Agua Viva Children's Home

I think it is necessary to clarify that I don't consider the trip to Guatemala to have been a "mission trip". The reason and purpose of missions is to share the good news of Jesus Christ with people who have not heard it. This was not the case on this trip since the Agua Viva (which means Living Water) is very Christian, and the children there are constantly exposed to living examples from visiting church groups as well as the biblical teaching of those who run the home. Still, it gave me a new prospective and love for the worldwide body of Christ and hopefully a greater desire to spread the love of God across the world through real world missions. It was very encouraging to spend time and to be able to serve such wonderful children. To hear and see the living testomies of the effect that mission teams like ours have had through giving of time and money to care for these children.
