Life Ministry

The primary heartbeat of DeepStream remains the same whether a missionary in Guatemala, or a missionary in your place of business, neighborhood, or elsewhere. 

For all christians, our lives are our ministry.  (read more)

Homes for the Homeless

One of the areas of ministry God has clearly led us into is that of home construction for homeless families.  A new home is a huge blessing for anyone living in extreme poverty. This ministry is not only meeting a great need, but also providing a way for us to connect deeper with families.  Our prayer is to develop strong friendships with the families, and eventually be able to help them in a greater way.

You can build a homeless family a new home for approximately $3,000.  For this small amount, can you think of anything you can go without in order to radically change the life of a family in need?  CLICK HERE for more information.

Sports Camps

We are excited to be working together with a guatemalan family, Mynor and Walda Leiva, who share this passion to use sports to bring the loving truth and character of Jesus to children living in poverty.

In poor communities, many of the kids don't get to play organized sports because of cost and transportation. So these camps are an opportunity to pour the love of Christ on kids in a way that they really appreciate and get excited about.  It is also an avenue to connect more closely with families.

Following the Holy Spirit

As we go through life in Guatemala (and as is the case anywhere), one thing is for sure - opportunities to help people come at us every day, from every angle.

We pray and rely on the Holy Spirit to tell us what projects to take on.  These various projects can be as time consuming and meaningful to what we are doing here as anything organized that we are doing.  Examples of projects include:

-helping disabled kids (Esbin, Lucas)

-building playgrounds, basketball courts, etc.

-misc construction projects and home rehabilitations

-hosting groups and teams

-medical clinics and meeting medical needs as needed

-food, clothes, and shoe distributions

-working projects with local schools

Honestly this list goes on and on.  Each day brings a new opportunity...  all part of LIFE MINISTRY!
