GO Guatemala 2009 Team


From top left to right: Joey Nigg, Daniel Pryde, Jon Nigg, Courtney Sibell, Elsa Johnson, Katie Hade, Megan Johnson, Sarah Calderon, Jamie Curtis and Jolene Holzhauer.

This will be CBC's (http://www.visitcbc.com/) 3rd mission trip to Guatemala as a part of our annual GO Campaign. We're all excitedly preparing to leave again in just 9 short days! It's amazing how quickly the last 5 months of planning have gone!

While in Guatemala, we're staying at Proximos Pasos, which is a girl's school in the small village/town of Santa Maria de Jesus. We will be serving alongside of the Mission Impact team (http://www.missionimpact.com/). Just to give you an idea of what we'll be doing while we're gone...

We will be:

  • building a water cistern for a group of local coffee farmers, which will take about 7 days to complete
  • leading a mom's group for about 70 women which will include a Bible study, craft, game, and coffee/bread snack time
  • leading a youth service for about 100 girls that attend Proximos Pasos
  • and many small construction projects at Proximos Pasos

The team will be busy! Please keep us in prayer as we continue to prepare for our trip. Also, be praying for safety as we travel June 28th- July 9th.

Check back for daily updates from the team starting June 29th.
