My Nonprofit Reviews

I first heard about Hope Project International through my church a few years ago. They went on a missions trips to Nicaragua and unfortunately I was not able to attend. I always said that I wanted to go on a mission trip but just never found the time to. After speaking with some friends this year, I decided that this summer would be the summer I would go on a mission trip. Initially at first I wanted to go on a trip with Hope Project but they didn't have available dates for me in the summer. I signed up with another nonprofit but unfortunately that trip got canceled. So I wasn't sure I was meant to go on a trip. But God works in mysterious ways and Hope Project had an opening to go on a trip to Guatemala! I immediately signed up! I was informed that it was going to be with another church in Florida and I was excited to go on this journey. The day came and I joined my group in Miami and we began our journey to Guatemala. Instantly, we all connected on the trip and I have to say that they were an amazing Team to have worked with. Bill and Sabra, our Team leaders, really made me feel comfortable since I didn't know anyone in the group and really made this a trip to remember. Our group in Guatemala worked with Servants Hearts Ministries and we were able to build 3 homes for families who lost their homes last year from a volcanic eruption. Seeing the families reactions when we gave them those homes is something that I will never forget. It was truly a life changing experience that I will cherish forever. With that said, I would most definitely go on another trip with Hope Project God willing in the future! I am grateful to God for putting organizations like Hope Project out there for people to do the Lord's work.
