This has been one of the most exciting times of our Ministry. The recent election of a Christian to the highest authority level in Guaimaca, the office of Mayor, has opened the door for World Baptist Missions (WBM) to reach the 40,000 people of Guaimaca for Christ. Alcalde (Mayor) Armando and Sandra Raudales have already, in the first five months of their time in office, have accomplished much more for the people of Guaimaca than has been accomplished by previous mayors in four hears of their times in office.
They have developed a Senior Citizen Ministry, which provides a hot nutritious meal each day for around 150 elderly poor people in Guaimaca. They enjoy a great meal, fellowship, special entertainment, and even have several gardens where they grow corn, beans, sugar cane, squash, and other vegetables. I feel right at home there and join them occasionally for a great meal straight off of their big wood stove. They have cooks that really know how to make a meal tasty. We are not only allowed, but encouraged to tell them about Christ and invite them to place their trust in Him.
Another Ministry supported by Sandra and Armando is the Children’s Daycare, Feeding Program, and Christian School Ministry. Up to 500 poor children, who can’t afford to attend public school, attend the Christian school, where they receive a nutritious meal each day, study the normal subjects including music. They are learing to play the piano, guitar, violin, saksiphone, etc. Along with an education, great nutritious meals, we are not only allowed, but encouraged to tell them about Christ and invite them to place their trust in Him.
Another Ministry we are involved in with the Mayor’s office is the Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Center. Forty nine people, including forty eight men and one woman are cared for at the A&D Rehab Center in Guaimaca. They receive meals, housing, instruction, encouragement, and ultimately a new opportunity at life. We are not only allowed, but encouraged to tell them about Christ and invite them to place their trust in Him.
The Mayor has also asked us to design and build a complete water distribution system for the City of Guaimaca. To date Guaimaca has never had the blessing of potable water anywhere in the City. It is the desire of the Mayor, Armando Raudales, to one day provide the citizens of Guaimaca, all 40,000 of them, with potable water delivered to their homes in a city-wide distribution system. This is a serious responsibility, which we don’t take lightly. We are already working on the project and will be reporting more as we move forward with the project. This project allows us to come in direct contact with many people. We are not only allowed, but encouraged to tell them about Christ and invite them to place their trust in Him.
Mayor Armando also asked us to obtain a fire truck and two ambulances for the City of Guaimaca and to provide the training of firemen and EMT personnel. We are working directly with State of Georgia and local municipalities to find just the right equipment to meet the needs in Guaimaca. This will be a first for Guaimaca because Guaimaca has never had fire protection or ambulance service before. We are not only allowed, but encouraged to tell them about Christ and invite them to place their trust in Him.
We are especially pleased to be of service to Mayor Armando and Sandra and the efforts they are making to provide these new services to the people of Guaimaca. May I say once again that we are not only allowed, but encouraged to tell them about Christ and invite them to place their trust in Him.
