Elan Church - Group Trip - Guatemala - 27E0117GU

Known as "The Land of Eternal Spring", Guatemala is one of the most beautiful and diverse countries in Central America.

Tourists travel from all over the world to climb its volcanoes, drink its coffee, and zip line through the rainforest.

However, the true beauty of Guatemala is its people.

Gripped by poverty, the people of Guatemala hunger for the Kingdom of God. The majority of Guatemalans practice a form of Catholicism, and it’s estimated many also mix in ancient tribal religions and cultural traditions into their faith.

Adventures’ Base in Guatemala has been established near Antigua since 2012. Our long term missionaries at the base love hosting Short Term Mission teams, inviting them into opportunities to serve in a variety of ways.

Ministry

• Clean Water: Many families struggle to access clean water in their homes. This provides us an opportunity to meet a felt need and share the love of Jesus as we install water filtration systems and train people about the importance of clean water.

• Church Mobilization: We partner with local churches to train up Guatemalan missionaries. This is a great opportunity to invest in Guatemalans that will eventually move to another country to share the love of Christ, make disciples and plant churches.

• Base Ministries: Because our base has been set up since 2012 there are a lot of opportunities to build relationships with many of the local kids and families.
