Learn More About Our Mission in Guatemala
Guatemala has both the highest population and the biggest economy in Central America. However, it has some of the worst poverty, malnutrition, and mortality rates in the region. Over 50% of the population is below the national poverty line, and 13% of the population lives in extreme poverty. This is just one of the many issues that our brothers and sisters struggle with on a daily basis!
Missionhurst is actively working in Guatemala to help support those affected by poverty, poor health care, gang violence, lack of education, and much more. With many neighborhoods suffering from poverty, hunger, and violence, our missionaries remain actively present among the marginalized people to evangelize and be evangelized by the poorest of society.
Currently our missionaries are working hard to provide meals to those living in extreme poverty, education to the many children who need it, proper medical services to the women and infants, and labor and supplies for improvements to the main Bethany Center in Cobán. We ask that you keep Fr. Maxi, Fr. Thomás, Fr. Felipe, and their teams in your thoughts and prayers as they continue to spread love and the word of God to those we are serving in Guatemala.

At this very moment, Missionhurst missionaries in Guatemala are helping to serve those suffering from poverty, violence, and malnutrition. Daily, our priests are walking alongside the poorest of the poor in some of the most dangerous locations and engaging in street ministry to help those who desperately need our support and the presence of God.
During this penitential and prayerful season of Lent, our minds and hearts are turned toward the suffering and death of Our Lord. We examine our own lives, find ways to live prayerful penitence, and attempt to root out the selfishness and lukewarmness that keeps us from loving our Lord with abundant joy and generosity.
Lent is a time of reflection and prayer leading up to the celebration of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday. During this time, we reflect on the sacrifices of Jesus Christ and immerse ourselves in deep, meaningful prayer. We ask that you consider joining us this year by praying for our brothers and sisters in Guatemala.
“He who is generous will be blessed. For he gives some of his food to the poor.” (Proverbs 22:9).
