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.

Absolutely! We’ve designed an easy payment plan specifically for this trip to ensure it’s hassle-free for all participants. Additionally, we collaborate with each individual to ensure attendance at our One Mandate Fundraising Academy. We’ve witnessed incredible miracles unfold during the fundraising phase even before the trip kicks off!
At One Mandate, we hold a strong belief that the complete gospel—both preached and demonstrated—should reach every corner of the world! Unreservedly spirit-filled, we anticipate witnessing miracles, signs, and wonders in the lives of every individual we encounter, including those who join us on our trips.

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

We’re excited to launch and offer Mandate University’s Global Activation School in Guatemala! Global Activation School only happens on 1M trips and will not be available in the United States or digitally. 1M trips are designed not only for you to serve but also for you to be equipped. We invite you on a 1M trip to attend Mandate University and to be activated to serve Jesus through Global Ministry!

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!

You’re more than welcome to join both trips if your schedule allows. While there are similarities between the trips, each one holds its own unique elements and experiences. No two trips are identical.
Testimonials

Don't just take our word for it!

Hear how the Ministry of One Mandate is changing the world!

I've had the honor of walking with Cody Graves for almost 20 years. His partnership and friendship are one of the most valuable relationships I have had to date. Through his passion for pursuing the power of God and his commitment to the integrity and legacy of the Kingdom, I've seen firsthand how seriously he takes his heavenly assignment. With great confidence, I can say whatever Cody Graves is involved with will be top-notch. His humor is as huge as his heart is, and his ability to be led by the spirit and to execute excellence can sincerely be trusted. If you're with Cody Graves on anything he is doing, you're in great hands. I am forever thankful that our paths of purpose crossed, and you will be too.

Partnering with One Mandate and Cody Graves for our church's first mission trip was an honor. Their commitment to reaching the world for Jesus and their impeccable attention to detail earned our trust effortlessly. Our young women returned from Guatemala equipped, inspired, and with a deeper passion for serving others. One Mandate's planning ensured safety and the trip expanded their skills, pushing them to serve our local church with newfound boldness and compassion. Knowing Cody Graves for over a decade, we've always trusted their integrity. We're eager to send more teams and hope for One Mandate's mission to grow, building God's kingdom, one trip at a time.

God took my perception and turned it into his perspective! I came on this trip thinking I would get to hold and nurture some babies, feed the hungry, and help point people to Jesus. Little did I know that something inside of me would be ignited. I wasn’t expecting to have a fresh touch from God, honestly, I was there to serve. Man oh man was I wrong. In intimate moments with the One Mandate team, my life was forever changed. I experienced Jesus in a new way that you just can’t get here in your local church. From walking hand in hand with the locals to worshiping Jesus together in different languages. I’m getting goosebumps all over again. Amazing experience and can’t wait to be on a flight again. Nations have my heart!

My experience with One Mandate, and the team was by far one of the most moving experiences I've had, focusing on valuing and serving people who haven't had the opportunity to hear the gospel shared. This team takes the guesswork out, provides the proper preparation, and training, along with supporting you throughout the entire trip. My first mission trip will be a lifelong memory that will fuel many to come.
