Guatemala Youth Missions Trip

May 26 - June 3

Since 2015 Crossroads Church has been in partnership with pastors, churches and leaders in Jalapa, Guatemala. Our heart is to help support and breathe life into local pastors, their churches and communities. In 2024 we lead our first team of high school students to join our work in Guatemala. They held a VBS for children who live in the city dump of Jalapa. The impact was so amazing they decided they had to go back this year!

This will be our third trip to Guatemala and our second time back to a ministry called Arca de Noe. It is an outreach ministry to kids and families who live in the city dump. These kids spend most of their days collecting recycling to make money for their families. Arca de Noe provides them with one meal a day, showers, and an education. Their heart (and ours) is to see these people break the cycle of poverty starting by meeting physical needs. We get to come alongside them to feed the kids and teach them about Jesus through a 3 day VBS.


We can’t wait to go back and reconnect with our sweet friends and we want to invite YOU to help us get there. Our trip is at the end of May and will cost about $2,800 in total. We are asking that you would prayerfully consider donating to help make this trip possible.


We can’t thank you enough for your prayers and support as we go!


Love - Aubrey & Ellie
