Review for Mission Guatemala Inc, Indianapolis, IN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I went on my first mission not knowing what to expect. I was one of thirteen people from Johns Creek United Methodist Church trying to help the people of Guatemala and make a difference. I think they helped me more than i helped them? I was installing stoves in the mountains. The stoves were vented out through the roof to help the quality of air in the house. Most of the children & some of the adults had running noses and coughs. I was shocked to see a foot or more of smoke in the ceilings of the houses. The people were so grateful for the stoves. ( helping them use less wood & the health benefits.) I enjoyed seeing the excitement in their faces. The experience was incredible and look foward to coming back. Tom Heaton & Dave Burns were great host & have the passion it takes to make Mission Guatemala work. The whole week went smoothly & our group was lucky enough to see the opening of the food center. It was a good experience seeing the children sing & dance. Then we were served the first lunch in the new center. God Bless, Allan Chandler

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

The passion of the Mission ( Tom, Dave, Debra, Louis & the others) who treated us graciously. Then the people people of Guatemala. The people honored Tom & Dave at the opening of the food center.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Be patient. It took God a few days to make the world! LOL They are headed in the right direction. Our service & prayers will guide them.

Role:  Volunteer & We installed stoves, worked on a house at a construction site & and made three desk & chairs for the teachers.
