MISSION TRIPS to Guatemala
When you go to Guatemala you will be helping out children in the orphanage in very tangible ways. You’ll also get to share God’s love with them and spend a lot of time with them. More importantly you will receive heaps of love coming back to you from those young kids. You’ll feel a bond with them that you didn’t know could exist and will realize that these little ones are the very neighbors that Christ reminds us to love in the greatest commandment.

HOW WE SERVE
We believe in the work that God is doing through our mission trips that we take every summer to Guatemala. For each trip we know that God is impacting the children in Guatemala and is impacting the youth who are able to experience serving in a new way. There are a few different ways that we serve the children at Casa San Andres. We have the opportunity to serve through work projects, by leading VBS- type programming, running after school activities for the children, and creating friendships with the NPH Guatemala community.

WHO CAN SERVE
Youth currently in the 9-12th grades. Participants can come with a group or you can sign up as an individual. Churches and other groups can register as well. We’ve had church youth groups, school groups, and FCA groups join us in the past. College-age young adults are also invited to serve on a mission trip with us. This is a great option for young adults who might not be able to give up their whole summer to serve on a mission trip but still want an opportunity to be on mission.
