Bud Williford on his way to Guatemala to serve at HFTCM

Putting on the “GARMENT of PRAISE” - Isaiah 61:3. I am praying that it’s the season for me to join others in Guatemala expanding God’s Kingdom.

While having struggled with addictions most of my adult life, I am now experiencing the freedom that only comes from knowing Christ. A freedom He wants all of us to have regardless of the individual struggles that life sometimes brings.

Just a few months ago I joined a mission team from Riverstone Church for a very short week in Guatemala. I expected to return with a greater appreciation of my life in the U. S. but never expected to experience such a different and much more understanding of how “HUGE” God really is. I do not have the words to describe my experience. I only know that its time for me to give.

“Hearts for the Children” is a terrific ministry that preaches, teaches, feeds and clothes many in need. They are looking for capable bodies and witnesses for Christ help them in their mission. By the grace of God, I now have a chance to return to this beautiful country where these beautiful people live extremely simple lives.

I will be leaving the first week of September and staying for approximately 30 days. This trip, I pray, will reveal more specifically His purpose for me there longer term. It will be a time for learning and serving. I believe that God has a plan for me there and I pray that you will be led to support me and this ministry.

My budget for the trip is as follows: Transportation $450

Room and Board $600

Ministry support $500

Total $1450

I have already raised enough to cover the bulk of my transportation. Any extra I raise will go directly to the ministry. Please pray for this effort and if you are lead to support me financially make your tax deductable contribution to: forWord Partners, Inc.

2836 Landing Way

Marietta, Georgia 30066

Please do not write my name on the check but simply include a note indicating your support toward my trip. Thanks and God Bless you!

  1. Hi Bud...It was good to meet you when Tom was in town earlier this year. I am excited to see that you are now in Guatemala and preparing for your long term work there. May you continue to be free from any bondage of this world and enjoy giving of yourself to others. Be blessed...
