Ministry in Guatemala

For the first nine years, our ministry in Guatemala is based on the Biblical precedent set by Christ Himself in His earthly ministry and exemplified by Paul in his missionary journeys - that of team work.  From 1991 to 1999, we worked as a team with Bro. Dan Martin, who came to Guatemala in 1989. In late 1999, the Lord lead Bro. Dan to a new ministry endeavor in the United States.  During the years of working with Bro. Dan, God blessed our efforts in many ways.  Our goal has been in the past and continues to be the training of faithful men and the establishment of local New Testament Baptist Churches.
