Trip leader: Mike Malone | malone@h2osu.org
Who: You! and Iglesia Gran Comision Guatemala (IGCG) (Great Commission Church Guatemala)
Why: We shamelessly believe that God can use the weak and broken things of this world (us) to bring redemption and radical transformation. We also desire to follow in Christ’s footsteps as He came to seek and save the lost. So we are going to Guatemala! We hope that through this experience God would stir each of our hearts to become more engaged with spreading God’s light and glory throughout the world.
What: A week-long mission trip focused on serving for and alongside the local church IGCG. Main purpose is to share the love of Christ with those in Guatemala. We will be reaching out to the local university and a nearby school located in an impoverished area.
