Hector and Arryn Nuila Bauder
Hector and Arryn and their four children serve the Kekchi people in Chisec, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. They work with Compelling Love Ministries, alongside Arryn’s parents, Rocky & Karren Chupa.
Their heart is to serve the people that the Lord places before them. They work with North American teams, creating youth events, translating, facilitating home visits with sponsors, leading evening debriefs, etc.
Arryn is the Educational Sponsorship Program coordinator, which has over 150 children attending Galilea Christian School between pre-school and career school. She is the liaison between the school and the families as well as the bridge between the North American sponsors and their sponsor children.
Hector works closely with the Pastoral Fellowship Group. 25 – 35 pastors meet together once a month for a time of teaching and fellowship over a meal.
Hector and Arryn are also involved in their church – El Calvario Internacional – supporting the pastoral family by helping with children and youth activities.
When Rocky & Karren are away, Hector & Arryn manage the ongoing work of Restoration House – a clinic for malnourished children and pregnant women.
Their newest project is developing a sports discipleship program where children and youth can come and learn about the Lord through sports training.
The verse the Lord gave them for their marriage and ministry has been Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans and thoughts I have for you, says the Lord, plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
