Hope for Guatemala High School Trip

Posted on February 16, 2010 by dustin

Each Spring Break, high school students from Stonecreek Church sacrifice their typical teenage vacations to bring hope to children in poverty. In a world where approximately 40% of people live on less than $2 a day, students want to make an impact, meet a need, and bring hope to the hopeless. Through Hope for Guatemala, a non-profit organization in Guatemala City, Guatemala, high school students have the opportunity to help 200 children who represent 114 families, and as a result positively impact the lives of more than 1,100 people.

As a youth pastor, I hear students say, “I really want to go, I just cannot afford it.” Due to the financial strain, students miss out on the opportunity to not only change someone else’s life but for their own life to be changed. It personally breaks my heart having to turn students away from life change because of a simple financial barrier. My desire was to somehow provide a way for every student interested to participate with no excuses.

So this year I decided to try something different to help. A Golf tournament.

On March 10th, 2010 the student ministry at Stonecreek will be hosting a golf tournament to help raise support for the annual trip to Guatemala. Through each and every donation, students at Stonecreek Church and the children in Guatemala will be impacted.

You can make a difference!

No matter what amount you would like to donate, you will contribute more than your money…you will be helping us release children from poverty in Guatemala.
