Kara & Mario

We have been so thankful to have faithful supporters making it possible for us to work here in Guatemala. Now that we are leaving, I wondered if any of you would like to continue supporting missionaries serving in Guatemala. I would like to share a little about two missionaries we have met, Kara and Mario.

Kara has previously taught first grade in the Dominican Republic and after three short-term trips to Guatemala moved here to start a preschool in Magdalena. Her vision is to provide a Christ-centered educational environment for children in this town who are not otherwise able to attend preschool. They have just completed their first year and she has big dreams for this school to continue to grow.

Mario works with Students International, an organization that works with students and the poor bringing them together cross-culturally to encounter God, share the Good News, disciple and serve others in occupational ministries. Mario coordinates projects involving water filters, building projects, and other projects to benefit the families of the community of El Gorrion.

Mario and Kara will be getting married December 3rd of this year. Their plans are to live in Magdalena and continue serving communities nearby. They love serving others and simply want to be the hands and feet of Jesus, serving others and sharing his love with them.

If you would like to be a part of the work that Kara and Mario are doing here in Guatemala, feel free to email them at mariomendez54@gmail.com or tapestryofloveinguate@gmail.com.
