Known as “The Land of Eternal Spring”, Guatemala is rich in natural beauty—from the shores of Lake Atitlan, to the peaks of its 37 volcanoes, this Central American nation is one of the most beautiful in the world.
Behind all this beauty lies the lingering pain of a 36-year civil war and recent devastating natural disasters.
The true beauty of Guatemala is its people.
Gripped by poverty, the people of Guatemala hunger for the Kingdom of God. The majority of Guatemalans practice a form of Catholicism, and it’s estimated many also mix in ancient tribal religions and cultural traditions into their faith.
Will you share the freedom of a relationship with Jesus in Guatemala?
Ministry:
You’ll be partnering with Purchase Effect, a business from Gainesville GA that’s helping artisans and ministries in 5 different countries. Their premise is this:
Make a purchase – Affect individuals who have little to nothing.
You’ll spend time walking into shops with the hope of building relationships with local artisans. Days will be laid back and slower pace. If an artisan invites us into their home or where they make items, we go. We pray. We tell them about Jesus.
“During this trip we had the opportunity to visit Lake Atitlan in Panajachel, Guatemala and to sail across it to Santiago, Guatemala to live missionally… we had the opportunity to visit an AIDS/HIV orphanage where all of the children were infected with the HIV virus… Many were challenged, and we all were impacted.” – Jennifer Tyler
*Food is not included in this trip cost
This is the Purchase Effect. This is what we do. Connect people to the greatest story: Jesus.
