Hi, my name is Mike Watkins and I am the lead pastor of the church - Iglesia Del Camino, the IDC here in Antigua, Guatemala.

Now we are ready to move into the next opportunity that God has before us. This will take everything we have been doing to a whole new level….. “it can only be done with God leading the way…”

For more details of this project – please visit milcasas.iglesiadelcaminogt.com The Vision Homes in 5 years. This translates into 1,000 families having love demonstrated to them and for them, offering them a chance of finding hope. With pride in their home and thus pride in themselves, giving them motivation in hope where before there was little to none. This translates into as many as 100 neighborhoods/communities with Pastors and Mentors raised up to watch over them during this time frame; growing new faith families to walk alongside one another, to lift each other up when they are down and to help them hold to their life purpose. This translates into economic stimulus and as many as 25 new jobs (5 in the fabrication process - 20 Pastor/Mentors) bringing with it a revitalized hope and future.
