julio y agosto

Lombard Mennonite Church
This was LMC's first experience with the Connecting Peoples program and I'm sure something they will never forget :) After spending a few days getting oriented with the CASAS program in Guatemala City, the 11 youth and 4 adults spent time helping with Tropical storm Agatha clean-up in Santiago Atitlan. They then visited communities in Sibinal, San Marcos and learned about how the issue of migration is affecting that area. The group also had the pleasure of learning what it means to be in the mountains of Guatemala during the rainy season!






ENLACE 2010

"Enlace is a Spanish word meaning "to weave together." The Enlace program is about providing 16-19 year olds with the opportunity to grow in faith as global Christians by living in community and working alongside Guatemalan partners."


This year the Enlace group spent time visiting communities in Santiago Atitlan, San Marcos, and various parts of El Salvador. Please read the blog above to hear more about their experience from their own perspective. I, for one, thought it was a fabulous time and especially liked the mini-sticks! :) We were pleased to continue this connection with MCC Ontario for the 5th year in a row - yeah Enlace!
