During one of our prayer sessions in Panajachel (Gautamala) we came across this river that flowed all the way to the Lake here in Panajachel. I truly experienced that God wanted to tell me something special about this river. We continued on with praying and I just truly sensed that God wanted to remove all the durt and filth within this river. The river symbolizing Gautamala.

To give a true insight about the true situation and state of the place: The toilets were broken and used until they were overflowing. Can...

We had the privilege to sleep one night on the top of the mountain and had some time to reflect on the words we read in the bible during the time Moses spend there. As we sat in the silence surrounded with the beauty...
The Lime Teams travels have led them to a place where Paul spend 3 years of his ministry. This city has been rebuild three times but we were surrounded with the after picture of history unfolding infront of our eyes. Where once a cıty stood we only see rocks and ruins. Let me take you on this journey with us: The Great Theater Infront of the Theatre we see a street that in the past use to strech to the sea shore. It's hard to imagine the sea being here because when you look around you there is no sign of the...
