Face of Friday
Meet Josh, Mariela and Rut…. A few weeks ago we had the privilege of meeting these three on a vision trip to Guatemala. Together they lead a ministry to help children in Guatemala escape the cycle of poverty. Have you ever met people you instantly admired? Confession time…this does not happen with me very often.
