Bound by Love: A Global Mission

October 20, 2024
This service at Hamblen Park centers around a mission trip to Guatemala, where members of the congregation share stories and reflections from their experience. The service highlights Hamblen Park’s partnership with a school in Guatemala, La Libertad, where members from all age groups engaged in activities like providing books, teaching science concepts, and playing games with the children. The testimonies from the team emphasize how the trip was life-changing for both the participants and the Guatemalan children, showing how God’s love transcends language and cultural barriers.

The children’s message focuses on teaching the congregation about Guatemala’s location and the impact Hamblen Park has had by providing books for the school, which lacked such resources. Through playful activities like soccer and origami, team members built meaningful connections with the children, illustrating the love of Christ through their actions.

Several speakers share how the experience deepened their faith and understanding of community. The recurring theme of the service is the importance of building global friendships rooted in Christ’s love, which empowers both those who give and those who receive.
