Mission Trip Description:
We plan to fly into Guatemala City from Denver, and stay near Antigua about 2 hours away from Guatemala City. We will spend most of our time in the Antigua area (a World Heritage Site and relatively small city with a population of 50,000) and depending on the mix of the team and numbers of adults & kids, our abilities and interests etc. we may split up teams for varied ministry opportunities and schedules. The hope is for you (and your family) to engage personally with ministry opportunities, build relationships and get a glimpse of God’s heart for the people of Guatemala.
Included in our trip schedule: team conversations/debriefs, prayer, worship, rest, relaxation (local tour of Antigua) etc.
Costs are based on local ministry knowledge and should be fairly realistic. We would encourage you to budget in some extra (gifts for families served, personal shopping / meals out, tours and activities etc).

This year, in partnership with Welcome COS, we want to go outside of our own northern side of the city and engage a community where many of our city's newly arriving refugee families live. Sienna Place Apartments is comprised of 20 apartment buildings on 11 acres with over 900 residents!Come join us as we bring the joy of music and celebration while engaging with a community that is made up of so many different people from refugees to those who are struggling economically.
What to expect: Anyone is welcome, including children! We’ll hand you a booklet with all the words, and walk along the apartments, singing to the residents. They know we are coming, and we expect to make new friends along the way.
What to wear: Please dress in WARM Christmas-themed outfits! We want to be joyful and celebratory, but also know that the weather can be cold at this time of year so please plan accordingly.
