Mission Discovery’s Spring short term mission trip in Guatemala is a unique experience. Spend your spring break in the beautiful town of Antigua, Guatemala. The spring project consists of two main elements: Learning and Serving. Each day you will hear about the Guatemalan culture and learn Spanish one on one with a Guatemalan teacher at the Christian Spanish Academy. Afternoon service options include volunteering with community missionaries serving the poor in Antigua. You may roof a home, paint a school, install wood stoves, or deliver food baskets to needy families.

The town of is nestled between towering boulders and miles of scrub brush. This mountainous setting is home to many needy families, but it is often overlooked for help because of its size and location. Thousands come to Tecate with the hope of finding more opportunities in the US or near the border. Hardworking people find jobs in the tourist or manufacturing sectors, but even then the average salary ranges from only $4-$5 a day, causing many diligent workers to live in abject poverty.
