Annual Service Trip (Guatemala)



Each year, we travel to Guatemala to build homes alongside From Houses to Homes. In Guatemala, nearly half the population lives below the poverty line, and many families reside in makeshift housing without safe flooring or structural security. By building safe, stable homes, we help provide not just shelter—but safety, stability, and opportunity for generations to come.

From Houses to Homes (FHTH) focuses on transforming the lives of indigenous families in highland Guatemala by replacing unsafe, makeshift homes with durable, brightly painted concrete block houses that include metal doors, skylights, and working windows. Beyond providing shelter, the organization aims to restore dignity, hope, and opportunity to families while fostering stronger community bonds and volunteer engagement.

The Vessel is intended to be an encouragement to people taking those first, scary steps of faith as they try to raise significant financial support and stretch their faith. Raising support is an important component of missions’ work, just like learning to fully listen to Him and to trust God for every detail.

Families join us for a special celebration filled with lunch, laughter, and community, highlighted by a visit from Santa and a room filled with thoughtfully selected gifts and activities. For families navigating medical challenges and financial strain, this day is more than a holiday party—it’s a moment of relief, grace, and pure cheer.
