Santo Domingo Xenacoj

Church in the Community

Santo Domingo Xenacoj
Bethesda Iglesia (House of Mercies)

One of our prayers upon moving here was that God would lead us to an area where we could partner with a church or plant a church through our Pastor's Training Program. Church Partnerships are key to continued investment and discipleship within a certain area. We are very grateful that the Lord connected us with our friends at Bethesda Iglesia. This is a new church plant just on the outside of Santo Domingo Xenacoj. Our overall goal is to help provide resources, programs and trainings that will allow them to extend a helping hand within this community.  In addition to this, we host a weekly Women's and Kids Bible Study and Feeding Program to help share the Gospel to those living in this area. 

Our outreaches consist of intentional discipleship with the women and children, beginning each bible study with worship and prayer. Everyone receives a vitamin and the kids get a snack after their devotional. We have a weekly bible verse for the kids to memorize to help them remember scripture and when they are able to recite the verse, they receive a small goodie bag with candy, snacks, toys and/or healthy treats. 

 

The Lord has continued to expand the Feeding Program by allowing our numbers to grow over 100 families. This cost is approximately $450 per month. If you would like to help provide financial resources towards this ministry, you can donate by visiting our Donations page and note 'Feeding Program' on your donation. Our hope is to provide them with vitamins and a food for balanced meals that will help promote good overall health.

Each day we serve in the community, we offer free medical care to the women and children. So far our team has been able to offer treatments and checkups from severe burns to offering nutritional programs for expecting mothers. We are grateful for this opportunity and recognize the responsibility that comes along with this type of ministry.  God has provided our team with not only qualified people but hearts full of compassion for those in need. We encourage you to visit our Medical Care page to read more about the care we offer and the list of supplies needed to provide this to the wonderful people here in Santo Domingo and all over Guatemala. 

Please join us in praying for our friends and church partners here in Santo Domingo; pray that they will know they are loved by not only us but by our Heavenly Father! - Pray for salvation in and through Jesus Christ.
