“If I speak in the tongues of humans and of angels but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers and understand all mysteries and all knowledge and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions and if I hand over my body so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.
And now faith, hope, and love remain, these three, and the greatest of these is love”
1 Corinthians 13:1-3, 13 (NRSV)
Lasting Relationships
Our mission work in Guatemala centers around building lasting relationships with the indigenous Mayan people we serve. We focus on improving quality of life in four key areas:
Awakening hope through sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Improving education for children
Improving economic conditions
Improving healthcare
Child Sponsorships
We believe that education is the most effective way to break the generational cycle of poverty. Most Mayan children do not continue school past the sixth grade, and are therefore unable to pursue most career paths. Your financial support can provide educational opportunities for these children, and your spiritual support can provide encouragement and hope to the children and their families.
Our vision for the future:
Supported by partnerships with U.S. organizations, we are working to establish a permanent presence in Guatemala with a center for spiritual, physical, educational, and economic support of villages we serve.
With a facility in the Guatemalan highlands, complemented by in-country and U.S. support teams, we will share the gospel thru short-term & long-term missions, maintain ongoing ministry in the villages we serve, and expand the ministry to additional villages and partners.
Sustaining Partnerships
The green butterfly is a Mayan symbol of hope. Bright colors, patterns, and symbols evoke Mayan culture. The Cross, above the outline of Guatemala, represents the call to share the gospel of Christ with those we serve.
