This summer from July 19 through July 26 my sister Kaylyn, my Mom, and I will be going to Guatemala on a mission trip with Lighthouse Community Church youth group and Paradise Bound Ministries. I am sending this letter to ask for your support. I would like to share with you more about the trip, why we are going, and what we will be doing there. I would also ask that you consider supporting the trip either financially or through your prayers.
The time spent in Guatemala will be spent building homes for local villagers who currently reside in mud floor, corn-stalk huts. The homes we will be building are steel frame houses with dry wall interior, cement-board and stucco exterior, and a poured concrete floor. They are 12’x12’. They are incredibly nice homes compared to the corn-stalk huts of the villages.
In addition to the home building, we will also be holding two medical clinics. These clinics will be located in remote mountain or coastal villages many of whom have not seen outsiders for many years. The medical clinics will open the door to sharing the gospel with these people through the Jesus film, and through a local pastor’s preaching.
I would simply ask that you prayerfully consider how God may lead you to support our mission project. The cost for the 3 of us combined is $3900, plus we are raising money for supplies to build the homes. You can send your donation to us. Please make all checks out to “Lighthouse Community Church” and note “Hill family” on the memo line. If you need a receipt for a tax deduction please include a note stating that and we will make sure that church writes you a receipt.
-Thank you for your consideration.

I did not know that the three of you were going! That is wonderful!! I wish I could donate but please know we will be praying for you as you go!!
This is really wonderful. I remember my daughter taking her first trip...to CHINA at age 15. She had never flown let alone going to China for a month.
It was a great experience for all of us watching her raise well over $2000. She even went door to door and told people she would crack an egg on her head for $5, LOL. People never made her do it, but were so impressed they gave to her cause.
She is heading to Mexico this summer to lead a group of teenagers from all over the country on a trip. She is now 24 and has been all around the world and raised every cent to go.
Your girls will be so blessed and how cool that you can go, too.
Keep us posted on the updates.
