The dynamics of the service days\u000AThree different teams interact in the process. The advance team promotes the experience. They take care of logistics, diagnosis of the economic and social reality, prayer and spiritual mapping (this spiritual cartography is an essential part of spiritual warfare). The team of coordinators for the service day is made up of a doctor, a dentist, the one in charge of ministry (emotional prayer for the patients, problems and exorcism if necessary), bible classes for children, pharmacy, hair dressing, order and home visitation. The third team follows up. They include an agronomist to advise on crops, an engineer who gives advice about obtaining drinking water, a coordinator of primary education and alphabetization, a person that helps in the education of women and a pastor for the village provides spiritual aid to the members of the community.\u000AThey work in coordination with one of the ESH churches of the village to follow up the project. In each service day forty people participate on average plus twenty more who participate from time to time. They remain between twenty-four to forty-eight hours in the villages. Students of the ESH School participate in these service days. All the volunteers must cover their expenses for transportation and food during their time in the villages. One of the doctors who shared information of FMA with the researcher expressed the following experience with the project.\u000AI began to come to the church three years ago and soon I was invited to participate in the medical service days that FMA promotes. Some time later I understood that it was not just this, but that the objective was to change Guatemala taking her out of poverty through education in agriculture, literacy and other areas of need. In FMA I found a new calling: to see my nation transformed. I learned in the church that we need to share a gospel that puts bread on the table and impacts the nation. I do not have to stop being a doctor to be able to share the word of God. I have been impacted by seeing people of my church and especially those of the communities that love to help promote the development of their neighbour (L8SH).\u000AProfits of the programme\u000AFMA has done twenty five service days in most regions of the country. The only department that has not been visited is Pet\u00E9n. After the service days the central ESH church adopts a village and they do follow up in them. Seven villages were adopted by churches of ESH churches in the different departments. By 2007 they have six rural schools and a 148\u000A
