We are Mike and Karen Rhea,originally from Sacramento, California. We left from there on our sailboat and ended our journey in Saint Peteraburg, Florida. We received salvation through Jesus Christ and dedicated our lives to the Lord at Calvary Chapel, Saint Petersburg. We were blessed to serve in homeless ministry while at Calvary Chapel Gulf Beaches and to be involved in prison ministry with "Barnabas". Then the Lord called us to do His work in Guatemala in 2001. We began work on a free medical clinic and outreach center in the Rio Dulce region of Guatemala. We believe in meeting physical needs while sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus set such clear examples in His ministry on earth. The free clinic has been operating sience mid 2002 in the village of La Esmeralda. We have also been able to do remote clincs in other areas of the river. We arrived in Guatemala in 2001, since that time the Lord has been showing us the need for a Christian orphanage. This burden as been placed heavily on our hearts. We will have our first baby sometime in February. Of course the clinic and remote outreach clinics will continue. |
