On June 3rd 2018, the unexpected happened! The eruption of Volcan Fuego took everyone by surprise and left at least 190 people dead, 57 injured, and 256 remained missing as of 30 July 2018. While immediate help and recovery took place, the effects have left many still without a place to call home.
There is so much need and so many ways to help, after watching this video, won't you please share with us what God is putting on your heart to help make a difference.

Contribute to our Housing Project in GUATEMALA
Since our first homes constructed in October, 2017, we can complete an average of 2 homes during a one week stay, with and average Team size of 8. Why not consider joining us on our next journey to Guatemala for a life changing experience of Love and Service. This is the beginning of a NEW Project we began looking into while we were living there, and with the assistance of our Home Church in Guatemala, we hope to make it part of our bi-yearly mission trip that you too, can be part.
You can help with a donation of any amount and be confident that it will be put to good use as we fill needs of those God guides us to. As we accumulate funds, we will keep you up-to-date of our progress and the families who we hope to bless with a NEW HOME.

Physical Therapy Ministry...
The needs of the physically challenged in most pueblos in Guatemala are just that, a challenge. With almost non existent local resources, many need to travel to larger cities for their care. This not only involves paying for transportation, but also for treatment which many families do not have. In an effort to help with some of these needs,

From Butch and Terry Alcorn in Guatemala...
It was an exciting time this week as we began distribution of your donated Water Filters. We will continue to post photos and advise the donors via email of our progress.
Even though our initial drive has ended, the need has not. We will gladly accept your donation at any time. What a wonderful gift this would make for a needy family for Christmas. You may also want to think about donating a Water Filter in honor or memory of a friend or relative.

Saturate Magdalena with Clean Water
Join us on our continuing mission to change the lives of the people in our community in Guatemala. With your support, our goal is to place one of these water filtration systems in 50 homes in our community by the end of October.
The need is enormous, the effect is life changing and the cost is minimal when you consider the impact it can have on just a single family.
For a mere $42.00 you can partner with us to provide clean drinking water for a family of 5 to 6 people for 2 years.

Comments from a few of our donors...
Our Personal Testimony…
We have seen much improvement in the families where we have placed these filters. Decrease in stomach/intestinal problems, less general sickness (coughs, colds and flu). We would like to see more families benefit from drinking clean water. We also, have been using this filtration system in our home for a few years now, and believe it would be beneficial to every family to have one in their home. For us, it saves on the cost of purchasing bottled water, for our neighbors who can't even afford bottled water, here are some of the benefits this system provides...
· Reduces diarrhea over 50% along with other intestinal infections
· Reduces respiratory infections, caused by the open fires used to boil contaminated water
· Reduces absenteeism at work and school
· Increases health and productivity
· Reduces firewood expenses and time for no longer needing to boil water on an open fire
· Reduces medicine costs required to treat a stomach illness caused by unfiltered water
· No more purchases of bottled water
