Child Sponsorship

This last team we had here at Mission2Guatemala was such a blessing.  Not only did they begin the water project in Sepalau, but they also sponsored 3 children to attend the Christian School in Chisec this January.  We are so excited to be a part of connecting a family in North America with a family here in Guatemala and begin a relationship that changes lives.    


2 Corinthians 9 says that if we sow sparingly, we will reap sparingly, but if we sow generously, we will reap generously.  It goes on to say that we reap generously, not for our own accumulation and benefit, but, so that no one would go without. 
When a North American gives, financially, to provide a Christian education for a child, they are sowing into the Kingdom.  What was out of reach for a poor family in Guatemala is now a reality and their future becomes full of possibilities.     


Sponsorship not only impacts the lives of those receiving the support, however; it also deeply impacts those who give.   The sponsor sees how they can take what the Lord has given them and make a difference in the lives of others.  It broadens their perspective and they open themselves up to what the Lord may want to do with their finances.  This is life changing! 

Thank you, Trenton Team!
