Guatemala Deaf Ministries Inc. Teaching deaf people to reach deaf people for the Lord Jesus Christ

Hello Everyone,                                                            April 8, 2020

School has been closed now for three weeks. Mario was able to return to Quiche to be with his friends at the orphanage. That was a miracle in itself.  After much prayer, we have decided to weather this COVID-19 storm at our home in Twin Peaks. We were able to get the last two tickets on the last evacuation flight (due to a cancellation) heading back to the States on Saturday, landing in Houston. We rented a car (to minimize exposure to the virus) and drove to California. The day after we left, President Giammattei announced the closure of all travel between departments. God provided a way for us to leave just in time.

The amount of virus cases in Guatemala continues to rise. Praise the Lord our staff and students are all well. Please pray for them as they deal with the imposed curfew and all of the closures. Every day the government is putting more limitations on the citizens. It is particularly difficult for the Deaf because getting reliable information is challenging. It is unsettling not knowing what is happening. Food is still readily available, even toilet paper. 🙂 There are long lines and short open hours. All public transportation has been suspended.

God is still good and faithful and able to take care of us. We will trust Him in this situation.

Please keep praying and supporting this ministry if you are able. We are still paying salaries and expenses. And please drop us a note if we can pray for you.

In His service, Greg and Jeanette
