"We were like those who dream, then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing." Psalms 126:1-2
Many an evening as we watched Maranatha Mission Stories on 3ABN we found ourselves saying "We want to go!" Whether it was building schools in India, wells in Mozambique, or churches in South America, we were always filled with a longing to jump in and get involved.
Well, this year our dream became a reality as we applied to be part of a group of volunteers going to Freire, Chile, on the Maranatha Family Christmas Project. The idea of spending the normally stressful, hectic, and (in our country) materialistic holiday season in service to others made this particular project extra appealing.
We were thrilled when our application was accepted and we quickly booked our tickets to Chile. This is the story of our adventure with Maranatha in the beautiful country of Chile!

I really enjoyed reading about your trip and the photos are great! What an amazing opportunity you were given. I am thankful for God's grace and protection during this trip and know that you all received untold blessings as you served Him. Thanks for taking the time to put this blog together and for sharing it with me. I will be praying for the members of this new church and their community. Lots of love to all of you, Denise
