The Most Recent From The Garcia’sHello friends We would like to share with you what is going on with our family. OUR FAMILY Eliam is about to turn one year old on September 15th. He almost walks by himself all around the house. Our youngest is growing up and we are trying to enjoy the stages of his life. David (AKA toto) is being quite a challenge for the both of us. He is strong willed, correction and rules are a hard for hi to adjust too. It has helped us to grow and depend on GOD to guide him. Andrea and four of her schoolmates took second place at the Spelling Bee contest couple of weeks ago. She worked hard studying Forty words, but in the last round she was the only one on her groupd that missed a word. It was difficult for her, but a great opportunity for us to encourage and support her. As a family we are praying so we can take some much needed vacations at the end of October and beginning of November. We are thrilled and also we are praying for certain specific things. The first SST (Season of Service and Training) School in English Carlos had the chance to co-direct the first English SST School just this past month. We had 15 young teens from Minnesota to take this course, as always God did some specifics and profound things in their lives. We all ready have some other churches interested on the course, so we expect to continue with this program on years to come. Our relocation of YWAM base We are experimenting one of the biggest changes that JUCUM Guatemala has had in years on till now. Now are a crucial moment of moving, for almost twenty five years this was our location. But at the same time we are excited and have a conviction that God has great things for us a a Ministry wherever we maybe, we are currently moving to a two rental houses that are located about fifteen minutes from our last location. This two houses are big enough to do handle our most immediate needs, but it will be a challenge to have enough space in which we can house all the things we have to move. We are seeking God’s grace as a Ministry so He can continue to protect us on this time of transition and for our family so we get accustom to a new place and adjustments that will be expected of us. Prayer Points - For wisdom, guidance, love for our kids. (Specially for a teachable and obedience spirit for David.) Thank you for the time you have taken to read our newsletter. We bless your lives greatly With Love Garcia’s Family | Lo Mas Reciente De Nuestra FamiliaQue tal amigos queremos compartirles un poco de lo que esta pasando en nuestra familia y ministerio!!! |

Newsletter
Our 2009 Discipleship Training School is over, as always has been a blessing to see how each one of them got to know God in a very unique way. Now they have new concepts of is He. Of course the outreach portion was incredible, we where in Huehuetenango, an area of Guatemala, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, both countries in Central America.
After three years we could as a family go to an outreach, that was Huehuetenango, we spend two weeks that were a bit challenging but at the same time but blessed at the same time. As usual air mattresses were the norm, we had a classroom was a room, it was an adventure for our kids. Something that we had not seen before, about eighty people receive Christ as they personal savior, which it made this trip worth, even if the fruit of our efforts was only one to know Christ still would have been good.
Costa Rica
I had the opportunity to work in the area at the epicenter of and earthquake that hit part of the country about four months ago. We worked in devastated areas building homes, carrying the materials to the construction site, like center blocks, cement, rebar’s. Also we build some septic tanks, worked in the strawberry fields. The team and I slept in containers, during the days were like a furnace and at nights were very cold.
Something that God told us was to share the Gospel with words but also with actions, we can tell a person that God is the answer, but many times we are part of it. We help a individuals recuperating from alcoholism and drugs, helping in their workshop which is use to raise funds, we shared some studies and dramas. Lastly we had children’s programs at the projects and parks.
Our kids
Happy Birthday to you!!! Was our song the past May and June for our kids Andrea and David. Andrea is now eight and David is four, for the first time we organized a party to celebrate their birthdays, it was of much for them but a lot of work for us. For now our three kids are recuperating from a virus that affected their respiratory system, we had a hard time going to the Doctor’s various times, buying medicines, as well trying to maintain a positive attitude in the mist of a difficult time, but it is a blessing watch them recuperate and heal thanks to the God’s intervention.
How to pray for us
- For the total recuperation of health in our family
- For God’s wisdom and guidance for us, for we have some important decisions to make
- For God to keep to adding more people to our monthly supporters
- For discernment and wisdom educating and guiding our kids
- For a renewal of spiritual refreshment from God for our base
- For a possible Tonsillitis surgery for Carlos and Andrea
- For some of the teams currently working with us at the base this month
Thank you for your friendship and prayers, we hope this newsletter is informative of what is going with our family.

Update from the Garcia’s
Hello
We would like to share with you what God is working on in our lives.
One of the things that God has showed us is to start some type of Business that generates income so we can continue working in missions. God has opened the doors for us to be able to buy vehicles in the US and bring them down to Guatemala and sell them down here for some profit and support ourselves.
His faithfulness has provided us with the finances to buy a vehicle, at this time we are praying that moneys come to finance the shuttle of the car from the US to Guatemala.
The quantity is $1400, this includes the $600 of import taxes of the car in to Guatemala and $800 for the car to be brought down.
If you so feel inclined to helps us with our endeavors please contact us via email garcias@ywamguatemala.com or call 011-502-2483-3000.
We are praying that answers come in soon, we already paid for the car to the gentleman that has the import car company to bring it, he already left to the USA to buy it and we are hoping to have all the rest of the money to deposit to him or have it send to him in the US.
Thank you for your support in prayers and financially, you makes us feel part of the same body with the same goal.
Carlos & Karla
Queremos compartir con ustedes las cosas que Dios esta haciendo en nuestras vidas.
Lo último que Dios nos ha estado hablando es acerca de ver la posibilidad de comenzar algún tipo de negocio el cual nos genere ingresos extras para poder seguir trabajando en misiones. Dios nos ha estado abriendo puertas con la posiblidad de traer carros de los Estados Unidos para venderlos aqui en Guatemala. Una muestra de su fidelidad es que tenemos la oportunidad de poder traer nuestro primer vehículo y El nos a provisto las finanzas para poder comprarlo y en este momento estamos orando para que el nos provea para traerlo a Guatemala. La cantidad por la que estamos orando son $1400 (esto incluye $600 de los impuestos en Guatemala y $800 de la traida del carro hasta aca) Si te gustaria apoyarnos en esta nueva aventura a la que Dios nos esta guiando por favor escribenos lo antes posible a garcias@ywamguatemala.com o comunícate con nosotros al (502) 24833000. Estamos orando para que mañana podamos tener por lo menos los $800 para traer el carro.!!!!
Gracias por sus oraciones y apoyo....Nos hacen sentir que somos parte de un mismo cuerpo y con una misma Meta!!!!
