There are countless ways to do the Lord’s work in Guatemala: by serving meals to hundreds of children who have no other source of food, installing water filters in families’ homes, and praying with teenagers who are searching for a purpose.

We were blessed to do all of this life-changing work with a mission team last month. And we can’t wait for more of you to visit us on a quick trip or longer mission trip.

Led by Transforming Futures President Pablo Villagrán and Board members Cinda and James Rachor, 17 participants on our most recent mission trip spent a week immersed in the work.

They spent time in the Feeding Center praying with Pastora Mercedes. They laid a concrete sidewalk at the Michelle Pho School. They traveled to a rural community outside of Guatemala City, where they were a light for children who live in extreme poverty. 

One of the most humbling and rewarding moments for Emma, a medical sales professional from Michigan, was when the group had to serve more than one hundred children from a few pots of food.

“Looking around, there was no way there was going to be enough,” she says. “But God showed up, and we were able to feed every single person there.”
