A Stove, A Meal, A Prayer — Hope Is Traveling to Guatemala

Before the sun rises in the village of Santa Rosita, Guatemala, many families begin their day over an open fire built from scrap wood and stone. Smoke fills the room. Children cough. Meals take hours to prepare. For the elderly and the poor, even something as simple as a safe cooking stove, a warm meal, or a sturdy pair of shoes can feel out of reach.

This year, our mission team is returning and not just to visit, but to serve, build, pray, encourage, and walk alongside the community in practical and life-giving ways.

We are going with open hands and willing hearts. And we’re inviting you to be part of the story.

Because missions are never accomplished by those who go alone, they are carried by those who send, pray, and give.

What We Will Be Doing

During this mission trip, our team will be serving families and partnering with New Vision Guatemala through:

Installing safe, vented cooking stoves in homes
Home visits distributing food and essential supplies
Providing clothing and shoes for the elderly and families in need
Supporting Sunday church service and providing a meal
Leading youth ministry activities, games, and prizes
Sharing encouragement, prayer, and the message of Christ
Strengthening and equipping local ministry partners

Each stove installed means cleaner air, safer homes, and healthier families. Each bag of food means meals on the table. Each youth activity creates a space for joy, belonging, and spiritual growth.

How You Can Be Part of This Mission

Even if you are not traveling with us, you can stand with us.

🙏 Support Through Prayer

Prayer is not the least we can do. Prayer is the most powerful thing we can do. Please pray for:

Safe travel and protection for the team
Open doors and receptive hearts in the communities
Strength and unity among team members
Effective ministry and lasting impact
The families receiving stoves, supplies, and support
Spiritual fruit that continues long after we return

🤝 Support Through Giving

You can give toward the mission as a whole, or toward specific needs for the trip:

Specific Impact Opportunities:

Stove materials and installations for families
Food and supply distributions
Youth ministry games, materials, and prizes

Every gift both large or small becomes something tangible in someone’s life:
a safer kitchen, a full stomach, a warm pair of shoes, a moment of joy, a prayer answered.

The Invitation

This is more than a trip.
It is more than a project.
It is people serving people in the name of Christ with dignity, compassion, and love.

We invite you to partner with us through prayer and generosity. Together, we can bring practical help and spiritual hope to families in Guatemala.

You are part of the mission when you pray.
You are part of the mission when you give.
You are part of the mission when you send.
