Hope of Life International to Guatemala 2026

July 25 - August 1, 2026 

Come serve with us in rural Guatemala to serve alongside a ministry bringing physical and spiritual transformation to over 300 villages. This trip is open to both individuals and families with kids of all ages, so if you are looking to serve with a ministry that has a spot for anyone in the family to use their God-given gifts and skills, this may be the trip for you.

What will we do?

Team members may serve in various different capacities depending on their gifts and abilities. Some of these may include serving at a children’s hospital, and serving those with disabilities, hosting a VBS for children in an orphanage, hosting a youth camp, providing theological education and discipleship at a pastoral training school, participating in various farming and building projects, or other community outreach. The team will stay on a secure ministry base not far from the ministry sites and will have opportunities to debrief as a team and with their families each day.

Who can go?

This trip is open to anyone with a heart to serve cross-culturally who has been transformed by Jesus and wants to share His love in tangible ways. Flexibility and a willingness to learn are a must! Minors under the age of 18 are welcome to participate and come on the trip, but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Adults over the age of 18 are welcome to apply.

How can we support?

If you aren’t interested in joining the team, but you still want to be a part of sending them, the team needs support both in prayer and in finances. Please pray for the team as they prepare and train together, that the Lord would equip them for cross-cultural ministry just as he has called them to it. Pray for them as they are on the trip, that they would remain physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy, and that the Lord would work in them and through them to minister to those they meet in Guatemala.
    • If you’d like to let the team, or a specific team member, know you are praying for them as they prepare and serve on this trip, please fill out this Google form, and we will send them your prayers. 

    • If you would like to contribute financially to the team, feel free to click on the “Donate” button above, and you can choose whether to donate to the team as a whole or to an individual on the team.

    • If you are interested in joining this trip in 2027, you can fill out the Interest Form here, and we’ll contact you when the application opens back up for next year.
