Chad and Marlana Smith – World Orphans Guatemala Ministry
We’re so grateful for your prayers and partnership as we witness God working through all of us to preserve vulnerable families for His glory.
Chad traveled to Guatemala in January for 2025 planning and ministry meetings, and to Peru in February to connect with potential partners. In March, both of us joined our Guatemala team for the annual pastors’ conference. Chad returned last week to join the Magnify team during the end of their church partner visit and brought two new World Orphans US staff members to see the ministry. We celebrated Aleia’s high school graduation and Emmet’s graduation from Cornerstone. Parenting teens and young adults is both rewarding and stretching. We’re so thankful for your support and prayers.
We praise God for Magnify’s recent visit to your church partner, Tabernáculo, in Guatemala City. Seeing the fruit of that partnership and the church’s impact in their community reminded us of the power of long-term relationships and it is truly encouraging.
Our Church Mobilization team is exploring two new partnerships with local Guatemalan churches. We would appreciate your prayers for wisdom as we discern long-term connections.
In our vocational training program, we’re launching new products, improving systems, and tracking quality and attendance across all workshops. We’ve also welcomed a Graphic Designer and a Director of Education, who is creating a Montessori-based curriculum for the children of the moms learning the trades. Praise God!
God is also opening doors in South America, particularly in Peru and Colombia. Please pray for discernment as we seek His guidance for future ministry there.
Please continue to pray that God would guide and bless the work of our hands for His glory and the good of the families we serve.
