The Road Less Traveled...March 2020 Photos above:Dinner with Danielle and Mohammed; One Minute Witness Seminar; Inside St. Peter's Basilica; Sunset in Vatican City;  Witnessing in the Park  The coronavirus has impacted almost every nation and has brought many things to a halt including groups coming to Guatemala to do ministry.  We are following the dictates of the Guatemalan authorities and are praying that the virus will soon be contained.  I have been reminded of late of a song that was sung in our church. It's words are  a good reminder of what is needed during this time of trial for many people. The lyrics to the song "In Time Like These" are: In times like these you need a Savior In times like these you need an anchor Be very sure, be very sure Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock This Rock is Jesus, yes He is the One This Rock is Jesus the only One Be very sure, be very sure Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock During these times our grip must be firmly established in Jesus.  He knows what each person is facing and He is there to meet them. At the present time Susy is quarantined in El Salvador for 30 days.  She was in El Salvador last week translating for a pastor from the USA.  When she tried to enter Guatemala she was not allowed because we had been in Madrid on March 2 and Spain is on the list of countries that Guatemala at that time was not allowing to enter the country.  When she returned to El Salvador they told her she would be quarantined for 30 days in a facility which was previously used as a military base.  More than 300 people were quarantined in a large room which did not seemed to be a good way to control the spread of the virus if someone actually was infected.  On Sunday night Susy was moved to a new location where she has her own room because she has had a history of problems with her lungs.  She is doing well and I am grateful for the care she has received.  It is a difficult time for many people who are separated from their families.  Please pray for Susy as well as the many people who are in the same situation that she is in. At the end of February we traveled to Moldova to see my daughter and stopped in Rome for a couple of days to see the tourist attraction.  I have previously been to Rome 47 years ago when I was in the US Army in Germany.  My daughter, Danielle and her husband Mohammed were able to join us in Rome.  We stayed in Vatican City and were close to all the monuments, St. Peter's Basilica and the Coliseum as well as many of the fountains and other churches.  It was all very impressive looking at the elaborate art work and construction inside the churches.  It is such a contrast to many of the churches I have been at in Guatemala that are very simple structures, some without electricity. While in Chisinau, Moldova we had the opportunity to conduct the "One Minute Witness" seminar at the International Christian Fellowship church.  About 65 people came to the all day seminar and afterward we went to a local park to talk with people using the One Minute Witness method.  The first person we talked to was a young man who spoke no English but our translator shared my message with him and he gave his life to the Lord.  Another man we talked to listened attentively and I asked him if he had every had any experience with God.  He said he did not believe in God and really never thought about whether there was a God.  He lived for the moment with no thoughts about life after death.  We had the opportunity to plant a seed of the love of God for him and pray that it will take root in his life to bring him purpose and hope for the future.  We enjoyed our time in Moldova and would be open to returning to do more training with the Evangelical churches in the country. Due to the virus, teams have canceled their plans to work with us and our ministries we conduct each week have been put on hold until it is safe to continue.  We have some YWAM Conferences coming up in April and May and we pray that they will be conducted for the benefit of the staff who will be attending.  We place our trust in God's plans for us during this time of uncertainty about the future.   Thank you for your support that enables us to do the ministry God has given us.  We appreciate your prayers during this time as we look to the Lord for his protection and provision.  If you would like to financially support us you can give  online or by check made payable to YWAM Chico.  The mailing address is: YWAM Chico 15850 Richardson Springs Road Chico, CA 959783 Please attach a separate note to indicate it is for us.   Copyright © 2020 YWAM Antigua, All rights reserved.
