The G2G club, which stands for Good to Go, is off to a great start. The members of the club are partnering with a school in Guatemala City, Guatemala, called Comunidad de Fe, which translates to community of faith. Comunidad de Fe is a small Christian school with grades kindergarten through 6.
The G2G members have gone into every elementary class room and done a presentation about the club. Elementary students filled out information about themselves, that the G2G members will translate into Spanish and then send down to Comunidad de Fe. Hopefully the club will be able to set up a pen pal program between our elementary students and theirs.
G2G is doing fundraisers to help Comunidad de Fe. For example, it is doing a change drive. Club members made small change piggy banks out of bottles and sent them home with every elementary, middle school and high school student. Two weeks ago, the club held a very successful bake sale. The members helped by making some delicious brownies, muffins, cookies, and pies and then selling them in the hallway across from the cafeteria.
The Club is also starting up Taco Mondays, or Loco Lunes, where students can buy tacos in the lunchroom to support the cause. Taco Mondays will begin in January.
Comunidad de Fe has sent us some prayer requests and we have sent them ours. Here are some of theirs:
-That the Lord will continue to provide the teachers needed for the school and give them a heart of ministry.
-That their financial need of the school would be met.
-For the families of the children that they would understand the importance of putting their child in a Christian atmosphere.
-That God would open a door for them to have their own property someday.
Hopefully, G2G will continue to build a good relationship with Comunidad de Fe. If all goes well, the club is planning to visit Guatemala in 2 years.
