Synergy 2015 Conference

/0 Comments/in , /by

This week, staff members, Nathan, David, and James, will be attending an international conference known a Synergy. Synergy is a yearly event that happens in some of the largest urban areas in the world, and this year it happens to be held in Guatemala making it extremely convenient for Engadi to be a part of, and actually partner with in hosting.

The week long conference led by the Urban Training Collaborative (UTC) seeks to unite all types of organizations, political leaders, pastors, anthropologists, businessmen, and others to explore viable strategies of renovation transformation within an urban setting.

We seek to gain insight in ways that we can improve the innovation of Engadi Ministries and better deliver #hope and #brotherhood to the neighborhood of Paraíso within the slums Guatemala City.

All Aboard!

Today, those who have excelled in ‪#‎Engadi‬’s Derek Program over the last month were rewarded with a day away from Paraíso to Guatemala’s Railroad & Train Museum. Most of these boys have rarely ever left the neighborhood they grew up in and educational trips such as these are a way of bringing them ‪#‎hope‬.

Out of the twenty-one young men in the program, fourteen earned a trip to the local museum which none had ever been to before. These boys have served numerous hours within their neighborhood over the past weeks, and have had high attendance ratings in their weekly discipleship groups. The trip was a way for this ‪#‎brotherhood‬ of boys to get away for a day, learn, and celebrate their achievements together. Praise God for their hard work and persistence over the past month!

Trashcan Community Service

/0 Comments/in , /by

The boys within the Derek Program have been busy working to take responsibility for and improve their community over the past few weeks.

While Paraíso is often characterized by the amount of trash polluting the communities, these boys have decided to change their community by creating, implementing and servicing public trash cans. These young men scavenged the community to find plastic bottles which they then fashioned into public trash cans. These cans will be placed in public areas and maintained by the boys.
Here they are working diligently on the project. We can’t wait to update you with the final product!

Meet Pearce!

Pearce gave up a week of her summer vacation to come to Guatemala and bring ‪#‎hope‬ to the people of Paraíso. This week she attended her school’s Future Career Day as a missionary.
“I work for Engadi Ministries. I am a missionary in Guatemala,” she declared. She even brought her morning coffee like our intern, Brooklyn, did this summer.
We are thankful for Pearce’s example in faith and service to others. Keep it up, Pearce! We can’t wait to have you on staff one day!

Juanes’ Birth Record

/0 Comments/in /by

We all take for granted the fact that we exist and are identified in someway. What would happen if you weren’t even sure when you were born? What if you didn’t have a birth certificate? You couldn’t enroll in school, apply for a job, get a Driver’s license, get married. You may be on this earth physically, but you don’t exist on paper.

Juanes Lopez thinks he was born in October 2001 and has never been to school because his birth was never registered.

Yesterday David & James found his birth registry in the medical records of small hospital.
Juanes was born September 7, 2001!

Still working on getting it legally registered and getting a birth certificate.

Just another way to bring ‪#‎HOPE‬ to the boys in Zone 18.

Today, the team for Shearer Hills will depart Guatemala to travel home to Texas. Pray for safe travels for the team. Pray that the people they met and served will leave a lasting impression on their hearts. Pray that they will not quickly forget what God has shown each of them this week.

Thank You, Shearer Hills

The team from Shearer Hills did awesome work on the road to Engadi Ranch. This team of seven far surpassed the amount of road work we expected for them to accomplish. There are now very few sections left that need to be fixed, and we are hoping to start work on the property of Engadi Ranch early next year. Thank you Shearer Hills Baptist Church for your hard work and helping us draw very near to our goal. Here are some final photos of their work this week.
