Guatemala City Children’s Concert

Posted by Cornerstone Chapel on October 16, 2011 · 3 Comments 

Our first full day in Guatemala and it sure was full of new experiences and opportunities to see God working.  We started out going from Antigua to Guatemala City where we picked up Dan from ‘Servants for Him’ and a local pastor.  They took us into an extremely poor area to go door to door inviting families with children to a special concert. We saw material poverty up close, as the doors we knocked on were just metal sheets and their homes where dark, dirty and tiny.

We then went to the concert, which included music, games and a neat dance team.  Our team played soccer with the kids and played in the playground with the smaller ones.  At the end of the concert there was an alter call where we got to pray with many children as they raised their hands and came forward.  A few of us also got to pray with some of the adults that where hanging around watching the concert from a distance.  Though the weather report called for heavy downpours of rain all day long, God answered our prayers holding back the rain.  After a lunch break it poured as we left the city.
