In this inspiring episode, we sit down with three of our own CFEMC linemen who recently joined 11 fellow Georgia lineworkers on a life-changing mission to the village of Guadalupe, Guatemala through NRECA International.

For two weeks, they worked in challenging conditions—battling intense heat, rugged terrain and plenty of insects—to bring something many of us take for granted: electricity. Together, their efforts helped deliver power to more than 65 homes that had never had it before.

They share what it was really like on the ground—from the physical demands of the work to the emotional impact of flipping the switch for the first time. Hear firsthand how lights, outlets and opportunity came to life for families and schools, and why they describe the experience as both humbling and deeply fulfilling.

This is more than a story about linework—it’s about service, connection, and the power of making a difference.
