Guatemala Students Schedule
The Schedule

What Is Our Schedule?

We are traveling to the city of Comitancillo located in the western highlands of Guatemala.

Below is a general schedule of planned activities. As anyone who has been on a mission trip before knows, sometimes God opens up opportunities to do things that we didn't originally plan to do.

  • Saturday: Travel
  • Sunday: Half day of travel and orientation
  • Monday-Thursday: Ministry
  • Friday: Travel and sightseeing
  • Saturday: Travel home

What are the accommodations?

Your team will stay at Mission Housing Ministries, which is set up like a boarding house with shared bathrooms down the hall.

What will we eat?

The Mission House cooks prepare meals for our teams using cleaning and food preparation processes that help keep teams healthy and strong for ministry. The meals are always good and have an authentic local flair.

What Are the Requirements for Team Members?

The following are necessary to be addressed or completed before you can participate.

Attend The Bayou Church

All applicants must regularly attend Sunday services. Applications from other churches or denominations will be accepted, but priority is given to members of The Bayou Church.

Participate in Team Meetings

The student mission team meets eight times before departure to learn about Guatemala's culture, plan trip activities, and bond as a team. Each team has a pre-departure dinner for family members, and there will also be a required parent/legal guardian meeting.

Complete Payments

All attendees make three payments: initial deposit, airline payment, and final payment. Amounts and deadlines will be shared at the first team meeting.

First Steps

Participation in First Steps is required for all international mission trips. First Steps is a single-session class that happens every Sunday at 9:30am in the First Steps Room.
