Guatemala (MNN) — Because of a home-building ministry, God is growing the church in rural Guatemala. Paradise Bound Ministries began by building homes for needy people through work teams who also shared the Gospel. Paradise Bound’s Dan Smith says as people came to Christ, opportunities for discipleship training emerged. Then something miraculous happened. “Discipleship groups began to grow and turn into church plants without us really specifically engineering a church plant. It automatically happened as they began to grab hold of the Gospel themselves.” Next surfaced the need for leadership training. That program started with 22 students in October. “We actually send our vehicles out to villages on a quarterly basis, pick up the pastors, bring them to our facility, then take them back after that weekend event. It’s costs about $250 per training session, per pastor.” Financial help is needed. We’ll connect you at our Web site.
