My Nonprofit Reviews

Our team has been to Mission Guatemala six times in seven years. We have been impressed with the quality and compassion of the leadership and staff. We have come to know the Mayan workers on staff as family. They have made us feel welcome and loved and in return we hope they have seen and felt the love of Christ from us. Their efforts to partner with each community they have aided is apparent. Each project is part of a contract with that community where the community has committed to contribute and participate with sweat equity and interaction with visiting teams. Mission Guatemala is a group of loving, caring people with the best interests of the people they serve as their primary focus. I cannot say enough good things about them and the experience of working with them!

Our team of ten from Newburgh United Methodist Church just completed a week of love, labor and community with Mission Guatemala. This was my fifth trip to Mission Guatemala and each new visit enriches the experience. We have developed lasting relationships with the staff and work crews that supervise the projects we do. The people of Guatemala that we serve have a trust and respect for Mission Guatemala that is apparent. The people are engaged and involved with the staff and the volunteers who work with them. The projects are their projects, not just something that someone else thinks they need! I would highly recommend this experience for teams of any age or skill level.

Just spent 8 days with Mission Guatemala working on restrooms for the school in Caliaj Tecpan. This was my fourth trip with MG and I will keep coming as long as I am able. The staff of MG have become family to me. The joy of the children, the hard working, friendly Mayan workers, the accommodations, the healthy, delicious meals, and the fellowship are impossible to adequately describe. My experiences have changed my life and renewed my spirit.

Mission Guatemala is outstanding because of how integrated they have become in the communities they serve. Involvement of Mayan staff and the requirement of involvement of the community who benefits in the selection, planning, and construction of projects is critical to their success and the level of trust that has developed for Mission Guatemala. We were warmly welcomed by the community and developed lasting relationships with those with whom we worked. In addition, the accommodations and food for the teams make serving on a team a real pleasure. This trip was my second to Mission Guatemala and I look forward to doing it again next year. It is a time each year that I can truly say I am the person God created me to be.

Mission Guatemala is helping people in the best way; they are fulfilling basic needs such as food and medical in a way that allows the dignity and active participation of those being served. I felt like my time and resources were more efficiently used than by any other charity I have been involved. I got to see and experience the benefits firsthand in Mayan communities in desperate circumstances. The organization and leadership of Mission Guatemala is simply the best!
