27 youth and adult leaders hiked the 17-mile trail to the top of Pico Duarte, the highest peak in the Caribbean, experiencing God's creation and reaching new heights together. Along rugged trails, they discussed the importance of loving and obeying God and encouraging one another through personal challenges. This adventure deepened faith, strengthened bonds, and taught valuable lessons about perseverance and step-by-step focus. Praise God!
KAG is starting a new initiative in the community for survivors of sexual violence. We hosted a second Escuintla Survivor's Network to promote the continued restoration of survivors of violence in Escuintla. From the strengthening of community bonds, friendship, and the creation of peer-led safe spaces, this network of sexual abuse survivors helps nurture each other in their journey of healing and freedom.
