For this month's CONNECTION:
- Meet Pastor Aníbal from Tecpán, Guatemala, through a 3-minute audio story
- Learn more about Guatemala’s water crisis
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” — John 17:20-21 (NIV)
While artistic license has been taken, Pastor Aníbal and the events in this audio reading are based on a real story of impact depicted by Living Water Guatemala colleagues.
