Mission trips to Guatemala
Julie Jacquez and a missions team gave chickens to a local La Union resident, Irma, so that she could sustain a reliable food source.
“Despite living in these conditions that most Americans can’t ever imagine, Irma is extremely grateful for everything she has. Her compassion is amazing and her heart so pure. She can teach us all to be content with the things we have and always show appreciation for the people that are placed in our lives. We can show love to every person we encounter.”
Overview
Our team focuses on coming alongside the long-term missionaries with which we have built relationships. The objective is to offer relief assistance to children and their families who were previously rescued and cared for at the Hope of Life Campus.
Alongside the long term missionaries on the ground, our goal is to equip and empower Guatemalans by delivering food bags and hygiene kits, along with providing hygiene education to impoverished villages. Routinely checking in on these families maintains the relationship between the missionaries and community members.
