Guatemala High School Students Spring Break 2023

Guatemala 2023 - 9th - 12th Grade

The Guatemala  student mission team will be working alongside the staff of 410 Bridge, an organization that partners with communities in Guatemala, currently serving in the communities of  Rancho Viejo, Villa Hermosa, and Aldea El Pajal.

Because of 410 Bridge unique community development model, communities are empowered and projects become sustainable, they are not fully dependent on Western short term missions teams to complete or maintain. This will allow our team time and energy to pursue relationships as they work alongside community members on projects and through visits in their homes and churches.

This trip will provide a unique opportunity to engage and interact with members of a 410 Bridge community. Teams start to see ‘our neighbors’ have the same hopes and dreams that we do. We see teams encounter life changing experiences,
