Crusade

Guatemala has a sound all its own, church bells, market noise, buses weaving through the streets, and voices lifted in everyday survival. But in 2022, for a few unforgettable nights, another sound rose above it all: thousands of people worshipping Jesus under the open sky at the Guatemala 2022 Crusade. What began as a burden in prayer turned into a sweeping move of God as churches united, leaders prayed, and entire communities were invited to encounter hope in a fresh way.

From the first evening, you could feel it in the atmosphere—an unusual hunger. Families arrived early, youth came in groups, children clung to parents, and even those “just passing by” lingered at the edges of the crowd. Worship broke through the noise of the city, the Gospel was preached with clarity and compassion, and the altar moments became holy ground where tears, surrender, and new beginnings met.

In this blog post, we take you inside the Guatemala 2022 Crusade, the sights, the sounds, the stories, and the quiet miracles that happened as an entire nation was reminded: God has not forgotten Guatemala, and the mission is now.

Christmas in Nicaragua is full of colour—parades in the streets, music in the air, families gathering wherever they can. But behind the lights and laughter, many children face a very different reality at the end of the year: empty tables, worn-out shoes, and little hope of a Christmas gift. It was into that gap that the Nicaragua Children Christmas Support outreach was born, a simple idea to make sure that in this season, no child is forgotten.

What started as a burden in prayer became a beautiful move of compassion as churches, partners, and friends of Bethesda Foundation International came together to provide food packs, gifts, and practical support for children and their families. Alongside toys and treats came something even more precious: time, prayer, songs, and the message that God sees you, God loves you, and you matter.

In this blog post, we take you inside the Nicaragua Children Christmas Support program behind the smiles, the gift bags, and the moments where a small act of kindness turned an ordinary day into a Christmas memory a child will never forget.

Nicaragua has a way of etching itself into your heart—and in 2023, during the Nicaragua Crusade, it felt like heaven itself leaned in a little closer. What began as months of planning, prayer, and preparation suddenly became real as streets filled with posters, church bells echoed with expectation, and believers from different congregations united around one simple cry: “Lord, move in our nation.”

Each night, the crusade ground transformed into a sea of faces—families, young people, children on shoulders, elders with hands lifted high—gathered under the open sky, hungry for hope, healing, and a fresh encounter with Jesus. Worship rose like one voice over the city, the Gospel was preached with clarity and compassion, and you could almost feel the shift as fear gave way to faith and weariness gave way to renewed strength.

This blog post takes you into the heart of the 2023 Nicaragua Crusade—the moments on the stage and the miracles in the crowd, the behind-the-scenes obedience that made it possible, and the stories of lives changed forever. It’s more than an event recap; it’s a glimpse of what God can do when a nation gathers, even for a few nights, to say, “We are ready for You.”

In 2022, the Lord led Bethesda Foundation International into the heart of Guatemala, a nation of mountains and marketplaces, colours and cultures, where spiritual hunger lies just beneath the surface of everyday life. What began as a simple “yes” to God’s nudge became a full Guatemala Mission Tour, marked by open doors, unexpected connections, and a deep sense that heaven’s agenda was ahead of ours at every stop.

From crowded church gatherings to dusty streets and local communities, we witnessed God at work in powerful and practical ways—through crusade meetings, focused outreach, ministry to leaders, and compassionate care for families facing real needs. In every place we visited, we saw the same story unfold: people hungry for hope, churches ready for fresh fire, and a new generation eager to be equipped and sent.

This blog post shares the journey, the moments, and the miracles of the 2022 Guatemala Mission Tour, a testimony of what God can do when His people are willing to go.

One of the greatest joys of Bethesda Foundation International is knowing that we do not walk this journey alone. From prayer partners and pastors to families and friends who quietly support, encourage, and give, God has surrounded this ministry with a global family.

In this post, we pause to honour and celebrate the friends and families of the ministry around the world—those who stand with us in prayer, generosity, and love, helping us carry the mission across the street and across the world.

Belize has become the next stop on the journey of what God is doing through Bethesda Foundation International. With its rich blend of cultures, deep spiritual hunger, and growing youth population, Belize presents a unique opportunity for ministry, training, and community impact.

On this mission, our heart is simple: to strengthen local churches, equip leaders and volunteers, and reach young people with the love and truth of Christ—through teaching, prayer, practical support, and intentional partnership with believers on the ground. This post shares the vision behind our Mission to Belize and the impact we are trusting God for in this beautiful nation.
