Work continues on Inheritance Church in Guatemala.

GUATEMALA
The Inheritance E-Free Church/Christian School is coming along in Guatemala, thanks to GoServ Global teams.
The $20,000 matching fundraiser at the end of last year was successful with the final matching dollars coming in late December. This fundraising money will be used to pay off all 2016 GoServ Global Guatemala accounts and leave us enough money to pour the floor in the church ($10,000) and put in the septic system ($3,000). The hope is there will still be enough left to hook up our electrical system ($5,000).
If you're interested in supporting the church and or Mark, visit
goservglobal.org - Choose "Guatemala Projects" or "Mark Lee Support".
If you're interested in volunteering with GoServ Global in Guatemala, call 515.448.3131 to schedule your team.
