What We Are Providing

Our work in this beautiful, yet often challenged country includes Churches, Outreach Programs, Educational Initiatives & Nursing Home Care.


Each of these initiatives is designed not only to meet immediate needs but also to promote long-term, sustainable development within the Guatemalan communities we serve. Our efforts are rooted in a deep commitment to uplift and empower, creating lasting positive change in the lives of individuals and families.

A Dream, God's Promise, Fulfillment of God's Word.

Pastor Juan and Adelita have faithfully dedicated their lives to serving the Lord and the people of Guatemala. Having stepped away from their full-time jobs, they now devote themselves fully to the ministry God has called them to, serving their church and community with unwavering faith and compassion.


After years of prayer, hard work, and God's provision, the church in San Benito has now been completed and is holding weekly worship services. What began as a vision has become a thriving place where people gather to worship, grow in their faith, and experience the love of Jesus.


Recently, Adelita left her job to care for her mother, who is battling stage 5 kidney failure. Even in the midst of this difficult season, Juan and Adelita continue to faithfully serve the Lord, trusting Him to provide as they invest in the lives of those around them.


Their love for Christ and their commitment to His Kingdom are evident in every aspect of their ministry. We are grateful for their obedience, sacrifice, and servant hearts, and we ask that you continue praying for Pastor Juan, Adelita, their family, and the growing church in San Benito as God continues to work through them.

Care & Compassion for the Elderly

Nestled in the heart of Guatemala lies a haven of care and compassion – the region's sole nursing home dedicated to providing shelter and comfort to the elderly. This nursing home is more than just a facility; it's a sanctuary for those who, without this refuge, would face the uncertainty and dangers of life on the streets.


Understanding the challenges of aging, especially for those in dire circumstances, the nursing home strives to offer a nurturing and secure environment for its residents. However, the reality of resource constraints means that the facility sometimes struggles to provide complete meals to those under its care.


Recognizing this pressing need, our recent collaboration has been focused on enhancing the quality of life for the residents. A significant achievement in this endeavor is the successful drilling of a well. This project, brought to fruition through the generosity of donors, now ensures a steady supply of clean, life-sustaining water. It marks a crucial step towards creating a safe, healthy, and peaceful living space for the elderly.


The nursing home's mission goes beyond just meeting physical needs; it's about upholding dignity, offering companionship, and ensuring the well-being of each resident. It's a place where the twilight years of life are met with respect, care, and a community spirit, ensuring that every individual feels valued and supported.


As we continue to support and work alongside this nursing home, our commitment remains steadfast: to ensure that the elderly in our community receive the care and attention they deserve, surrounded by an environment that not only sustains life but also enriches it in every aspect.
