GSM President, Paul Banta and the Guatemala GSM Team are praising the Lord for the recent commitment of having John and Amy Banta as part of our Guatemala Ministry Team.

“God works in His way and His timing is so very perfect. We are please to have Amy and John along with their family join us in serving our Living Savior in Guatemala. Just a few years ago I had no idea I would be doing a soccer ministry around the world and that my Nephew John and his family would join us in serving the King of kings! His dad (my brother Peter Banta and mom must be thrilled,” says Paul Banta.

John and Amy Banta, along with their three children - Hope, Luke, and Titus, have joined the GSM team.

They are joining Nathan and Claudia Hardeman and the on-going work in Guatemala.
