We just learned from Lauren that the School of Life and Hope (1 of 2 schools that we worked in during our July trip) might be getting new neighbors. Apparently the land next to the school is for sale and the school is planning on purchasing a part of that land. The rest, however, is going to be turned into a by the hour hotel that will be a den of prostitution and drug dealing. This would obviously not be a good thing to have right next to the school. In fact, the picture above would be overlooking the new set-up as it is right next to it.
Right now it appears that the only way that this can be avoided would be if God provided the school with the additional funding (which is quite substantial) to purchase more of the property. Please pray about funding and protection for this very important ministry in Guatemala!
