A team from St. Michael took a trip to Guatemala during the Summer 2019!
Guatemala is rich in natural beauty. Yet behind all this beauty lies the lingering pain of a 36-year civil war, from 1960 1996, and recently devastating natural disasters. These tragedies have left many in extreme poverty.
Working with Pray America we went to Chichicastenango to build and restore homes for widows and families who are homeless, free of charge to the family. Pray America has worked to build long-term relationships with the Pastors and Elders in the area. They help the local economy by purchasing local supplies to construct the homes; providing free shoes and food weekly, and offering scripture-studies and meals. They also opened a dental clinic.
