Why serve in Guatemala with Mission Impact?
Mission Impact is an Evangelical Christian mission agency that serves in over twenty different rural communities in Guatemala sharing the Gospel through our ten long-term ministry projects. Our 75 staff is comprised of teachers, technicians, healthcare, and community development workers. The majority of our staff is from Guatemala and they direct and lead their ministries, which gives credibility to our work and adds to the effectiveness in the communities we serve.
Our Servan Teams engage in exciting, hands-on ministry that extends the sharing of the Gospel in word and in deed. These expereinces are life changing and will draw one into a closer realtionship to Christ and His call on our lives for Kingdom service.
While Mission Impact is making a difference in the lives of Guatemalan children and adults, MI Servant Teams gives you the opportunity to participate in what God is doing in Guatemala! Help us build, teach, serve, heal . . . the opportunities are endless!
Construction: adding on to already existing facilities i.e. schools, churches, homes or constructing new facilities i.e. hospitals, schools, children’s homes, feeding centers, etc. in one of the rural communities in which MI ministers.
Medical/Dental Services: forming your own medical/dental team to minister in rural villages along side a Guatemalan physician through the local church.
Teaching & Training: bringing a teaching team to minister in one of the local churches or schools, providing training to pastors, women, youth, and children i.e. VBS
