Guayabo Bagaces

With 10 volunteers and 6 staff members, the project trip team was fairly large. Because of this, we accomplished a lot of work.

The project was to design several bunkhouses and cabins for visiting Westerners and for the ministry staff. There was some confusion throughout the week because the eMi's main focus is serving the poor but this project was for rich Americans. The ministry in Guayabo was run by Westerners who wanted a retreat center. How do you reconcile such opposing view points?

It didn't feel like "real" mission work. And that was hard for a lot of us. But God is sovereign. He is good. I was reminded throughout the week how much I learned at summer camps and various retreats. No matter what happens in Guayabo God will use it for his glory.
