You’re breaking ground for the gospel in Guatemala!

This year we sent our Massah team to Guatemala for the first time ever!  With all its breath-taking natural beauty, Guatemala (like India) draws Israeli backpackers to come and decompress after their military service. Guatemala was especially full of Israeli travellers this year because India is sadly closed due to Covid. Some cafes even cater specifically to Israelis. 

Miriam reports, “We met Or* and her friend on the street and she decided to join us for dinner. That evening she listened and asked questions as one of our team leaders, Dean, told his story of coming to faith (including a spiritual experience that took him by surprise during his post-military travels.) The next day Or joined us for an early morning hike. As we sat on a mountain waiting for the sun to rise, she was eager to ask more questions. Or has left the structure of her Orthodox life and is now seeking God in her own way. She seemed touched by what we shared, and even showed interest in reading the New Testament. Please pray that she will come to faith in Jesus before long.”

Tehilla reports, “During a hike to Indian Nose (one of the most-visited mountains near Lake Atitlan) I met an Orthodox woman named Golda* who wanted to know where I studied and what I believe.  We were surprised to discover that we don’t live far from each other back in the United States! I took her number so we can meet up for coffee after we get home. Please pray that we she’ll want to stay in touch.”

Thank you so much for making it possible for us to have more than 456 gospel conversations with Jewish people in Guatemala this summer!
