Welcome to our blog!

Welcome to our 2017-Tactic blog!! As in previous years, our team wants to invite you to follow our blog while we are serving in Guatemala. In this blog you will find stories, prayer requests, and a quick glimpse of what each one of us is experiencing while working on the field. Our team is formed by 18 people. Together we will be providing primary care services to the community of Tactic [tak ' tik]. Tactic is  located in the department of Alta Verapaz Guatemala. The languages spoken in this community are Spanish, Poqomchí and Q'eqchí. Our team will be flying from Newark airport to Guatemala City on July 13th. Guatemala is located in the central time zone, which means that time difference is 2 hrs. behind PA time. Please keep each one of us and our families in your prayers. Blessings!
