How CFCI is Working in Guatemala

Projects • Missionaries • Trips

Guatemala is located in Central America, just south of Mexico and northwest of El Salvador and Honduras. Most of the population lives in rural areas, but like other areas of the world, urbanization is increasing. More than 17.11 million people live in Guatemala, of which 4 million reside in or near the capital city of Guatemala. Approximately 55% of Guatemalans live in poverty.

Our base operates with several ministries and different life-changing programs around the city of Chimaltenango, which is located 55 km from Guatemala City.

We have a community transformation center (CTC) that has been a great blessing to many people, in it we have a psychology clinic, a beauty program, an English school, we serve a group of widows, and we have discipleship and prayer meetings, in addition to that, we have a soccer school that serves children in poverty.

In Guatemala we also work with low-income families through spiritual direction, education, physical and mental health care, nutrition, discipleship classes, sports ministry, parenting and marriage assistance, skills workshops, and job development.

WITNESS

VISION

HOPE

In Guatemala we bear witness of the love of Christ through our different programs such as our VICTORIOUS Soccer School, our SPEAKING HOPE English School, our STEPS OF FAITH Beauty Program, our WOMEN OF FAITH AND HOPE widows’ program, our PSYCHOLOGY CLINIC and care for pastors, ministers, couples and schools. At the same time, we provide tools for the holistic development of the community.

We are committed to God in the service that He allows us to carry out and with the relationships that He allows us to build to be agents of transformation in our community.

Transforming cities by transforming lives.

We support the local churches in our community with programs such as ABUNDANT LIFE and STEP UP TO LIFE, in which we provide churches, pastors and ministers tools they can use to expand the kingdom of God and to train and empower their leaders, motivating them to leave their four walls and be part of what God is doing and what He wants to do through the local church in each community.

Finally, one of the main characteristics of all the work that the Lord allows us to carry out in this beautiful country through the different programs and projects, is interpersonal relationships. Through these relationships, God has allowed us to bring His love and hope to those in need. Without a doubt, this hope and this love are what have marked our lives to this day and continue to leave a mark.
