Phew, a sigh of relief! Our whole team has FINALLY landed in Guatemala! God provided a way for our last, but not least, team member to arrive… so, now all five of my gals are here. I am surrounded by women who find their passion in the Lord. I get to serve alongside five beautiful, kind, compassionate, and overall amazing women. It has been such a pleasure so far and I am so stinkin’ stoked to see where God leads us as a team. We have created a team that values authenticity, encouragement, discipleship, patience, and adventure. I am already beyond thankful for these ladies and what they are contributing to this group. Scroll on down to meet the outstanding people I get to live with!
Ephesians 4:2-3 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

Paula,
What a super cool blog! To give a snapshot bio of your amazing fellow-laborers. Mixco doesn’t realize whats hit them! What each of you asked for and/or are believing for from the lord this year on mission, already breathes and is saturated with his heart and his already revealed “good, perfect and acceptable will”.
Loved how you phrased it,” pursuing Kingdom through the ART of loving Oneanother”.
Amen sister !
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
I love this idea! I might just steal it for my team too 😉
Love that you are allowing us to meet all the members of your team.
I loved meeting your team! It’s so nice to put faces with the names we’ve heard. We are praying for all of you daily!
It’s wonderful to see your smile and hear about your passion in serving God through this ministry team! Thank you for the introductions. I’ll be praying for all of you and following your journey.
Thanks for introducing your team. I am praying for all of you. Love you.
What a POWERFUL group of women!!
