Highland City Nonprofits and Charities

There really aren't accurate words to describe the work that God is doing through Hope Project International, but I will try my best even though my words don't come close to the impact of what they are doing to change the world every day.<br><br>Two years ago I went on my first mission trip with Hope Project International, and I went to Nicaragua. We had two teams, one that built houses and one that was part of the VBS (vacation bible school) team and I was on the VBS one. Getting to go and love on kids while sharing the love of God to them was such an incredible experience and one that I will never forget. <br><br>In October of this year I wanted to go back on another mission trip, and I absolutely knew that it had to be with the Hope Project International team again. And I strongly felt God calling me back to Nicaragua. Unfortunately, I wasn't going to make the funds that I needed to go on the trip due to it being during the holidays. I reached out to ask if they had another trip that I could go on that wasn't Thanksgiving week and Guatemala was brought up as an option. The Hope Project International team does such a great job of helping you figure out how to go where God is leading you. <br><br>Going on the Guatemala trip I had no idea what to expect. I was jumping into a team last minute that I didn't know, a country I hadn't been to before, and stepping out of my comfort zone to be apart of the building team. That week I bonded so incredibly well with my small, but mighty, team of 5. Built two houses, delivered 10 bags of food to families, played with kids, and made incredible memories that I am so blessed that God called me to through the Hope Project International team.<br><br>If you are looking for an organization to go on a mission trip with, look no farther! Than, Megan, Bill, and Sabra our such an incredible group of people that change the world in ways that you will never know unless you partner with them! If you don't feel like going to another country is in your calling just yet, giving to them would be just as tremendous a blessing as going. You are still a huge part of helping change the world with such an incredible team.<br><br>I feel like my story still doesn't even come close to describing the experience that I had through the Hope Project International team, but I do know that God called me to them, and that He is using them in tremendous ways to change the world, and I can't wait till next July when Lord willing I will be going on another mission trip with them!<br><br>So what are you waiting for? Join this amazing team in changing the world!
