A Lifetime in Guatemala: Our Story

by Brad Thompson, Raymond Woodward (Foreword), James Poitras (Foreword)

Brad and Regina Thompson have dedicated over 37 years of their lives as missionaries serving the nation of Guatemala. Their three sons, Anthony, Ryan, and Tyrell were born and raised in missions and were a part of many of the experiences shared in this book.

Brad was born and raised in New Brunswick, Canada and Regina in Georgia, USA. They traveled to Guatemala a month and a half following their marriage, never imagining that it would lead to a lifetime of service in the nation that they came to love and call home.

Their passion is training and equipping men and women to reach their full potential as members of the body of Christ. This is evidenced in the fruits of their labors in Guatemala. They have developed a dynamic Bible School program in which classes are offered in 30 locations throughout the nation with hundreds of students being trained annually. The results are seen in exponential growth in local churches and the consistent establishment of new churches around the nation.

Currently, God has opened doors for them to impact Bible Schools all over the world. Their passion for training has only increased through the years and it will be exciting to see what happens as their story continues.

Enjoyable storytelling of a truly great adventure. I recommend this to anyone.

I love the style this book was written in. The writer not only wanted to share his personal experiences as well as his family members, but also to provide insight, checkpoints, and things to ponder from your own experience or what you will one day experience. This book is great do anyone interested in becoming a missionary or has a family member in missions. Anyone who is a ministerial role can benefit from it as well.

Incredible! The book is as good as the people and that speaks volumes. The insights, checkpoints, and tips for missionaries, young and old alike, are invaluable. The book is as entertaining as it is inspiring. It’s a masterpiece that one read likely won’t suffice. You don’t want to miss this one.

One of my favorite global missions books in the UPCI. Life changing/altering stories. The Thompsons are the real deal!
