets by the Otzoy family. They are educated and spiritually trained at the expense of their ministry and fostered out into family homes so they can experience a family lifestyle. PRAISE GOD!
