You may have noticed the large shipping container is gone from the back of the church. Praise God it is now resting in Oakland waiting for the first available boat to the Ivory Coast. As these things go it could take some time so please be in prayer for God to have his hand on this process.

On December 6 the Shoreline Guatemala team leaves for Pixabaj, Guatemala. Located in the Highlands far from any city, Pixabaj is at 8500 feet elevation and populated by starkly impoverished Mayan natives. Working in partnership with Out Post Ministries, this is Shoreline’s third trip to help build and equip the Christian school there. The Mayans must learn Spanish to have a chance at escaping the poverty that dominates their life. The school is Christ centered, teaches both Spanish and English to the children, who then go home to their village and teach the parents; the opposite of how teaching usually works! Children memorize Scripture, share Spanish and much more that they are learning with their parents which offers hope that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. Please be in prayer to support this team; we look forward to hearing their stories when they return on December 13th.
