The valley we live in is located in the mountain highlands in the department of Quiché, one of the hardest hit areas during the Guatemalan civil war which ended in 1996. Almost all infrastructure was destroyed including roads, education and healthcare. Yet the families, these people who have become our neighbors and friends, were resilient. Farmers by nature, they have continued to grow crops along the steep mountainsides; attend the schools dotted throughout the villages and towns when their work at home allows them to; rebuild and work on local roads which allow access to the rest of the country on the other side of the high mountain ridges; and make the long treks necessary to get to a local medical facility for births, routine chronic and clinical care, and emergency services.

It has been an honor to live and serve in our valley in the areas of aviation, agriculture, medicine, nursing education, and worship. More specifically, Aaron oversees and performs maintenance and inspections on all of Adonai's aircraft; offers inspections and maintenance to other aviation ministries as time allows; manages dairy cows, hogs, cattle, and crops; and connects with and supports local farmers in their personal agricultural practices. Katie primarily homeschools their children now, but she supports Adonai's clinics and nursing school when possible, and also serves as a worship leader in Adonai's prayer room.
