Join 91.3 WCSG and 88.3 & 89.9 WaYfm in serving orphans and vulnerable children in Guatemala. The team will bring the children much needed supplies and share God's love with them. What better time to share the Gospel than the weekend before Easter! Guatemala is a beautiful country that is described as “the land of eternal spring” but is filled with tens of thousands children struggling in the face of extreme poverty. You will be changed forever by a visit to the country.

About Guatemala
UNICEF estimates that are over 370,000 orphans in Guatemala. Many of these children come from families facing extreme poverty; 70 percent of people in Guatemala live below the poverty level. Orphan Outreach ministers in Guatemala by partnering with local orphanages, churches, and Christian schools for children in extreme poverty situations. We also make it a priority to come alongside the Guatemalan nationals and work with them as they serve their own people.
