In 2009 and half of 2010, we helped another ministry in Chiquimula, Guatemala. In August, 2010, we had finished what we were led to do in that particular ministry, so we thought we would return to Alabama. The Lord spoke to Brandi and me though, and He revealed to us that we were to begin ministering to pastors and leaders in the area. The Lord also spoke to Brandi and told her that we were to keep our eyes open to His leading and plans He had for us in Guatemala, and that He was not finished using us in Guatemala, so we named the ministry Eyes Wide Open Ministries.

We began to make some contacts in several villages in Chiquimula and had our first seminar for pastors and leaders in El Morral in 2011. Now, we have grown and expanded into new areas. We now have bought land and started building the learning facility in El Morral where we will host the seminars and other training events.
