One huge reason that our ministry has been able to grow and expand is the teams. Whether it is construction, clothing and shoe donations, much needed personal items from the States, or just to spend some quality time with the children at the home, these teams are such a blessing to us. Short term mission teams have become a vital part of New Life and Peace Ministries.
Volunteer mission teams members are relatively normal people, for the most part anyway. They sacrifice their time, their vacations, stretch their financial budgets, and give up the comforts of their homes to become a foreign missionary for a week. They leave behind their loved ones, and they go and share the love of Christ with those they have never met and may never meet again. They always go to be a blessing, but always end up receiving much more. Church groups and strangers can come together to become a part of God’s work here in Guatemala.
You may ask yourself, “Why be involved in short term missions?” It is only to bring glory to our Lord and Savior as we go declaring His glory and good deeds. If any individual or church group is interested in helping on a short term mission trip, please contact us.
