Preocupémonos los unos por los otros, a fin de estimularnos al amor y a las buenas obras. No dejemos de congregarnos, como acostumbran hacerlo algunos, sino animémonos unos a otros, y con mayor razón ahora que vemos que aquel día se acerca.
Hebreos 10:24-25
#fca247
RECARGAR EN COMUNIDAD
No podemos seguir a Jesús de forma aislada. No es que “no debemos” es que simplemente NO PODEMOS.
Es vital que participemos en la iteración del “ahora y todavía no" de la familia de Jesús, la iglesia, que es a la vez hermosa y profundamente defectuosa.
Es muy difícil ya que entre todo lo que está mal en el mundo caído a causa del pecado, las relaciones son algo muy profundamente afectado y arruinado. Relaciones con Dios y las relaciones unos con otros. El amor ha sido distorsionado por la caída. La traición, los celos, contiendas, heridas, soledad, egoísmo y demás están arraigados en el alma humana. Jesús salvó, está salvando y salvará a cada uno de nosotros de esta ruina al formar una gloriosa familia, un nuevo equipo lleno de Su amor: la iglesia. Solo debemos seguirlo a Él, y seguir su camino.

With a friend we talked about how so many times without saying a word, without even knowing each other... we have shared so many moments and created so many friendships just by playing together. Thank God for this game! And the amazing people we got the chance to meet.

Para finalizar la unidad deportiva de beisbol llevamos los alumnos de @amgguatemala a conocer el Diamante Infantil de Beisbol Gálvez Sobral en el cual el presidente de la liga infantil de clubes Carlos Hernández nos recibió con los entrenadores de los distintos clubes. Los chicos repasaron las distintas técnicas básicas de este deporte y concluimos con encuentros entre los alumnos.
Agradecemos a Dios, a la Federación de Beisbol (FEDEBEIS) @fedebeisgua , y a los entrenadores
Jeferson Gutierrez de El Salvador 🇸🇻
A. Marino, Fabián, Eldri Castillo, Maynor Pérez de Rep. Dominicana 🇩🇴 y demás entrenadores que nos acompañaron.
Mil gracias por su apoyo, oramos y buscamos expandir los ambientes deportivos 🙏🏽⚾️👀
Praying for this team as well 🙏🏽 we love you and we miss you! We hope you all are growing closer to Jesus and pursuing His will!
“I give thanks to my God for every remembrance of you, always praying with joy for all of you in my every prayer, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. I am sure of this, that he who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 1:3-6
It’s been almost a month since this “Mountain Top Experience” of Global Impact 2024 (and the literal mountain top experience of hiking Acatenango 😅).
We pray that this was not just a once in a lifetime mountain top experience, but a reminder that we are meant to enjoy each step of the journey, following the way that Jesus already mark. His calling is simple: Follow me. Let’s keep being disciples that make disciples, that make disciples. This is not meant to be an experience, but a lifestyle. Keep pressing and keep following Jesus, I promise the view at the end of this life on earth is going to be so worth it. We are praying for you and we miss you ❤️
“After this I looked, and there in heaven was an open door. The first voice that I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.””
Revelation 4:1
“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.”
Isaac Newton
Thank you Jesus, we pray for everyone in their own journeys, ministries and jobs. May they always remember: they have influence and they are called to reflect Jesus light wherever they are.
“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.”
Isaac Newton
Taking a moment to just look back… and be thankful. Is not about us, is all about Jesus, and He is so kind and merciful that he allows us to collaborate in His redemption plan.

¡Los entrenadores tiene INFLUENCIA!
Excelente tiempo con los entrenadores de EMEFUT @pf.emefut aprendiendo a entrenar la mente y el corazón además del aspecto físico. Esperamos poder seguir compartiendo y capacitando en cada una de las áreas del atleta del siglo 21.
The foundation of what we do and who we are is Jesus. Anyone can share food bags, teach soccer, give away stuff and do good deeds.
We shouldn’t stop doing all those good things we are called to show our faith by our works and serve, but also we never have to forget why we do what we do, and who enables us to do it… the name above all names: JESUS.
“But you will receive power and ability when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be My witnesses [to tell people about Me] both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth.””

“¶When I see and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have established, What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him? Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, [1 Cor 15:27; Eph 1:22, 23; Heb 2:6-8] All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the field, The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas. ¶O Lord, our Lord, How majestic and glorious and excellent is Your name in all the earth!”

Cuando compites hay factores que no puedes controlar directamente como el clima, el terreno de juego, el árbitro, tu contrincante o incluso el resultado. Pero hay otros factores que si puedes dominar: tu actitud y tu esfuerzo. Al tener una buena actitud y dar tu mejor esfuerzo, afectas indirectamente todos los demás factores. #ñ

When you compete there are factors that you cannot directly control such as the weather, the field, the referee, your opponent or even the final score. But there are other factors that you can control: your attitude and your effort. By having a great attitude and giving your best effort, you indirectly are able to affect all the other factors!

Thank you!
Let’s keep praying and caring for one another. May God bring His peace, power and unity over our lives so we can keep sharing His love and His message of salvation in a faithful and bold way!
As we should :)
“With all prayer and petition pray [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] in the Spirit, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all God’s people. And pray for me, that words may be given to me when I open my mouth, to proclaim boldly the mystery of the good news [of salvation], for which I am an ambassador in chains. And pray that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly and courageously, as I should.”
Ephesians 6:18-20

We pray that in everything we do, on and off the field, we demonstrate that we are godly people!
“Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; and walk continually in love [that is, value one another—practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance.”

Week 3!
It was a bittersweet week visiting one last time the programs of @amgguatemala , All Abilities and @casabernabegt .
@hannah.c.campbell came and helped the students to start developing their ministry game plan.
Had a great weekend visiting Antigua Guatemala and visiting @newhopechurchgt where we learned about CHOOSING JOY! Great message to remember hours later when we where stuck in traffic for about 2 hours 🤣.
Please be praying as the students leave to Lake Atitlan for their last week, a time where we can wrap things up but most important: pray, dream and plan with God to see what he wants to do with us 🙏🏽
“A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life], But the Lord directs his steps and establishes them.”

Week 2 already? It’s going so quick! We had some great time worshipping, learning and serving together!
@khuggie12 helped us to go deeper with THE FOUR our tool to share the gospel. Also @dr_fca_27 and @fca.hillcountrytx shared THE CORE, 8 principles to strengthen our faith. We got the privilege to serve in one of the local churches as well with worship and the sermon. We are heading to our last week of field ministry and teachings please pray for the team, teachers and staff in Guate!
Week one has been awesome!
Lots of soccer, testimonies and good food. Had a great experience in all the programs and also we hiked “Pacaya” one of the 3 active volcanoes of Guatemala. Keep us in your prayers as we start week two!
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love that he had for us, made us alive with Christ even though we were dead in trespasses. Ephesians 2: 4-5
