Guatemala Thursday
Today we toured the Guatemala Compassion Offices. Everything I see from Compassion runs like a well-oiled machine. Everything.
For lunch we joined some local Pastors. Most of these guys run churches in the poorest of neighborhoods and with Compassion’s help, each church ministers to 200-300 different children. It’s like an intense VBS everyday. These Pastors are heros.
Here is a quick video of a beauty named Roca. Shawn and I visited his home and found out that he is not yet sponsored. I felt the Lord prompting me to sponsor him (it would be our 2nd Compassion child). How could I say no?

My name is Scot Longyear and I'm the Lead Pastor of eXchange, a community of people following Christ and serving in His cause. We are a part of Maryland Community Church where I serve as the Sr Associate Pastor, a fancy title which, when translated, means “he who goes to many meetings.”
