WAKETHESILENCE: WAKETHESILENCE in Guatemala!

Biltmore Baptist Church has a sister church in Guatemala that they send mission groups to several times a year. Pastor Misael, the senior pastor of this church, sent a request to WAKETHESILENCE Ministries in February.

It is a privilege to write to you all and be able to great you from the bottom of my heart. In God, we share the same faith, communion, fellowship, vision and mission. So, all together we honor his holy name. I worked in the Facultad Teológico Evangélica in the area of music, teaching music on weekends with the vision of honoring our Lord in a great way. This year, we have 46 students already registered in four different areas including Comitancillo, Sipacapa, San Miguel and Ixtaguacan. By doing all these, it has encouraged me to prepare more in music. This year, I started to study in the evangelical conservatory NEW SONG in Guatemala city. They are the only ones that offered me this option to study one weekend every month. Normally it would be every weekend. So, I travel once a month to study 4 hours to the city. It is also urgent to have my driver’s license, type "C", so I can drive to teach classes once a week in each of these communities already mentioned. All these seem to me difficult to achieve, but I am convinced, I know, that with your prayers our God will provide this resources to achieve my goals.

Thank you so much and may God bless you.

We were so excited to help Pastor Misael, and we were able to provide the money for his classes and for his driver's license. We hope to keep you updated on how the classes are going for him and what he is learning. In March, a team from Biltmore Baptist went to Guatemala to help with needs there. Sam McLamb, a WAKETHESILENCE board member and Single Adult Pastor at Biltmore, was able to present the money to Pastor Misael from our ministry. Before the team left for this mission trip, Sam received a request from Pastor Misael's church for guitar strings. These strings were donated to WAKETHESILENCE Ministries, so they were able to present these also! Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy!
