Guatemala or bust

I leave tomorrow for Guatemala with my oldest 2 daughters. We are going to be building 4 houses while we are down there. Here is a link to the mission we are going to be staying at for anyone who wants to follow along.

Guatemala bound this summer

This is a letter my oldest daughter wrote to mail out to family and friends about our upcoming trip to Guatemala this summer:

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 support,

Anna Hill
