Trip
Focus:
Construction, Children’s Ministry & Widow Care
Come
join us as we journey to Chichicastenango, Guatemala, to serve the
Quiche people—a vibrant community in the mountain regions where Oak Hills
Church has developed a long and meaningful relationship. We will work alongside
our local partner, Missions Frontier, an organization that collaborates with
area pastors on essential relief and development projects.
Over
the course of the week, we will travel to various rural villages, constructing
village homes for Quiche widows and families in need, addressing
critical housing challenges. Each day, we’ll also connect with community
members, sharing the hope of Jesus with children and adults through Biblical
dramas, worship, crafts, and activities. Additionally, we will focus on Widow
Outreach as part of our mission. No matter what your talents and skills may be,
you can be used on this trip!
On our
rest day we will be able to explore the largest open-air market in
Latin America, where you’ll experience the rich culture and craftsmanship
of Guatemala firsthand. It will be a chance to shop for unique items, bless the
local vendors, and take in the colorful atmosphere of this vibrant marketplace.

- Lodging: Casa Del Rey Hotel, which offers mountain views and a welcoming atmosphere to rest at the end of a day of service. Rooms are double or triple occupancy and include private baths, hot showers, and a cozy sitting area with a fireplace.
- Meals: Buffet-style breakfast and dinners served at the hotel with soup, salad, main course, and dessert, providing time for fellowship with your team each evening.
