Guatemala Monthly Update November 2025

Johnson Family in Guatemala May Update

Welcome to "Monthly Mission Moments," the podcast where I share the heartfelt stories and updates from our journey in Guatemala, as detailed in my monthly newsletter. Each episode, I dive into the experiences, challenges, and blessings we've encountered while serving the local community and building connections with friends, family, and fellow missionaries. In this month's episode, I reflect on our inspiring three-day trip to Coban, where we connected with mentors and friends who have been instrumental in our mission. I discuss our collaboration with Sepal, an organization dedicated to empowering Guatemalan leaders and churches, and the exciting developments in our sign language classes that are fostering community and growth. Join me as I share the joy of fellowship with local pastors, the potential partnership with Lake Gregory Community Church, and the incredible visit from a deaf leader who may be a pivotal figure in our outreach efforts. You'll also hear about the progress of our homeschooling journey, the creative talents of my children, and the rewarding work our team is doing in construction and training. This podcast is not just about updates; it's a celebration of faith, community, and the incredible work God is doing in our lives and the lives of those we serve. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us. Tune in each month for a dose of inspiration, encouragement, and a glimpse into the mission field. Your prayers and support mean the world to us!
