A shuddered laugh escapes his lips at the mention of Jesus. His head twitches uncontrollably, left to right, as he smiles back into my Dads eyes with pure mockery.

Andreas Steffensen, one of Faith in Action’s key members, returned to Guatemala with 16 other members from his church which is located near Albany, New York. His church’s heart was to see the construction of the school in Castulo finally begin after so many months of fund raising and planning. In February of 2010 that [...]
In a small hut down the mountainside, a wailing cry drifted into the crisp evening air. In the shadows of an adobe hut, where inside the doorway pork loins dried over a clothesline and chickens curiously peeked through crumbled holes of adobe, a precious package was delivered into the arms of an overjoyed mother!

A village, trapped by the claws of darkness and plummeting towards the edge of extinction, raise their voice one last time in the hopes of someone hearing their cry!
