No building? Guatemalan church still serving
Guatemala (MNN)
A resilient church in Guatemala has not allowed the pandemic to change their Gospel-centered mission. Despite overwhelming odds and roadblocks, they are serving their neighbors and the outcasts in Jesus’s name with limited resources.
Guatemala has the largest economy in Central America. Even so, chronic childhood malnutrition and food insecurity have plagued the nation. The onset of COVID-19 made things worse, slashing Guatemala’s GDP by 1.8 percent – which translates into lowered personal incomes, retail sales, and industrial production.

So it’s no surprise that churches in Guatemala have also been impacted.
A maximum-security prison in COVID-19 lockdown is an unlikely place and an unlikely time for spiritual revival. Or so you’d think. El Boquerón Prison is.
