Is God calling you to an adventure in Central America?
Known as “The Land of Eternal Spring”, Guatemala is one of the most beautiful and diverse countries in Central America. From the jungles of Rio Dulce to the Lake Atitlan (a volcanic lake so deep it can’t be measured) and the colonial, cobble-stoned streets of Antigua, it’s a country of wonder.
Tourists travel to Guatemala from all over the world, just to climb its volcanoes, drink its coffee, and fly through the the rainforest on a zip line.
But the true beauty of Guatemala is its people—and they need to experience the freedom and hope of Jesus Christ.
In addition to being trapped in a form of Catholicism that is a mixture of tribal religions and cultural tradition, Guatemala is also home to families living in garbage dumps, orphanages with abandoned children, and overflowing prisons. They’ve also experienced terrible tragedy at the hands of mudslides and natural disasters.
A nation of religion, the people of Guatemala need to know of the incredible freedom that comes from true Christianity and a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Ministry:
While in Guatemala your ministry will be in San Pedro, one of 12 villages along Lake Atitlan, and you will do:
- Kids Ministry: Through VBS and sports, you’ll have the opportunity to share the love of Christ through the language they best understand: love.
- Community Outreach: You could go door-to-door on home visits, serve at a local orphanage or a dump, or help with minor work projects. Whatever it is, it will be an opportunity to encourage and build relationships with those who might feel alone or in need.
Will you be the hands and feet of Jesus in a country hungry for hope?
