The Counseling Clinic


I do not know if this term really exists, but if not it is going to be one of the terms that we are going to be pointing out now and then in Nueva Generacion. Let me tell you the story behind this term. Claudia Escobar one of our staff teachers is ministering in one of the schools of the town of Santa Lucia Milpas Altas, close to Antigua Guatemala. She mentioned me the urgent need that the school has. She told me that only in one class of 20, 14 students were having suicidal thoughts and they wanted to do it. That´s only in one class, but she had more students in the entire school. We have a small group of discipleship in that school, but we needed something more aggressive for this matter, we talked with Claudia and pray about it. During this time we had the visit of the incredible missionaries of the World Race (once again the World Racers strikes back). We got one class, we put three different groups (six people working) and we started to call the students. At first the students were really shy, but then they were coming by groups, we stayed for about three hours over there and more than 25 students went by. We prayed, counsel, talked, everything, introduce to them to Jesus, but most of all we saw how the Lord glorify on the students, we heard a lot of bad stuff and we have a lot of stories that we cannot share in this media. But we encouraged you to pray for the students and for the big work that Tania (our staff in charge of Discipleship) has to do just in this school. God bless you…
