Thank you for considering a short-term mission trip to Healing Guatemala. We are thrilled to host your team and assist you in realizing your visions and goals in our beautiful country.

At Healing Guatemala, we understand that this mission is ultimately God’s mission, not ours. Although we cannot fulfill every aspect of His work, we strive to reflect His love and purpose through our service to the people of Guatemala. Through our various initiatives—be it mobile clinics, construction projects, or children’s ministry—we aim to demonstrate God’s presence in tangible ways, reminding the local community that they are cherished and not forgotten.

Your team has the opportunity to engage in four key areas: rural mobile medical clinics, rural mobile dental clinics, surgical operations at Hospital Bethesda, and construction projects at our facilities. Through the mobile medical and dental clinics, we reach remote communities where access to healthcare is limited. Your team will provide essential medical and dental services, along with necessary medications and treatments, all free of charge. Additionally, at Hospital Bethesda, your team can perform surgeries, either by screening candidates upon arrival or by working with pre-recruited patients. A nominal fee is charged to participants to avoid creating dependency. Moreover, we invite your team to assist with construction efforts as Healing Guatemala expands its facilities. This growth will create more opportunities for collaboration with short-term mission teams, enhancing our ability to serve the community effectively.

The cost for a mission trip varies based on its duration, team size, and the type of ministry involved, excluding airfare to Guatemala. We ask for $80 per day per team member, which covers in-country transportation, logistics, meals, lodging at Bethesda, Wi-Fi access, and filtered water. Please note that if your team chooses to dine outside (or meals on the way between the airport and Bethesda) or requires hotel accommodations, those costs will be the team’s responsibility. Additionally, the daily fee does not include interpreters (approximately $20 per day) or project materials and supplies.
