Exciting News to Share!

I have been trying to find time to write a full update, but my schedule has been very challenging recently. Long days come together to make long weeks, and I just have not been able to carve out a spot for writing. But I do have some big news to share, so I will do so now and try to do a full update later this week.

This week our Board of Directors approved that addition of Brad and Tiffany Jones to our Guatemalan team! Brad and Tiffany will be joined by their two children, Chloe and Currie, and will serve as the Directors of one of our departmental headquarters. At present, we are not sure in which department they will serve. Instead, they will come and serve alongside us, receiving training and learning Spanish for the first six to twelve months, and will then transition to the department that will later be determined.

Brad brings with him extensive management experience in the field of health and safety. He is currently working on his Masters of Theological Studies with an emphasis on missions. Tiffany has three years of credits toward a Bachelors Degree in Social Work with a minor in special education and has lots of experience in children's ministry. We believe they will be a great addition to our team.

Currently they are planning on joining us in Guatemala next summer or fall. Please pray for them in the coming year as they have much to do, including fundraising, selling their possessions and home, and saying goodbye.

On another exciting note, our daughter, Krishauna, and son-in-law, Andi, will be joining us here on August 20th! (That is only 10 days away, but who's counting?) Krishauna will be putting her degree in special education to good use with our ministry, while Andi opens a Guatemalan branch of Push the Rock, a ministry that makes and builds disciples through sports. Please be in prayer for their transition as well.

More updates coming soon! Please be patient!

Blessings!
Daryl, Wanda and the Crew
