Singles Conference in Guatemala

I had an incredible time at my first Guatemalan Church Singles Conference. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but by the end of the weekend, I was convinced that attending the conference was the best thing for me spiritually. The title of the conference was “Colors of Hope.” It was encouraging to see that the whole thing was coordinated and planned by singles. I think the ambiance added to the glory of the weekend. We stayed at a nice hotel perched in the woods, surrounded by the sounds of nature. The singles of the church in Xela, about 18 of us, left Saturday morning and headed to the capital to meet up with the other 400 singles attending. I think the most impacting aspect of the conference was the small group. We were asked to get into a group of 3 and to be paired with people we didn’t know. Well that wasn’t hard for me since I hardly know anyone. This was to be our prayer group and it was fantastic. We prayed together throughout the weekend and I felt we were able to share our hearts and bond with one another. Saturday night we had a huge bonfire where we sang songs and presented skits from the bible. It was nice to see everyone enjoying themselves in the fellowship. I also had the opportunity to meet a lot of singles and have great conversations. I kind of stuck out because I don’t look Guatemalan and I definitely don’t have a Guatemalan accent. I’m always excited to share about the church back home I think it helps the disciples in Guatemala realize how big the kingdom really is. Below you’ll see some pictures from the conference.
