Yes. Due to respect for the culture, women are asked not to wear shorts while in the villages. Men may wear shorts while working, but should wear pants for church services and similar activities. This is covered in more detail in the mission guide.
Currently, there are no vaccinations required to visit Guatemala. However, we recommend that you make sure that your Tetanus vaccination is up to date. Also, if you are traveling during the months of November-April, a flu vaccine is recommended to protect the Central Americans that you will be ministering to. See CDC.gov for updated COVID-19 travel requirements.
We use Delta, United or American Airlines.
Yes. Our organization has contact with a doctor and a private hospital. Rarely, has a team member ever had to use these services.
Bring only the money that you will need for souvenirs, snacks, church offerings, or other incidentals. Most people bring $50-$100 spending money, depending on what you will want to spend. All money must be new, crisp bills to be exchanged into Quetzals, Guatemalan currency. It is recommended that you advise your bank that you will be traveling and carry your debit card rather than cash. More info on this is located in the mission guide.
A good rule of thumb: Don’t take anything that you would hate to lose. Don’t bring anything flashy. Most married women will leave their engagement rings at home and we encourage you to do so.
At times, yes. We do have access to wifi internet, though it is not always totally reliable. We will give you an emergency contact number to leave with your family in case an emergency arises at home. We recommend that you tell your family that no news is good news. This is covered in more detail in our mission guide.
A suggested list is located in our mission guide.
We recommend that you talk with others who have flown before. They can help guide you in the process. Also , you can contact the airport that you will be flying out from and they will alert you to anything that you will need to know. More in depth information about La Aurora airport in Guatemala City is located in the mission guide.
Most likely, you will meet and talk with your travel host months in advance of your trip. A team meeting will occur at least a month before your scheduled departure. Important information will be discussed and you will have an opportunity to ask questions. More information on this subject is covered in the mission guide.
Our U.S. Coordinator will discuss with you which activities to prepare for. It will depend on the type of trip you are joining and what is needed at the time.
