I think I have been on mission with LBB for 9 times, this summer will make 10, and the thing I love about LBB is that we go to a different village each year. We will have most of the same support from the main church in Salama and just like the different regions in the USA, there are different things to learn and see about Guatemala. With that said, the one thing that is always the same, is that the people of Guatemala are happy to see us, they are beautiful, they are kind, they are giving....yes, we are sharing the Good News of Jesus with all of them but God is always reminding me, everyone is seeking the same thing... God and His love, Jesus. From the United States to Guatemala, everyone is seeking to fill a void that God created in us that only He can fill, but all of us try filling that void with other things. In Guatemala, we share what we personally know how the love of Christ changed our lives, and I do love sharing that message.

Would I recommend someone who hasn't been to Guatemala to go and why...
At 16 I was called to do missions, I didn't tell anyone, I choose not to listen to that call that God gave me at 16 and for the next 10 years my life was out of control. Since that time, I have served in my local church in some way shape or form and I loved every moment of it, but I needed more. After my boys grew up and left my house, mid-40's, I thought, "Gee, I would love to go on a mission trip internationally." At that time there wasn't really an option for that in my area, and I started asking God to use me where He wanted me. Tho and behold, here come the Fulton's and Love Beyond Boarders. I began going on missions trips every year since then, granted, on your first trip you may be thinking, "Here I come, I am going to share Jesus and people are going to be saved." But that is not all that mission trips do, during all of the mission trips I have been able to be a part of, God has renewed, restored and rebuilt me, I come back a better version of myself, reflecting Jesus a little more each time. Is your life just the same ole' same ole', do you serve in church and attend regularly but still come away with a sense that there has to be more to this life of Christianity? Being on a mission team with LBB is one of the greatest blessings God has ever given me and He is waiting to give that blessing to you too. I would recommend going to mission with LBB no matter how old you are...step out of your comfort zone and allow God to increase your territory.
