Having Faces: Being Neighbor

I came to Guatemala with a Graduate Preaching Fellowship in 2004 to learn to be neighbor. I was ordained at the St. Paul Area Synod Assembly in June 2007 as a pastor of the Iglesia Luterana Agustina de Guatemala and commissioned for service by two Synods of the ELCA and the Global Mission Unit of the ELCA. I serve in Guatemala with the ILAG as a missionary and a pastor.

Learning about Preaching… and Vocation

While here in Guatemala since I am here with a Graduate PREACHING Fellowship, I am learning about preaching… the only way you can… to dive in and love people and to confess Christ to and with them right in the midst of their lives and your own. During these last months, I have once again learned the importance of being open to the unexpected, the unplanned, and the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We have been freed by Christ to live out our vocations, trusting that God will use us in our daily lives and work. As I exercise my freedom as a daughter of God, I have been blessed here in Guatemala with work that I love, work that I freely and joyfully give myself to, work that I hope I can continue in my future.
