Anna &
Jonathan Strock
- Peronia,
Guatemala |
 |
|
Where did
you go?
Peronia,
Guatemala (right outside of Guatemala City) The ministry
we worked with the entire week was called Casa Verde
ministries. It is directed/ run by a local missionary
named
Chris Schoff who was our guide and
facilitator
for the week. |
Who Went?
About 10 kids and five adults
plus one missionary who is based in that city and was our
guide/facilitator for the week
|
|
What was the focus?
Our purpose was to spread the love of Christ and to bring
the hope that comes from knowing him to the children and
people of Peronia. While there, we witnessed God continue to
bring light to a very dark place as He raises up an army
that He will use to save souls and overcome the strongholds
that the enemy has on that city. |

|
What was the schedule?
1. Construction- We
laid concrete for a play area/ soccer field for the kids who
attend Casa Verde where they can have a safe place to play
off of the streets. (the pictures show the progression of
what we did during the week including digging a footer for a
wall)
2. Worship and
teaching- Each night we worked with a different age group of
kids (from high school to three year olds) Our group led
worship and had a small amount of teaching each night. We
also visited two local churches and two schools where our
group led worship and taught as well.
3. Skits and puppet
shows- Each time we ministered to a different group of
people, we performed skits and puppet shows for them. The
puppet shows were mainly for the younger kids but we
performed skits for all of the groups we worked with.
4. Prayer ministry-
Each time we finished working with a different group we
would end it by dispersing and praying for each person
there. God worked in mighty ways during this time, and He
was constantly wowing us with the ways that He touched and
changed people's lives (including our own) :) |

Kyle Kaminski
-Camp
Alkulana,
Virginia USA |
 |
|
Camp Alkulana---- For the
past three years Kyle has devoted 12 weeks out of each
summer to be a camp counselor at Camp Alkulana. This past
summer his time was cut short due to flooding at the camp
and a commitment to a study abroad program.
Camp Alkulana is located in the Allegheny Mountains of
Virginia and has been serving inner city children of
Richmond, Virginia since 1915. The camps mission statement
says that it exists to make a difference in children's lives
by revealing God's existence as reflected in nature and His
love as demonstrated by camp leaders and proclaimed in His
word and worship.
Kyle hopes to return to Camp next summer after
graduating from Stetson.
