It impacted the lives of hundreds of people as well as the communities where the participants ministered and the volunteers. Guatemalan Billi Lloel Mendez Vasquez, 19, shared his testimony.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy experience in Project Timothy and Encuentro has been the best thing that has happened to me. In the week that I served as a volunteer, the most beautiful part was at the end of Project Nazagol (a soccer outreach) in the community where I served. It happened in my last day of missionary service. During the week I had been praying to God asking that I would be able to win a person for Christ so that I could feel satisfied with my work. In the middle of the game, God moved me to share my testimony with the participants, and for the glory of God, 29 youth accepted Jesus as their Savior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: Dr. Milton Gay, Nazarene Youth International Regional Coordinator, Mesoamerica Region<\/p>\n<div id=\"69e2306c6bde0\" class=\"gg_gallery_wrap gg_true_gallery gg_masonry_gallery gid_51478 gg_hidden_ol gg_ol_bottom_mode gg_main_ol_show_on_h \" data-col-num=\"4\" data-gid=\"51478\" data-nores-txt=\"No images found\">              <div class=\"gg_loader\">            <div class=\"ggl_1\"><\/div>            <div class=\"ggl_2\"><\/div>            <div class=\"ggl_3\"><\/div>            <div class=\"ggl_4\"><\/div>        <\/div>  <div class=\"gg_container\"><div class=\"gg_img \" data-gg-url=\"https:\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Billy-Lloel4.jpg\" data-gg-title=\"Billy Lloel4\" data-gg-author=\"\" data-gg-descr=\"\" data-gg-tags=\"\" data-img-id=\"0\" data-gid=\"51478\">  <div class=\"gg_img_inner\"><div class=\"gg_main_img_wrap\"><div class=\"gg_img_wrap_inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" data-gg-lazy-src=\"\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/ewpt_cache\/280x0_100_1_c_FFFFFF_b8c0de4dfe6bd158adf9e55a0d6a3cdd.jpg\" alt=\"Billy Lloel4\" class=\"gg_photo gg_main_thumb\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Billy-Lloel4.jpg\" alt=\"Billy Lloel4\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_overlays\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_img \" data-gg-url=\"https:\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Billy-Lloel3.jpg\" data-gg-title=\"Billy Lloel3\" data-gg-author=\"\" data-gg-descr=\"\" data-gg-tags=\"\" data-img-id=\"1\" data-gid=\"51478\">  <div class=\"gg_img_inner\"><div class=\"gg_main_img_wrap\"><div class=\"gg_img_wrap_inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" data-gg-lazy-src=\"\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/ewpt_cache\/280x0_100_1_c_FFFFFF_7e58fa5ffad933d79a82174f1cbd40a2.jpg\" alt=\"Billy Lloel3\" class=\"gg_photo gg_main_thumb\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Billy-Lloel3.jpg\" alt=\"Billy Lloel3\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_overlays\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_img \" data-gg-url=\"https:\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Billy-Lloel2.jpg\" data-gg-title=\"Billy Lloel2\" data-gg-author=\"\" data-gg-descr=\"\" data-gg-tags=\"\" data-img-id=\"2\" data-gid=\"51478\">  <div class=\"gg_img_inner\"><div class=\"gg_main_img_wrap\"><div class=\"gg_img_wrap_inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" data-gg-lazy-src=\"\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/ewpt_cache\/280x0_100_1_c_FFFFFF_aa4fc29193acd02609f70d53af69456b.jpg\" alt=\"Billy Lloel2\" class=\"gg_photo gg_main_thumb\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Billy-Lloel2.jpg\" alt=\"Billy Lloel2\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_overlays\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_img \" data-gg-url=\"https:\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Billy-Lloel.jpg\" data-gg-title=\"Billy Lloel\" data-gg-author=\"\" data-gg-descr=\"\" data-gg-tags=\"\" data-img-id=\"3\" data-gid=\"51478\">  <div class=\"gg_img_inner\"><div class=\"gg_main_img_wrap\"><div class=\"gg_img_wrap_inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" data-gg-lazy-src=\"\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/ewpt_cache\/280x0_100_1_c_FFFFFF_fe829593f6230c7d783fa2ca90b42219.jpg\" alt=\"Billy Lloel\" class=\"gg_photo gg_main_thumb\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Billy-Lloel.jpg\" alt=\"Billy Lloel\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_overlays\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_img \" data-gg-url=\"https:\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Billy-Lloel5.png\" data-gg-title=\"Billy Lloel5\" data-gg-author=\"\" data-gg-descr=\"\" data-gg-tags=\"\" data-img-id=\"4\" data-gid=\"51478\">  <div class=\"gg_img_inner\"><div class=\"gg_main_img_wrap\"><div class=\"gg_img_wrap_inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" data-gg-lazy-src=\"\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/ewpt_cache\/280x0_100_1_c_FFFFFF_8d5850657b10b997b6e682d884045cae.png\" alt=\"Billy Lloel5\" class=\"gg_photo gg_main_thumb\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Billy-Lloel5.png\" alt=\"Billy Lloel5\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_overlays\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\">     (function() {         \"use strict\";
