Goals for our Short Term Trip Program
Our short-term mission trips typically last 7-10 days and involve serving in various ministry activities of our field partners. Our goal is to help support and expand the effectiveness of their work through the skills and abilities given to each team member. We believe that the short-term mission trip will benefit our field partners, the sending churches and organizations, and the individuals that make up the group.
While in Guatemala, we introduce groups to the ministries of our field partners. An effort will also be made to expose the groups to the Guatemalan culture. Hosting short-term groups is one of the primary activities of Life of Hope Ministries. Our staff has experience in helping the team prepare for their trip and are well skilled in safely carrying out activities in Guatemala.
