We have answers!
We will be traveling to the nation of Guatemala! The majority of our outreach will take place in the city of San Cristobal located in the region of Alta Verapaz (Department of Alta Verapaz). This area is a beautiful mountain region where temperatures remain in the 70s year-round. San Cristobal is approximately 212 kilometers (131 miles) from Guatemala City, Guatemala.
We’re honored to join forces with our long-term ministry partner in Guatemala for this trip, Mountaintop Promises. This ministry was founded at the height of the COVID-19 global pandemic and works daily to provide outreach and relief to the most vulnerable citizens in Guatemala by providing sports programs for youth, a malnutrition program for underprivileged mothers and their babies, as well as a dynamic and growing outreach program for children.
At this time our trips are designed for committed followers of Jesus ages 18+. If you’re a minor and would like to serve on this trip, please reach out to our office via the contact page for availability and consideration.
Our goal is to provide a memorable global ministry experience to each participant, and we believe that a team performs best when they have rested and eaten well. All three hotels that participants will stay at on this trip (Houston, San Cristobal, Guatemala City) will have air conditioning, high-speed internet access, hot water, and comfortable beds. While in Guatemala, you will have the opportunity to experience local cuisine along with other restaurants that you would be familiar with from the United States.
Our goal is to make every trip all-inclusive! Included in the price of your trip is:
- One-night stay in Houston before departure for team development and training.
- Round Trip international airfare departing from Houston, Texas.
- All normally scheduled meals.
- Transportation, hotels, and activities while in Guatemala.
- Travel insurance.
- A different t-shirt for every day of serving in Guatemala. These T-shirts will be yours to keep after the trip.
At the time that we’re launching this trip there are no vaccination or testing requirements for entering or departing Guatemala. Our team will contact you immediately should this change.
All participants will depart from Houston, Texas! We look forward to welcoming our 2024 Guatemala Team to Houston one day before the trip starts for team development and training. All team members must attend this time of training and depart from Houston, Texas.
Week #1 August 1, 2024
Week #2 September 5, 2024
The safety, health, and well-being of our 1M teams is the top priority of our 1M Staff. We monitor the conditions of host nations year-long to ensure safe travel is possible and work with our hosting ministry to ensure a strong and equitable safety and security protocol is established for every part of our outreach. All participants will be required to pass a background check. We will always operate in faith, and continue to use wisdom combined with years of experience as we make decisions regarding safety.
This trip is all-inclusive, but we encourage participants to bring extra spending money for souvenirs, thank-you gifts for their supporters, special offerings, and personal needs that may arise on this trip. Most people bring anywhere from an additional $500 – $1,000 in spending money. A large number of businesses and vendors in Guatemala accept credit cards as well. A special time of sightseeing and souvenir market will take place in historic Antigua, Guatemala during the last full day of our 1M trip.
We’re excited to know that you’re eager about packing for this trip! Once your application is approved for you to participate you will receive detailed information (we love lists!) about how to pack and prepare, along with helpful info regarding customs.
Absolutely! We’re here to help you with your experience from start to finish. Please feel free to reach out to us via Contact 1M. We look forward to hearing from you!
