Guatemala Mission Trip 2008
 In July a team of adults and young people from Druid Hills Baptist Church went to Guatemala to help build a school for girls in the very poor village of Santa Maria de Jesus. This was the second mission trip for our church to help on this school project as a group of us went last June and helped work on the first floor of the school which is named Proximos Pasos (Next Steps). Last November the girls were able to move from a rented building into the first floor where we worked last summer. The construction goals this year included more finishing work on the first floor and painting and electrical wiring on the second floor. Returning this year the DHBC mission team found the school looking incredibly great! The rooms we painted and helped electrically wire last year are now full of girls receiving a Christian education. The Mission Team had a very busy week. After traveling all day Saturday we rested and then on Sunday morning attended a small church in Antigua and participated in a very moving service that included a lot of joyous singing and clapping. Monday through Friday we worked hard at the school in various activities. On the second floor the team painted, installed electrical wiring in classrooms, and chiseled off rough concrete in the stairwell in preparation for painting. On the first floor we made and poured concrete for a patio area, painted the large entrance area, helped hang electrical lighting, and assisted in the classrooms. Some of the highlights of the week occurred on Wednesday and Thursday when Vivian sewed all day with the girls and in the afternoon she, Shawnalea, Vicki and Gerry, Say and others completed a sewing project with the girls. All this sewing is taking place on the sewing machines God led our church to provide them.
The 2008 DHBC Guatemalan Mission Team thanks you all for your prayers and generous support. The team is extremely honored and humbled to have this opportunity to do God’s work and represent our church family.
