Trail Blazer Missions
Guatemala

Imagine yourself hiking your way up a mountain to find over a hundred orphans waiting for you to arrive!  Or delivering food to families in mud huts and find children sleeping on dirt floors.  Then YOU make a difference just by showing up!

Word travels fast as the natives anxiously await the foreigners to trek their way into the jungle.  They hear you have food, clothing and an important message for them.

Share the Gospel with the Mayan Indians while you sit next to them to learn their native ways.  Be soothed to sleep in a hammock in the middle of the rainforest as you listen to the river just a rock's throw away.  Or jump in a bunk in the cabin and listen to the midnight rain dance on the tin roof.  Either way, the memories will last a lifetime.  You are sure to have the most exicing summer ever!
