JUNE 7th-15th
Antigua’s cobblestone streets and colonial architecture make it a cultural gem, drawing visitors from around the world. Yet beyond its charm lies a stark reality: many families struggle daily for basic necessities like food and shelter. In these communities, children as young as seven often sacrifice their education to support their families.
​
This summer, we’re partnering with Kairos Christian School and local ministries to bring hope where it’s needed most. Through construction projects and a vibrant Children’s Bible school, we aim to brighten the future of Guatemala—one family at a time.
WHAT WE'LL BE DOING
CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
We will build homes for families, chicken coops, or cooking stoves to transform living conditions and bring hope to their daily lives.​
CHILDREN'S BIBLE SCHOOL
We will lead activities and lessons that share the love and hope of Jesus, bringing joy and faith to the hearts of children.
COMMUNITY DISTRIBUTION
We will distribute essential resources like water filters and groceries to families, bringing hope and support to those in need.

We will spend the final day of our trip exploring Antigua, a town filled with rich history and vibrant culture.

EXTRA MILE - MISSIONS
2400 Miles. $10 Per Mile. Every Mile Matters
​​​​This summer, we’re embarking on a life-changing journey to Ciudad Vieja, Guatemala—a journey of more than 2,400 miles.
​
Through Extra Mile Missions we’re inviting you to sponsor a mile (or more) at $10 per mile. Every dollar raised does more than get us to Guatemala—it helps bring hope and lasting change to families in need. Together, let’s step up in generosity and live the extra mile life. Sponsor a mile today and, if you’re supporting a specific trip participant, be sure to note their name on our giving page.
WHY YOU SHOULD GO
This trip isn’t about being a hero. It’s not about showing up and trying to fix everything. It’s about stepping beyond the boundaries of your everyday life and opening your heart to a bigger picture—a picture of the world as God sees it. Most of us only see the world through the lens of our own lives—our experiences, our struggles, and our comforts. But when you take the time to walk alongside someone else, everything shifts. You begin to see a world that’s bigger than your own reality.
You begin to appreciate the beauty of another way of living. You experience that although the struggles are different, the longing is the same—the longing for purpose, for peace, for something greater than the challenges we face. You see that beneath the surface of different lives and circumstances is a shared need for hope, for connection, and for the unshakable love of Jesus.
We’re going to share that hope with families who need it. We’re going to remind them—and ourselves—that God’s love is constant, His grace is sufficient, and His presence is always enough. That's why we go.
