Guatemala Summer STM: June 5-12, 2022 (2327)

January 25, 2022 to June 20, 2022
Chichicastenango, Guatemala
Trip Dates: June 5-12, 2022 The OHC team will travel via airplane from San Antonio to Guatemala City, then by chartered/private bus to the mountain town of Chichicastenango. We will be serving under the leadership of our missionary partner, “Mission Frontiers,” for 8 days across several villages around the Chichicastenango region. Under the direction of our ministry partner, team members will also be involved in evangelism, worship, sharing God's Word through drama and music, medical exams, widow’s home construction, and children’s ministry outreach. Regardless of your experience or language knowledge, all of your multifaceted gifts can be used on this trip. Do not underestimate your value in building God’s Kingdom abroad because you believe you’re lacking an associated ministry skill. God can use your exclusive talents on our Oak Hills Church short-term team to serve Him in this mission journey. “God doesn’t call the equipped, God equips the called.”
