Known for its cobblestone streets and colonial architecture, Antigua is the cultural hub of Guatemala drawing tourists from all around the world.
But on its outskirts are families who struggle to earn enough money for basic food and shelter. Children as young as seven often give up the chance for education to help sustain their families. Your mission: join forces with local ministries to disrupt the cycle of poverty by providing hands-on help through construction projects and Children’s Bible school. Your work will serve to brighten the future of Guatemala.
The last day of your mission trip is set aside for souvenir shopping, relaxing, and exploring the ancient historical town of Antigua!
Daily Work Assignments:
Construction: Your team may build a home for a family in need, a chicken coop, or a cooking stove.
Children’s Bible School: Your team will help lead a children’s Bible school that could attract over 100 children.
Distribution: Your team may distribute water filters, or grocery items to members of the community

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT GUATEMALA TRIPS
7th international trip led by Mission Discovery. The organization is blessed to have good Godly leaders whose hearts balance the challenges that come with running a trip for novices in a foreign land. Your organization is truly blessed by God. Keep up the great work. It truly changes lives!
From the work to the worship, to the logistics to the spirit and hearts of the Mission Discovery staff, our experience was world-class and one we will always treasure!
The Mission Discovery people were the best. The trip was excellent… well organized and worthwhile.
I had an amazing experience in Guatemala! The service experience, which was perfectly ran, was truly an awesome opportunity to not only learn about a new culture, but also to help to Guatemalan people.
I love the group aspect and worship every night.
Mission Discovery runs an incredible trip to Guatemala.
