Orchestras & Choirs Serving in God's Love

Santa Rita is a small community near
Quetzaltenango.  We have been visiting Santa
Rita since 2003 but this is the first year that
Santa Rita has its own small orchestra.  The
center—surrounded by a beautiful view of the
volcano Santa Maria.  There have been struggles.  
To provide temporary lighting we strung an electric
cord from a distant house.  Sometimes during
evening practice we were all of a sudden plunged
into darkness—but our opportunities to spend time
with these young people are few and short so we
grabbed flashlights, candles, or whatever we could
and continued.  Some of the parents have been
very supportive—one family even purchased 2
violins.  We hope the best for their little orchestra.  
We hope that the practices, verses, and small
sermons delivered by adults of the community will
help strengthen and form the faith of their young
people.  Your prayers for them can make a
difference.
