Houses of Hope

We are a church that believes God’s reach goes beyond national borders and extends into the lives of those living around the world. We encourage our church body to be apart of our mission trips to expand their love, knowledge and compassion for God’s people. These trips are opportunities to bring the gospel to the nations and to serve alongside our brothers and sisters in Christ internationally.

House of Hope in Zacapa, Guatemala provides homes for abandoned or orphaned children and a school for the local community. Houses of Hope International is a unique faith based orphanage program that has the philosophy of providing both a mother and father in each home to foster an environment of love, guidance and education for every child.

This summer we brought of a team together to serve with House of Hope to be the hands and feet of Jesus to orphans, families and villagers living in Guatemala. Why did we choose to serve with House of Hope in Zacapa, Guatemala? This area is poverty-stricken and leaves abandoned and orphaned children with little hope for much success growing up. There is an estimated 5,000 murders per year in this country and drug trafficking is rampant. We believe that there is a big need to love and serve those in Guatemala, especially the children and youth. We wanted to help our brothers and sisters in Christ with their mission and vision at House of Hope by serving the orphans and the community.

While serving in Guatemala we brought a medical missions team to distribute medications and prescription reading glasses. We provided children and villagers with donated clothing, shoes, toiletries and food. Shared the gospel through drama to kids in local schools. We painted both a church built by House of Hope and a House of Hope school and dug a trench for electricity improvements. Our team also had the privilege of clearing a piece of land within the House Of Hope complex that will be used to build another House of Hope home!

This mission trip was a life changing experience for every team member. Everywhere we went the children and local villagers were so thankful for our service. Our team kept strong and unified throughout the trip through prayer and the encouragement of one another!
