Introducing team Jimenez/Bryant

If I were to find myself seeing people as they are seen by God... that's just too great a burden. The responsibility is suddenly overwhelming. It’s inconvenient. It takes so much time out of my day. It is an easy thing to go through life with only one’s own interests at heart. It is simple and clean. People are like objects, like pawns that are either tools for me to get what I want or else obstacles in the way of getting what I want. Every man for himself, right?

But we are commanded otherwise. And this is why we do what we do.

We will not excuse ourselves from what we are commanded. We will not bypass the question, “What can I do?” Should we expect to change the world? I don’t know, but we can be obedient. We can do our part.

We are a group who has been called together to serve, and so we follow the call to Guatemala. Our part is to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a broken world, to follow the example of loving others without expectation of anything returned, to bring the Kingdom. We represent countless family and friends who are partnering with us. We hope that you will join us on this journey. We hope that as God works in us and through us, you will be encouraged. We serve a God that is alive and active. He loves us and pursues us. Please be blessed by the news we share, and please keep us in your prayers. Join us in praying for safety, for needs to be met financially, and for the people in Guatemala to be blessed by our presence as we will, undoubtedly, be blessed by our experience.
