Where We Were in March
Wow!
What an incredible trip. In eighteen years of participating in the Volunteers in Mis-sion Building Teams program of our annual conference, I was privileged to be the team leader of 2007 Team #22 to Paxot (pa-shot) Segundo, Guatemala. This was, by far, the single best team that I have taken and the single best mission trip that I have experienced. Our journey began with a 3.5 hour flight out of Charlotte and was followed by a grueling 6 hour bus ride on a tricked-out “chicken bus”. We arrived about 9 PM and we were greeted by most of the village. The men and children helped us move our luggage into our temporary home – a concrete block community build-ing with nothing in it but concrete floors and a few bathrooms. The team tells me that within three minutes of my head hitting the pillow I was sound asleep for the rest of the night. You always sleep better when you are at home and Guatemala has always been a second home for me. During the course of the week our team put a new roof on a new church, began to prepare the walls for stucco and demolished the old sanctuary. It seems odd to sum up a weeks worth of work in a single sentence because it was anything but easy and simple! The National Primitive Evangelical Methodist Church of Guate-mala took wonderful care of us during the week. We were extremely well fed by our cooks, the Methodist Women did our laundry, our interpreters were wonderful and the members of the congregation and community were wonderfully gracious to us.

Friends In Christ,
Miracles still happen and God is good! Kara Bingham was released from the hospital on March 9th. We brought her home to Charlotte last week. On February 15th, she had a bone marrow transplant. The transplant went well, however, there is still a chance of rejection, therefore she will have to continue to go to Winston for the next 100
days. It will take about 9-12 months before Kara is “back to normal.” She now has a 50-60% chance of the leukemia not coming back.
On behalf of the Bingham Family, we express our most sincere appreciation for all the prayers and expressions of support given on behalf of Kara.
The “Caring for Kara” fund has received enough to pay all of her medical expenses to date. The outpouring, the love offerings, the fundraisers, all have been just an amazing act of grace. Thanks again and may God continue to
bless your ministry.
