Greetings from Buckner!

The Cooley's asked that we send you email updates while they are traveling in Guatemala with Buckner to minister to orphan children. We heard from the team and they are all doing well; we will let you know when the trip leader has the opportunity to contact us again.

In the meantme, please keep them in your prayers as they fellowship together and seek to be used by God in the lives of these Guatemalan children who desperately need so much. Pray for their team unity, safety and health, and that the Lord would work through their faithfulness for His glory.

Please know that we are also praying for you while they are gone and pray for God's presence and goodness in your life.
