Our mission trips aim to provide opportunities to build relationships with the children and teachers of La Promesa, to utilize our skills to remove barriers to a good education and to expose more people to our mission and the communities in which we serve. Each trip has different objectives and expectations but aims to fulfill our purpose statement below and leave you with a great appreciation of the beauty of Guatemala and its people.
Matthew 2540’s purpose:
-We believe that education is the key to eradicating poverty, ending a culture of dependence and creating citizens who become the economic backbone of their communities.
-We believe that Christian values are the key to creating strong families which in turn create strong communities led by ethical leaders.
-We believe that working alongside those in need to help them realize their God-given potential is the key to empowering lasting change as we model how to give back and to pay it forward.
-We envision a future where options are not limited by lack of access to education and job training.
