The First Point of AMG's Mission Statement (above):
"To provide each person an opportunity to hear and respond to a clear presentation of the gospel of Jesus Christ"
Hello Everyone,
We wanted to share some recent news with you about the ministry here at AMG Guatemala. This month, AMG celebrates its 32nd year in Guatemala!! Praise the Lord for His faithful guidance and provision for the ministry for all these years. He has used so many people within the body of Christ to accomplish the spread of the Gospel to hundreds of thousands of children and their families during these 32 years. To Him be the glory....great things He has done!
This year we are trying to work on our "identity" as an organization, so we decided to use our anniversary celebration to focus on who AMG is, our mission statement, and what that means to the children who are in our program. So, we started by making sure all the children understood what AMG stands for. Do you know??? Advancing the Ministries of the Gospel. It's a little tough with the kids here, because in Spanish it is "Avanzando el Ministerio del Evangelio", so it's actually AME. We had asssemblies during the day with the different age groups and explained this to them and had them repeat the meaning several times.
...and then at each assembly we shared verses about the Gospel to be sure they understood the "G" part of AMG:

During each of the assemblies, both the staff and the children shared songs, dramas, and read poems that they had written about AMG.
...and our preschool director, Betty, made up an acrostic about AMG that hung on the wall during the assemblies:
You can "click" on the acrostic image if you want to try out your Spanish. Betty is pictured on the right with Robin and I.
We finished our time with prayer and then the kids went outside to play and enjoy a real treat....ice cream for everyone!
