Mount Hebron Baptist Church, Elmore, on mission

Jim and Carol Browder, members of Mount Hebron Baptist Church, Elmore, in Elmore Baptist Association, traveled to Guatemala Oct. 21­–28 on a missions trip.

Working with Southern Baptist representatives Jim and Carol McGriff, the Browders prayer walked about 15 K’ekchi’ communities.

The majority of these communities have never heard the gospel, while a few have a small number of believers.

“We have done this multiple times but each trip is different. This was our first visit to the Petén region,” Carol Browder said. “[The K’ekchi’] are very gracious people.”
