Managers of Students International
"Bringing students and the poor together cross-culturally
to encounter God, share the Good News, disciple
and serve others in occupational ministries".
They work in the medical, dentistry, agriculture
engineering, construction, social work, etc in four countries
including Guatemala.
We are meeting with them to see how they work with agriculture
ventures as in pigs, chickens and veterinary medicine.
Across the street a Islamic mosque....
At the other corner was the US Embassy.....do not dare to take pictures
They have a one block square property with razor wire and men with very
large guns!
We spent our first night at a hotel in Guatemala City
as we had flown in at midnight...at the corner was the Star of David
Guatemala had the deciding vote with the UN to accept Israel as a nation
There is a large community of Israelis living in Guatemala City.
When we take teams to Guatemala it is always too busy to
meet with new organizations, ones we are working with or just
finding out new areas to take the teams so we come in January to
scout out all of the above.
The end to a great day!
