ACTS 2019 Mission Trip to Guatemala

We spend two weeks in Guatemala during the Summer serving the kids who call Valley of the Angels Orphanage their home. These children often come from situations of neglect, abuse, and poverty from around the country of Guatemala. While we are there, our main goal is to provide a ministry of presence to the children. We want to show them love and kindness by playing games and sports with them, eating meals and hanging out with them, and sharing our time, attention, and joy.

Guatemalans are in school from January to October and so while the kids attend classes, we also help out around the orphanage through various maintenance projects, office/administration work, P.E. classes, to name a few. Also during our trip, we help the kids with English, deliver bags of food to local, needy families, visit the Guatemala City Dump and much more.
