Welcome to My Guatemala Mission Trip Fundraising Page
Sending Disciples and Changing Lives! All together we can be a part of this amazing work.
This will be my second trip to help in the clinic in Aguacate, Guatemala with the Orthodox Christian Mission Center. My first trip was an amazing, joyful, and humbling experience where I felt that I was truly able to make a difference as part of the amazing team that I joined in Guatemala. I feel very fortunate to have been chosen to join this mission team a second time.
Aguacate is a village in the highlands of Guatemala with very limited access to medical care. The clinic where I will be serving has occasional medical students who come to complete a rural health rotation. Additionally the OCMC is helping a local young woman from Aguacate with a scholarship to attend medical school in hopes that she will eventually provide steady medical services in the area, but for now these mission teams provide a large portion of the medical care available to those living in Aguacate and the surrounding areas. The closest hospital is three hours away, and it is often too expensive for the average person from Aguacate or the surrounding villages to go there for anything but the most dire medical issues.
My first request to you is to pray for me, the others on the mission team, and for all the people of Aguacate that we may do God's will and spread God's love, and that he will guide our hands in all that we do. Additionally, if you are able, your financial support to help me join this mission team would be greatly appreciated.
With love,
Jessica
One way the Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC) is bridging the distance between Churches is through Orthodox MissionTeams. Mission Teams connect Orthodox Christians in North America and communities around the world, establishing bonds of love, support and mutual learning. Teams accomplish this by:
- Presenting a visible expression of the love, unity, and support;
- Sharing the teachings of the Orthodox Faith and providing labor; and
- Increasing awareness of overseas Orthodox churches and the unending mission efforts of the Church.
OCMC Teams respond to the needs around the world -- send disciples and change lives. We thank you for being a part of this awesome ministry!
