Just 18 days till we're on our way to Guatemala!

Here's some info about why we're making around 2,000 witness bracelets for all the Lutheran churches in Guatemala:

Rebeca de Franco, our Guatemalan Lutheran Hour Ministries host, will visit every Lutheran church in Guatemala in the upcoming year. She asked about witness bracelets that could be used to tell the gospel story through the colors of the beads. When the Concordia Lutheran congregation heard about the project, they jumped at the chance to make a mountain of these bracelets. We have nearly 700 made just from CLC, and a Spokane tripper Mom and youth group are donating another almost 500. Kits are underway to get to the goal of 2000 by the time we need pack the bags on March 9. Each bracelet will be accompanied by a card with the meaning of each bead’s color and Bible verses, all in Spanish.

Thanks to all who've been counting beads, cutting string, trying knots and putting literally thousands of kits into bags!
